I was diagnosed in November 1996. I, too, was told it probably wasn't cancer, however my surgeon wisely told me that I should open the door, look inside, and at least entertain the idea that it could be. When I got the news from him a week later after the biopsy, I was fairly calm. My tumor was also found by myself and was stage 1. None the less, as a a student of biology I elected to have at least a minimum range of chemotherapy in addition to the lumpectomy and radiation. It was a wise decision it turns out because our family now has been found to carry the BRCA2 gene. I was tested and, of course, I have that gene. Back in 1996 nothing was known of this mutation nor would there have been any test to detect it. Having a stage 1 tumor is good news, if there can be good news with this sort of diagnosis. Know that you are stronger than you think and that you have many people who love you and a strong family that will support you. Hugs.

I will resist looking at it again and let the colourful ideas percolate in my mind! I will definitely take inspiration from your quilt and see what happens when I start making a new quilt! I might try hand cutting and hand piecing mixed with some machine piecing! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful quilts :) EShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686427998376770549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244865727892186735.post-73458330390135344432019-01-27T18:00:50.847-05:002019-01-27T18:00:50.847-05:00The sun is shining this afternoon, but seeing your...The sun is shining this afternoon, but seeing your quilts still brightened my day and gave me a lift.
