You sweet thing, I am right there with you also, holding your hand, comforting you. You are not alone, not ever. We are all always with you. Doesn't the room feel crowded? Always look in your heart Mimi, for I am there!

Love, Jeanne ♥

I've been meaning to write and wish you the absolute best. I'm so sorry I haven't. Thanks so much for supporting me. It's so great to read your messages as I wait. You all know what it's like...

I am trying to have faith! I think I am next in line. It's a cold dreary day in DC, but I have the day off of work at least. I'm so scared because there are so many cycsts in my breasts...

Thank you for the good wishes.

Sending good thoughts your way!

Big hugs.

Just had the mammogram -- just a little pressure, no pain. Now waiting for sonogram. So nervous. What if they find something?

They will say it's only cysts and not cancerous ones!!! and you will be just fine... BREATHE!!! Pray-Have faith and remember we are here!!!

Hopefully they won't find anything, but if they do you'll face it with the courage you've shown so far. So what if it may be mixed in with tears, anger, frustration, fear.

You have such a positive spirit, I know you will be able to face whatever's ahead, and the good news is you now have the opportunity to get some really good news! All of our fingers and toes are crossed for you.

Please let us know how you're doing.

Take care,
Cindy

Mimi, I knew your annual mammogram was coming up, but haven't seen you on the boards Let us know how it goes, and take a deep breath. Everything will be fine. I know this is stressing, but somehow we get through it. You will do well. We will all anxiously await your post. Hugs.

Judy

your friends are there with you praying and thinking on positive outcome.
Everything will be fine.

Yes, now is the time to celebrate

I'm so glad that all is well for you today. And thanks for the education - I didn't know the lumps could be "just" tissue instead of cysts. Celebrate your good news (bloody Mary time?)

I am so happy for you Mimi! That is the best news! I wish I could get that good news...

Love, Jeanne ♥

Jeanne, your time is coming. I can feel it, you just have to wait a little longer!!

Truly, thank you. I guess I am just feeling so anxious now and still so scared. I just wish that I could get a break here and not have all of these tests and all of these scares that I still have cancer in me. You are so kind.

Love, Jeanne ♥

Mimi, I am so happy Ned is still with you, and enjoy the shrimp cocktail and oysters! mmmmmmmm!!
hugs, jackie

See! I knew you could do it and be ok! Doing the happy dance! Worry is a waste. Sorry I got here late. But in time to see Mimi dancing with NED!

Enjoy all of that lovely seafood (as I sit here and eat candy at my desk) and wallow in wellness!!

YEAH!!!!! That was easy....and didn't hurt a bit (I bet). Anyway, glad to hear the all clear sign, and proud you got through this one. All of those thoughts coming your way helped.

Mimi,
Wonderful news.
Yes celebrate--you deserve it.

Margo

Relieved, too.

Kind regards, Susan

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mimi just saw your post--so happy you got the all clear. You are such a wonderful support to these discussion boards. Thank you for all your insight. Great, you are celebrating and we are celebrating with you.

So glad you received good news, Mimi! :) Congratulations!!

I'll bet with news like that, you are still out celebrating! So glad to hear it! Congrats for the bravery of making it through and Dancing with NED! ♥Pammy

We do know you a bit, Mimi, so an afternoon at the salon is just what we would have chosen for you. Too risky to send you to a movie: you might have begun assessing it as a film maker rather than surrendering to pure escapist pleasure.

Some of us would probably recommend ice cream to top off the evening. And all of us wish you sweet dreams tonight.

Oh, dear Mimi, I missed your year check-up! I've been very busy at work and I try to be disciplined and not come here during work hours (I was there 'til midnight last night!). But it is so good to hear about your happy news and salon day! And after tomorrow, it's the WEEKEND.

We have snow here and ALL anyone in my family can think about is skiing. xoxoxoxo Lynn

Mimi
I also missed the waiting for the mammo. Don't you wait those stupid gowns. I would rather just go in, whip off my top and bra and go for it.
I am so happy that all was good. Big sign of relief. Topping it off with a nice lunch and a trip to the salon and then a nice dinner was just perfect and very you. I agree that you deserve to end the day with ice cream. Tomorrow you can go back to the healthy you. Oops, I just realized it is almost 2 am in your neck of the woods so you are probably in dream land.
Again so happy it was all good.
And Jeanne, I just know that we will be hearing that you are good to go also.
My prayers are that we end 2009 with good news all around. That is my Christmas wish.
Love to all,
Stef

Question? are you gals also getting breast MRI's my friends are starting to say that along with mammo they get an MRI my friend who is 18 years out gets mammo then 6 months later an MRI. My other friend with a famiy history gets one every other year. i wonder what your docs are saying? Not that i like sugesting another anxiety produceing test, in fact I feel bad about it, but I didnt know my cancer was not usually picked up on mammo and I would have insisted on one. I felt like an idiot for not being more on top of it, and mad at my docs. They all said its not standard but I wonder if it should be.
Mimi so glad for your news, My daughter is DC and when you talk about the area i think of her too.

I am so very happy for you!!! I wish I seen this post yesterday, but as scheduled I was at my 5 1/2 TCH treatment.

Your posts give me strength and encouragement.

Waiting to see what you have lined up this week-end!

Keep us posted.

Yes, I get MRIs, too. I have my yearly one coming up in May 2010. People with very dense breasts and those that are on the younger side should get follow-up MRIs because, as you say, a lump can be missed on the mammogram. They are being extra careful with me, for which I am grateful.

Mimi

I too get anxious before my scans~it seems to be the nature of the beast. Next time I will celebrate with a Mojito~like you do~cuz I love em' too!! (mojito's not scans, tho both can be classified as necessary) :)

The center that did my initial mammogram and biopsy talked to me about this also. Since my breast tissue is dense, they recommended alternating MRI's with mammograms every 6 months so that I would have each every year.
