Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / November 2005Here I go again :(
Don't know if anyone remembers me or not. I have lurked ever since last year when I had a little scare.. my ob/gyn found a "little lump" in my right breast and sent me for an ultrasound and possible biopsy. I managed to dodge that bullet and was thankful. Didn't want to go back for that darned yearly in October but did anyway and went and had that mammogram again. Dr. called last Friday and said they see something suspicious in the other breast this time, so I'm scheduled for an ultrasound and "possible" biopsy in the left breast Tuesday Nov. 8th. I totally freaked last year and am trying to be better now, but have this overwhelming feeling that so many others are diagnosed every day, why should I be any different. Is this the way it's going to be every year?? I've kind of kept it out of my mind until last night and had a complete meltdown. You all were great last year with positive thoughts and prayers from those who believe in that. Thanks for listening, it helps. Rhonda in Texas > Don't know if anyone remembers me or not.

I recommend curling up with a good book and plenty of comfort food ;-) You'll be fine. allan > > Don't know if anyone remembers me or not.

I'm trying to remember to breathe..:) Rhonda Rhonda, We all worry when we have a lump, it's only natural. But keep in mind that most lumps are not cancer. My mother has, over the years, had about 20 lumps and all have been benign. Nana23 > Don't know if anyone remembers me or not.

Thanks for listening, it helps. Hi, Rhonda, What an unpleasant emotional roller coaster ride! I sure can understand about tests, and anxiety over possible results. Here's hoping that as long as you have to be going through this stress, it plays out exactly as it did last time, i.e., nothing worrisome in the long run. That's certainly the likely outcome. Let us know how it comes, OK? Sending positive wishes/thoughts, Ann T. Remove 'dontsendspam' from address to reply by email > > Don't know if anyone remembers me or not.

Rhonda Hi Rhonda, I'm sorry you are having to do this yet again. I'll certainly keep you in thought and prayer as you wait for your Nov. 8 appointment. Hoping that you'll soon be writing that is another "dodged bullet". Barb > Hi Rhonda, > I'm sorry you are having to do this yet again.

Thanks for listening, it helps. > Rhonda in Texas Thanks for everyone's good wishes. I appreciate them. Looks like I dodged another bullet. Dr said the spots he was looking at "seem" to be cysts and nothing more, so come back in a year. I wonder if it's going to be this way every year.. maybe in a few years I will quit freaking out, ya think? Again, I appreciate the cool heads when mine isn't so cool. Rhonda So glad to hear that! Think of it positively. This will ensure that you do visit the doctor regularly and keep a check on your health always. Thats always a good thing. Cheers.. Hi Rhonda, So very glad to hear you've had good news! It's been twenty two years for me and I still get anxious when there is any reason for testing.....Perspective is somewhat better than it was way back then, but this disease deeply affects a person and I've become resigned to being nervous at test times. I'm just glad that there are many days and weeks and months when I'm not living and breathing cancer, in between the times I need diagnostics done. Hope you can do some celebrating!

It helps tremendously to just hear them when you feel anxious and alone. I will keep hoping all of your test times turn out good. Thanks again, if I can return the kind thoughts when you're feeling down, I would be more than happy to. Rhonda > Thanks for everyone's good wishes. I appreciate them.
