Thank you for sharing this very important message. My mother died at the age of 42 from breast cancer. She let life and fear get in the way of taking care of herself. No one should do that.

Linda, I am confident you will never slack in taking care of yourself, but if you do, I hope Cookie is there to tap her paw and give you a disapproving look.

Thank you for sharing your mom's story....so very sad. I lost my mom when she was 41 .. way to young for a person to die.

haha...yes, Cookie would probably do that! She is a trip!

I was a bit stupid and played Russian Roulette with my health.....and I suppose you could say I was lucky to have caught it when I did: BUT it could have been picked up so much sooner if I had just had my mammograms as I should have.

PLEASE LET THIS SERVE AS A REMINDER TO GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS!!

If you don't have money for one, there are many places that offer them low cost and/or free. I believe all insurances cover them.

You have had a tough year, but you are one tough cookie!

Thanks for the reminder about getting a mammogram. I hate turning your thread to all about me, but never told you that you inspired me a month ago. There was a mobile unit outside our building in August, so I knocked and went in and had a mammogram. I thought this could not be easier than to have the mobile mammogram unit show up right outside where I work. I have to admit I was nervous especially when I was on the phone with the hospital about my insurance and the woman said, is this correct, you have not had a mammogram since 2006? Bad, bad, but glad you inspired me after 8 years! All my news was fine, but I should never have put it off like that. Thank you Linda.

So glad it turned out well! Now, make sure you get them yearly, Lisa!!!

My mom, little sister and I all went together back in August. I guess you could call it a mammogram party. The nurse even participated in our photo shoot. Why not make the best of it! It is scary waiting on results and I too have cyst and will have to go in for more test..again! But to anyone and everyone out there....find a friend(s) or family member(s) and plan a lunch or something afterwards.


Linda, I am hoping you are ok!

[ladyjane]

Well, here it is four years later and I am dealing with this issue yet again. I have another tumor that is considered primary. This all started about a month ago when I went for my routine mammogram. Led to an ultrasound, then a biopsy...and now we are in the planning stages. I saw my oncologist yesterday and will see the surgeon tomorrow.

I have been wavering on whether to post about it or not, but the past two days I have really been a bit depressed and thought maybe the prayers would help. I know they did in the past. Rather than start a new thread somewhere, I decided to bump this one because I can go through it again and read the good wishes that made me feel better back then.

So, if you think of it when you say your prayers, I would appreciate it if you would include a mention of me. I am a bit overwhelmed.

For sure Linda you will be in my prayers. Let us hope things also go well this time around. (((((Hugs)))))

So although I have not been on Yorkie Talk very much due to work etc this popped up on my thread today. Sending lots of loving thoughts and prayers your way Linda...hoping for a complete recovery!

[TxVicki]

Linda you know my thoughts and prayers with you.

[joyce evans]

Will pray for you Linda! Keep your chin up Girl! The Yorkie Ranch needs you!!

Linda, I just said a prayer for you a minute ago. Your words meant a lot to me when I was here blowing off steam as my mother was battling breast cancer last year (she is doing great btw). You know yorkie kisses are a great treatment for depression, I know I needed them from Cookie last year when I was fearing it was Stage 4 with my mom after googling too many articles.

Linda, I am very sorry that you are facing this again. You are in my thoughts and prayers for the best treatment plan. Praying for one that is effective and swift because I know you are a busy woman. It's hard enough to do all that you do and fight cancer.

Sending love and hugs. Please keep us updated. I want to see you ringing that bell soon. Then you can say to the bell, "We've got to stop meeting like this."

Special prayers, strength and love coming your way in a steady stream for a very special,lady !!

Linda, I am keeping you in my prayers and thoughts. I hope you can feel all of our uplifting hugs surrounding you.
