Well 2 days and counting. I go for my Bx thursday at 10:30. I was ok with all of this until today. SOmething hit me, I am getting real nervus. I dont know why. I am not all that optimistic. Not cause of the BP, but because of family history. My mom had 3 lunpectomies, and eventually died of liver CA.

Good morning Jo! I have been thinking about you. Agreed, it is very nerve wracking. Keep thinking positive thoughts - I am sure it is benign!! My girlfriend went through this and unless it's you, it's hard to imagine the fear, according to her. Much hugs and a ton of P&PT's to you!! Please keep us posted!
Good luck, Kelli

Oh Jo...honey. We'll be there with you in spirit.

Keep those negative thoughts DOWN now, okay??? You have to be positive and strong. I know you can do it.

How are the doggies doing?

Love you,

Keli

Jo,


I'll definitely keep you in my thoughts, but understand how a family history would make you apprehensive.

Jo-


I found a lump a couple weeks ago in my breast and flipped. I called GYN and she just examined me a month ago so she said to keep an eye on it and I did but it went away. I was terrified because my aunt had breast cancer. I can somewhat relate to your fear.


I know it is hard to do but remember most of these lumps are benign. Think as positive as you can. I will be praying for you and Please let us know how it went and when you find out the results, let us know.


Hang in there


Tina

Jo-

My thoughts are with you. I understand how stressful this can be. I had a lump removed from my breast when I was 19 (this was when the did surgery, not biopsies). Then, last year just before I was dx'd with lupus, I found another lump under my arm and one on the side of my breast. I've had to get a mammogram every six months since then to keep an eye on it. As of now, there has been no sign of cancer, but that fear is always there. I was adopted and don't know much of my family history so there isn't much of a comfort zone there.

I hope that the test goes well for you and that the results are returned quickly. I pray that everything is well. You are in my thoughts.

Hugs,
Peg
