It's gonna be a very long weekend :(

GRRRRR!!!!
Well I suggest you cry then put it aside as best as you can. Keep yourself busy, watch a few funny movies, nothing too serious, read a good book, go out to dinner, go to places that bring you joy in an attempt to push that gloom aside. I will be praying that this is just a false alarm and that you are A-OK. Keep your chin up and vent when you need too, we are here for you no matter what!

Hugs,

OH Renee,
I am just reading your posts. Go ahead and have a good cry, it might make you feel better. Sorry to hear this. I wished there was something I could do for you, or wished that I was closer so that I could give you a big hug and we could cry together. Love you!

Oh, Renee
That nurse should have said nothing! You would still worry but her comments made it worse. Remember she is not the doctor. I once was told by a nurse that my cholesterol was high but it was because my good cholesterol was high. My bad was low. I'll be sending you hugs all week end.

Roseann

So sorry
Oh, Renee, that was awful for the nurse to say that. I really am feeling so badly that you have to go through the uncertainty for the entire weekend. Sending prayers and hugs your way.
Hugs, Linda

hopefully you can do something fun to get away from the worry for a while. I guess I am a little different than the others as I would have wanted to know what the results of the scan whether or not the doctor was there and if he is going to do a biopsy the chances of having one today or tomorrow would have been slim to none with the holiday. It sounds like the nurse just read the report to you. I get the reports on line now from my tests and then have to wait until he is in to talk to him anyways. But before I got them online I was a mess waiting for the results of the scan. There there is no ideal way for any of this.

Now by the time I talk to him, the shock of the report has worn off and I am able to hear what he has to say more clearly.

Remember it is not cancer until the biopsy says so! My best to you, have a good cry and then try to do something fun.

Hugs and prayers Renee,
Carol

Could
Renee,

Please remember the key word is "could", it is not definite. Stay positive. They will have to set up an appointment for a biopsy so it will probably be at least another week before you can get real results. Please try to enjoy the New Year and remember we are here for you. I know waiting is hell, been there done that. Medicine takes time that is one thing I have learned. From the first appointment, to the test dates, to the results dates, it can be one long haul. We are here for you whatever the outcome. Have a drink on New Years Eve and celebrate life.

Terry

waiting
Very sorry to hear you are in the waiting holding pattern! Thoughts and prayers are with you !

If I didn't like someone
that's what I would do to them -- tell them something scary MIGHT be happening then tell them oh, you have to wait to find out for sure. Actually, no I wouldn't. It's too awful and I'm not that mean.

I'm so very sorry you have to live with these thoughts in your head. You will do the best you can to lurch through the weekend and it will be very hard, I know. I send you my best wishes and a little bottle of patience.

Oh no!
This is non-news of the scarey kind. Wish you could at least know what the next step in getting to the bottom of this will be. I'm afraid you won't hear until Tuesday. Monday is a holiday in most places.

Have tht good cry. It should help - yeh, right, like something will help you right now. I'll send along hugs and prayers that you make it through this holiday weekend (what choice do you have?) without too much distress and that the news on Monday (or Tuesday) is promising.

Hi Renee -- Ok, we understand this is extremely annoying and adds more worry to the situation, but please let's wait and see what happens after the biopsy. There's still a chance it is not c. Although it's super difficult to have peace, until you hear from your Dr., please try to be calmed and think that you will be OK, regardless. We know it's hard to focus and enjoy the New Year weekend with this worry, but you DESERVE the peace and enjoyment. Spend time with family, laugh and think positive, always. I am staying positive for you right now. We will be here for you.

Sending you a huge hug and love your way...and prayers too.

All I have to add is don't
All I have to add is don't let the waiting steal your joy! Put on your GRRRRRR and show 'em what's what...I bet you're better at that than I am. I'll put my GRRRRR on with you!

Hugs,

Linda

I am sorry that your doc just left without any conversation with you. Most likely because they have not figure it out. while waiting and uncertainty is suck, please celebrate life and do not forget that you are going to be Grandmother in 2012!
Year ago in December I was in a lot of pain from Arimidex, I could not even sit on chair for more than 20 min. Bone density test have shown a severe osteoporosis. We changed medications and I am in ongoing treatment of osteoporosis. I do feel better.Tomorrow I am going to see my physical therapist for low back problems. I wish your back problems can be corrected and treated and you will feel better soon.
P.S
Arimidex can stimulate fractures, 10 % patients who take this drug are having them.

Hugs,
New Flower
