    Sending all kinds of
    Sending all kinds of positive vibes your way and send a prayer that all will be fine and you will get that great sigh of relief we all wish we could've had the FIRST time around. I wanted to have a double mastectomy but the surgeon talked me out of it. He said there was only a 2% chance I could get it in the 2nd with it not being hereditary. I guess a 2% chance is a chance in and of itself. But heck, there are women that get a recurrence even with a mastectomy, so I guess there's just no sure guard against it. I truly hope you don't have to have a repeat because no one wants to go through it the first time, never mind a 2nd! Please post & let us know the results as soon as you can!

    With lots of hugs ~ Mar

    You're right Marlene, there
    You're right Marlene, there is just no ryhme or reason to it. Whatever happens, I don't want to have to deal w/chemo again. No way. Thank you for your kind thoughts!

    Prayers and Hugs
    Dear Eileen,

    I hope everything ends up okay. It's like that old Tom Petty song, "The Waiting is the Hardest Part." I hate waiting for results. I'm glad he got to do the biopsy right then and there. At least things are moving quickly . . . I'm praying that they're moving right to the Big O.K.!!

    I taught in a Quaker school for a long time. The Quakers have this "thing." When someone is going through a tough time, they "hold you in the light." It's a lovely image, I think . . . your friends holding you up to the a place where there is light and peace.

    I'm holding you in the light.

    Hugs,
    Linda

    Linda I love the light!!1

    Damn it.
    So sorry this is happening, but chances are that it is benign. Doesn't help with the waiting and worrying though. Sending you lots of good thoughts. I'll be thinking about you this weekend.

    Thank you Mimi, you r right,
    Thank you Mimi, you r right, most likely it hould be benign. The whole biopsy thing is so stressful and painful.

    Eileen, I'm so sorry that

    Eileen, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. The waiting is the worst. I wanted to encourage you that I have had several mammograms where they found suspicious areas and did further testing and everything was fine. Especially having been treated for breast cancer, the doctors do want to be extra careful whenever they find anything that they may consider out of the ordinary.

    I'm praying that you'll receive good news on Monday.

    Joyce

    Joyce thank you so much for
    Joyce thank you so much for sharing about your mammos. That really makes me feel better. All this time I keep thinking; if the doc did the biopsy then she must think its something. But you are right, with my history, I'm sure they want to be extra careful.

    Keeping in my thoughts and Prayers!
    Eileen, here is a little prayer I thought you may like to have. You will be in my prayers!


    Circle me, Lord.
    Keep protection near
    And danger afar.

    Circle me, Lord
    Keep hope within.
    Keep doubt without.

    Circle me, Lord.
    Keep light near
    And darkness afar.

    Circle me, Lord.
    Keep peace within.
    Keep evil out.

    By: David Adam

    I read the title of your post with a heavy heart. All of us here fear that visit. The one where we leave the doctor's office needing more tests, having to endure more waiting and the awful anxiety of the unknown.

    I am glad, at least, that all the testing could be done at once and that you will get the results soon. The image of holding you in the light resonates in me. I am holding you in that light, Eileen.

    Positive prayers are beaming
    Positive prayers are beaming your way. I know that nothing will keep you from worrying about this, but try to let it go. If it isn't a cancer you will have wasted all that worry for nothing and if (and I hope it isn't) it is cancer days of worrying right now won't change that one bit. Go out to dinner with that good looking fellow of yours and see a movie, or do some shopping and try to find some peace. We will be here for you no matter what it is.

    Eileen....
    So sorry to hear this. I will keep you in my prayers. I know you were having a hard time dealing with all this BC stuff three years out and now this. I'm sure I don't have any words that can truly comfort you right now, so I will just ask the Lord to do that for me. You know we are always just a click away and give the biggest cyber hugs out there! Hugs and smiles, Pammy
