I know it's best to tell you not to worry but I know that is not doable. Maybe it would be best to move closer to family in case you do need help recuperating. Do you have any very close friends nearby?

yes, the idea even of cancer is is scary...i hope you are doing better now.
i am not able financially to move anywhere. and my family that i am close to are not well off financially either. i think though if it were to be cancer and i wanted to move home they would pool together to help me do that. i do have some very close friends here. wonderful people. but i would not feel comfortable imposing on anyone. even asking family for help would be very hard for me.
thanks for the prayers and your thoughtful email. i appreciate everyone's good wishes thoughts! thank you.

When I signed on this morning, it was this thread that I opened first... before all others. I am experiencing similar health issues at this time and although I have family close by I do sometimes worry incessantly about it. How can one not ???? I noticed that we are close in age (I am 52 ) and I would love to help in any way I can.
Hugs to you ... Janie

thanks Janie, you are right, one cannot not worry, no matter if they have family or not. really we are each alone in our illnesses. no one else can really understand unless they have been there, or even sometimes if they have. we each react differently and feel things in our own unique ways. but it does help to ease the burden, if not the worries when we have loving friends and family.
your offer to help is greatly appreciated. i will keep that in mind. blessings.

Good morning Melody,
It was heart wrenching to read your story. What you are experiencing
is what lot's of us fear sometime in life. Your not alone. You have come
to the right place for support and comfort. I am sorry about your mother
and aunt. It's hard to be alone when you are sick but don't jump to
conclussions. The past has been postivie and hopefully this time will
be no different. I am sorry your going through this waiting alone but
you can also pm me if you feel the need to talk. I am a widow and live
alone as well. My children are not far but lead their own lives and being
a very independent person I rarely ask for anything, just do for myself.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayer's and hope Thursday comes
fast and everthing is fine once again for you. Try and think postivie
thoughts and get some sleep. Being sleep deprived will just make you
more stressed. Take care and know YT prayer's are very strong.

Wow, I know what you are going through. I just realized this morning that it has now been nine years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Those words strike fear into the heart. The good thing is that there are so many new treatments, and it is curable. That really does not make it easier. Hang in there, and I will say a little prayer for you. I hope that this is another one of those other kinda lumps.

Thanks Carol, I know everything is in G-d's hands, but fear is such a real thing anyway. I have been fearful my whole life. But have met and conquered many challange's too. It is times like this that I wish I had children to turn to. Never having had skin children sometimes makes me sad. But like you, I am very independant and probably would not ask for a lot from them either.
I did get some sleep, but still feel so weary. Fear is so draining. I will keep all you YTers in mind when I need someone to talk to.
I have felt a lot of love and caring coming my way from all of you!

The waiting is what makes everyday living difficult. It's like you can't even think in complete sentences. Your brain is in shock. So glad you have William. My furbabies have been my sanity several times in the last few years. Prayers, love, and hugs. On the plus side, the past lumps have been benign, and you go in for physicals, so if it's bad news then you caught it early. Prayers in the meantime.

[MeganS]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. My prayers are with you.

[Tiggerwit]

My friend had a scare last year also and it was only scar tissue. let your doc know how you are feeling maybe he can prescribe a mild something for you and/or put you in touch with a support group or someone that you can talk to.

Keep us posted.

[patty58]

Melody, My heart is breaking that you are so alone. At least you have sweet William. I pray that your lump is benign and that you will heal quickly. I am praying that God holds you tight in his arms and comforts you. Please know that I will be here if you ever want to just chat or vent and just be comforted.

[celstu1]

ooohhh sending thoughts and prayers your way! Everything will be fine... Im sure its benign and its really great that you are on top of it so closely! (((HUGS)))

[cuzio23]

Melody,

I am sending you lots of love and hugs, and I will definitely be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. As so many people have already offered to you, if you ever need someone to vent to, I am just a PM away!

[stingrhea]

hi everyone,
i just wanted to thank all of you for all the love and support that has come flowing my way. i wasn't sure if i should post that here or not. i am very glad i did! i am doing better today, waiting for Thurs. to come and hopefully know more then. i definitely don't feel as alone as i did. yes, having William here helps me tremendously! he makes me laugh with his antics and he is such a good cuddler! he is again lying on my chest sleeping.
i will keep you all updated as i know more. hopefully this will be all resolved in a couple of weeks, or sooner i hope. again, thank you all!
Melody
