in Breast Cancer #1
Went for my first mammogram today since my breast cancer diagnosis. They found an area on my right breast that they didn't like. WTF! The tech said it could be scar tissue from my reduction and "lift" surgeries. So they did an ultrasound. They still aren't sure, so now I have to go for a biopsy tomorrow. I can't do this again. Cried all the way home. Hubby is at a meeting and won't be home until later. I couldn't reach him, so I called my main support friend, Pat. She left work and came right over to give me a hug and to let me cry on her shoulder. Please say a little prayer for me. ♥

xoxo,
Jean

    Fingers, toes, legs, arms, etc. Everything is crossed for this to turn out to be scar tissue. Of course, I'll also say a prayer or two.

    And hugs,

    Happend to Me
    Hi,

    This happened to me last year after my second bout with cancer. I went for my mammogram and they had me come back for more pictures and ultrasound. They decided it was just a lymph node as it was hard to compare films since I had surguries in between. So mine ended up being nothing. I hope yours does too. I'll say a prayer for you.

    O sweet Jean!!! I will be praying for you. I think they are over cautious when we are survivors or have a family member with history. Keeping you in my prayers constantly and will cross all possible limbs!

    Jean, I know our minds like
    Jean, I know our minds like to take us to the dark side everytime something is not normal. I think this is normal for us because we've been there. I am hoping and sending positive vibes for scar tissue being the culprit. (((Hugs))) and love coming your way. We'll be with you in spirit tomorrow, so make sure the room will hold ALL of us.

    We'll all be waiting to hear from you ... so let us know how the biopsy goes.

    Hope!
    Let's hope that they are just erring on the side of caution and that it is nothing but scar tissue. That probably is the case but I know the worry won't end til its over tomorrow. Praying for peace for you!

    Saying prayers & sending
    Saying prayers & sending hugs Jean :) I'll bet it is scar tissue - i'm actually seeing my PS tomorrow because I still have an area of thick, hard scar tissue in my left breast, it's causing my boob to have a flat spot in it & they're not symmetrical, so instead of getting my nipples done tomorrow im consulting him about what we can do to fix that boob before we do my nipples.
    I know it's damn near impossible but try your best to relax & enjoy your weekend my friend.
    xoxo

    I went for my first
    Jean

    I went for my first mammogram after radiation yesterday. I had a 9:30am appointment and didn't get finished until 2:00pm. They did numerous scans on my breast because they saw something they didn't like. Finally, they did a ultrasound. After being so scared and praying so hard they finally told me it is fluid (scar tissue). I have a follow-up with my oncologist next month so I'm going to ask her to do an exam as well. This is very scary but I'm praying that you get good news.

    Jean... so, so sorry!!
    Let's keep thinking positive till proven otherwise. This is something i am
    forcing myself to do. And you CAN do it again, if needed, with our support
    you can. Do it for Isabelle.

    You must be so terrified... I can only imagine.

    Think of the inspiring stories of people who are still around 17 years
    later with stage 4. Please don't get discouraged.

    Hugs,

    I didn't have an ultrasound
    but I had to wait three days after my post treatment mammo Monday morning while the radiologists consulted each other about the "fuzzy" things they saw in there. Was told yesterday it's all okay, but man oh man, that wait is a terrible place to hang out. I'll wait with you:)

    Hi Jean..
    I also had breast reduction and a lift (that is how they found my cancer)... and the doctor/surgeon told me that scar tissue might show up on future mamograms should I go the route of rads and lumpectomy.. ( I had the double mastectomy instead).. so I am hoping that this is all that it is for you... sending you warm thoughts and positive energy...

    I am praying that it is nothing, and, if it has to be something, that it is scar tissue. I am so sorry Jean that this even happened.


    Hugging you from afar,
