Prayers on the way from me too!
Prayers that it is nothing, literally!
HUGS
What a horribly worrying time ahead for you, just remember that nine times out of ten they are nothing to be concerned about, i wish you all the best and all fingers and paws crossed you get a clean bill of health, my mother is also a breast cancer survivor, try not to think the worst, and do tell your hubby. HUGS
Dear M&M's Mommy, my kitties and I are sending prayers and hugs to you as you wait to get the results of the mammogram.
Please do tell your husband and your friends and relatives who care about you that this is happening. I'm sure they will give you loads of support and love as you go through this experience. And, wouldn't you help them if any of them was going through something this scary?
As others have told you, most likely this is benign. It is important that it be checked out right away, though (as you are doing). Just in case there is any malignancy, the sooner it is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome.
I hope this news will encourage you a bit, too: I had a breast lump that turned out to be malignant. Fortunately it was caught early, before it had had a chance to spread. I had a mastectomy, and that was all the treatment I needed. (A couple of years later I had breast reconstruction surgery.)
That happened in ***1985***!!!!! I have been cancer-free ever since, and I hope to remain so the rest of my life. I have regular checkups and self-exams and a yearly mammogram. So no, it's not an automatic death sentence.
Have courage, take one step at a time, and no matter what happens, remember this: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Not only the people who know and love you but also others all around the world will give you more support and information and wisdom than you can imagine. I sure found that out! (For example, you've already learned that all us Pet Talkers are pulling for you. :) )
Prayers, good energies, love, hugs, and purrs,
Pat, Peony, Sydney, Poppy, Elmer, and the angels
Oh no hugs and prayers coming your way, i am so sorry hope everything gets better soon.
(((Hugs))) to you in this stressful time. I was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago - after a mastectomy and chemo, I have not had a recurrence. Caught early, there is a good prognosis nowadays.
Do tell your hubby - you will want his support as you go in for tests. My partner was my "rock" - there to support me and to ask the questions that I forgot to ask. Even though I wanted to remain "strong", there was no denying I needed her support. And several years later, I was able to be there for her when she had a suspicious finding on a mammogram and had a benign lump removed.
I hope that your lump turns out to be benign. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
I agree do tell your husband please, i know you feel scare but he is the one that will help you get trough this and be by your side if something does happen. I just believe he has the right to know, imagine how worried he will be. If something does happen i wish you both the best, praying hard for you and sending good vibes.
Hopefully this is nothing to worry about. But DO tell your husband. Isn't that what he's for? And try not to worry.
Just a month ago, my co-worker who is 78 or 79, had her left breast removed because of cancer. She missed a total of 10 days of work. She is getting radiation therapy everyday after work. She's just a little thing but she's doing so well. Early detection is key.
Tell your husband. You cannot and should not do this alone. We are also all here for you to support you however you need it.
I am 42 now, just after I turned 40 I had my first mammogram, it was supposed to be a baseline. As it turned out I had a very large lump of what turned out to be the worst growth you can have just shy of being cancer. It was removed and I am now just fine. It was the worst 3 months of my life. The stress was unbearable. I told everyone at work, cause there were some days when I could have bitten of anyone's head if they'd said the wrong thing. They didn't deserve that and deserved to know why I was so overly sensitive. I also talked alot of women at work into going for their mammograms that they'd been putting off. The support from my family, friends and co-workers gave me the strength to go thru the ordeal.
I pray that your lump turns out to be nothing to worry about.
Thanks for all your supports, good thoughts & prayers. I believe in the power of prayers (of course, I'll do all I can by going to the doctor, seeking treatment if needed, etc..) - but that God is the ultimate healer.
I'm doing okay. I cannot get a mammogram until Jan 02, 08. (The insurance company authorized for me to go to this particular Imaging center for the test, and it's completely booked up until then). I was able to schedule for the breast ultrasound tomorrow though - so I'm preparing myself for that. I guess I hope and I pray that it'll turn out to be nothing - but I still prepare myself for the worst, so that I won't be totally surprised, should it happens. Then based on the result from the ultrasound, they'll decide if they'll need to move my mammogram schedule to an ealier date or not.
There were times I was consumed with bad thoughts & bad feelings, but most of the times I'm fine and just go about my normal life like usual.
I still need to figure out the way to tell my husband so that it doesn't shock him and bring too much sadness & worries to him. Last year, his mom also found a lump in her breast, which turned out to be maglinant, so to my husband, a lump means cancer. My husband knew that I went to see the doctor, and that he ordered a mammogram & ultrasound - but he thoughts those are routine preventative tests that I'll need to take yearly starting now (I just turned 35!). He didn't know about the lump :( I did try to hint to him, but he didn't take it too well so I stopped. I guess I'll tell him tomorrow, after the ultrasound. He's taking times off from work to go with me, for moral support - so it's all good.
Christmas & our wedding anniversary (Dec 29th) are approaching. It's time for happiness & joy. I'd hate to give anyone I love reasons to be sad & worries, specially at this time.
Once again, I really am appreciate your prayers. In times like this, my faith in God sustains me, and your good thoughts & prayers provide me the much needed support, both mentally & physically.
Thank you!
Theresa
I certainly will!
{{{hugs}}}
I am sorry that such a nice time of year for you has to be ruined, but please don't let this hurt your happiness. It may just be a lump. Good luck!
Amen to those words! God is the ultimate healer!! " In times like these my faith in God sustains me"...that is sooo true too!! I am so happy to hear that your faith in God is giving you peace and comfort. You sound very strong and I am just so happy to read these great words. I am a Christian and feel exactly like you do! I have gone thru a similar situation and God was my strength, and I am able to praise Him for staying by me faithfully, as He will with you too. I have been praying off and on for you after I read this post, and I hope things have gone well. I will continue to pray for you. (((HUGS))) during these uncertain times. At least we know that the same God that holds your hand thru this, holds the future and we can rest in knowing that He is in control.Quote:
