Hi Melody
I'm so sorry for what you are going through right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Whenever things seem to be getting the best of me, I say to myself, "This too shall pass", and it helps. Try it.
Life sometimes dishes out some pretty tough obstacles for us to overcome, but you'll be o.k., you"ll see.
It has been a long tough Winter, but hey, we're rid of February, and March will go by quickly. Spring is such a beautiful season, and I'm sure once you see the flowers poking through, and feel the warmth of the sun, things will look a whole lot brighter.
There are a lot of wonderful people here praying and pulling for you, things will be O.K.
Best of luck to you on Thursday. I'm praying for you, too.
Janice

Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time and sending prayers that you will get good news. I too have had 3 breast biopsies. All benign. I wish you lived near me as my doctor who does my exams is awesome and he really takes good care of me. You do have to be really really careful if you have that family history. Has your family been tested for the gene and can you then be tested? I was in a study that taught me a lot about the genetics but our family is a false negative which basically means that they think we have a genetic link but have no yet found that particular defective gene. Anyways, I wish you luck and please keep us posted.

I am sending my love, thoughts and prayers your way. I know how scary this can be. On the 5th of March it will be 15 years that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a full mastectomy and am doing great

I understand the fear, every time I get a lump anywhere, my heart sinks, I have had most of my thyroid removed and my ovaries as they had "not so good" tumors. I think the waiting for results is the worst. I will be thinking of you on Thursday, and praying that all is well, just remember, whatever the outcome, you have us here. I wish I lived nearer to you. I would be there in a flash to put my arms around you and give you support.

I'm sure your good friends will not think you're imposing. They would probably love to help you out if need be.

Good luck for Thursday, let us know the good news so that we can celebrate with you.


Hugs,
Sheilagh

Melody, Even though those of us posting are not with you, I'm sure you know there are many praying for you.

Loneliness is a terrible feeling - I know from the loss of my husband 2 years ago just how awful it is.

I hope you can feel my prayers added to the others. I'm pulling for you and praying for you. Remember, God holds us all in the palm of his hand.

Oh no! I am sorry! Is there a support group in your area that you could join? Or maybe talk to your doctor and see if your insurance/hospital has group sessions with other people that are going through the same thing? <--to you

I'm thankful to hear that yours were all benign. Someone ence told me they had 7 biopsies, and all benign. I do worry because of my family history. No, there has been no testing done. I don't think my insurance would cover that for me. I don't know that I want to know if there is the gene there. I guess just going once step at a time is all I can handle. If the gene is there, so be it, if not, I could still develop cancer too. It is just so much to think about!...lol Right now I will deal with this lump until I know it is benign. Then maybe another time I could get the test when I am feeling more calm and able to deal with that. Good luck in your future with your health. Thanks for the posting.

Melody, I certainly will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.
I am sorry to see this because I was hoping it would be behind
you after today. Please get better and get those tests done
so you can move forward. Prolonging them will only make you
sicker. I know it's easier said than done but hun it's not going
to go away so prepare yourself for next time and be strong
and get them done. We are not there with you physically but
emotionally and mentally we are. Wishing you well,

Hugs,

MissSophie and saphire, you have been through this and I admire the great courage you have to have to make it through! I have been with my mom and aunt when they went through it, and a friend that had throat cancer. It is not an easy thing to be on this side of the disease, I cannot ever imagine what it must be like to have to go through those treatments. It is good to hear from those of you who have been through it. Thank you for your support and good thoughts.
