The Timeline

2/5/13 - Annual mammogram. Yay to being 41!
2/6/13 - Ominous message on home answering machine from the Patient Navigator.
2/7/13 - Talk to Carol (aforementioned mentioned Navigator). Something looks suspicious on my left breast, and I need to go in for another mammogram.
2/19/13 - Follow up mammogram on left breast. Talk to the amazing Dr. Jain immediately after. She walks me through the images of my breast, explaining what's normal and what's not. Turns out "smudgy dots" are not normal.
2/25/13 - Biopsy on left breast. Piece of titanium is inserted as a marker.
3/1/13 - Learn pathology results. Can't get Joe Jackson out of my head. Diagnosed with Lobular Carcinoma In Situ (LCIS)

3/5/13 - Consultation with surgeon. Lumpectomy scheduled for 3/18/13.
