That's a scary situation to be in, moreso because of the emotions that must still be lingering from your mother's illness. But try to stay as positive as you can. You are being proactive about this and that's the very best thing you can do. Let us know how things turn out. We will all be thinking about you and hoping for the best.

Welcome Linda,

This is the place to express or fears, worries and joys. Don't really have any suggestions, sorry. I have had a needle biopsy. It was quick and not very painful. Thankfully the doctor didn't see anything to alarm him. Hope, you have the same results.

Best wishes,

Rain

Linda, first off good luck at the appointment. I can well imagine that you are afraid...and it is understandable, but you need to rememeb4er that you are doing what you need to to catch this early if it is anything. This does not mean that you have breast cancer but there is so much that they can do for you now if you do have breast cancer!

I will be keeping you in my thoughts for the 25th... and I pray that this is just breasts with a lot of tissue only!

Please let us know how it goes ok.

Hugs to you! Lor

Believe me I understand fears and such. I just had my gall bladder removed last Thursday. I was so scared. I gathered up all the prayers and thoughts from this wonderful group and brought them with me. It really did help me through. Take my prayers with you on the 25th. Please keep us posted.
