Well, I Find Out By Late Afternoon/Early Evening If I Have Cancer Or Not
I'm at school right now, TRYING to get through this day. I've only been here two days this week because of testing and everything. Had a biopsy yesterday, and I should know what's up soon,but it's maddening. I posted about this earlier. I let you know then. In the meantime, it's lunch, and I just felt like doing this. Thanks for letting me:)

3. The waiting is the hardest part.
I'm thinking of you. Hang in there. And remember, no matter what happens, it's good to know what you're dealing with.

14. Hang in there, Dinger!
This is the worst part - the waiting. You're just kind of in limbo, not knowing whether you can feel relieved or frightened. It's so hard.

Good thoughts and vibes headed your way - :hug:

17. Just Talked To The Doctor - Good News!
Edited on Fri Jan-06-06 05:42 PM by Dinger
The lumps are not cancerous or pre-cancerous. Likely I have had them for a while. Apparently women my age who have not reached menopause and have been on the pill have these things. I go back in 5 months for a post-procedure mammo and Ultrasound.

THANKS AND LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29. Well, dammit, I don't know you, but nobody should have to go
through that kind of anxiety...if good thoughts and best wishes from a stranger will help, you have mine.
