hopping mad

momand2kids

dear all,

I posted last night about my mammogram and onc visit yesterday-they found a .5mm calcfication sort of under my arm, not in lymph nodes-still in breast tissue... radiologist said he did not think it was cancer, but wanted me to have an excisional biopsy--- because it was too far back for them to biopsy it.

So now< I have to start the whole process-gathering films, getting in to see the surgeon--- this will take weeks and I am already tired..... I know this is why we are screened more closely and I am hoping it is nothing,

But I think, lumpectomy, chemo, rads, damn hormonals--I had done it all and with a smile on my face..and now I am just pissed off..... I know that there is a good chance it is nothing, but the weeks of stress and strain are already too much for me and we are at day 1.  

 any words of wisdom or hope would be greatly appreciated

I know right now you feel totaly overwhelmed with having to start all over again with the whole process, but, when you get good results at the end, you will breathe the biggest sigh of relief.  The BC road is definately a roller coaster and you have just hit another hump but you are stronger now than you were before and you know the road well so take a deep relaxing breath and put one foot infront of the other and then another and then another.  Before you know it it will be over and you can get back to everything you hold dear.

Peace, strength, love n hugs.   chrissyb

I am in the same boat as you are BUT only 7 months post chemo/rads and still on herceptin. Had a mammo the week before last and they found something in my other breast. They can't see it on ultrasound. Then they ordered an MRI last Friday - that found 2 spots - probably benign on the report BUT they want to do a biopsy. I saw my surgeon and she agrees. Now I'm waiting for them to find a time when they can do it - maybe on Monday. I refused the day of the MRI as I'd been stuck there for 5 hours and couldn't stand it any more. Now I'm sorry I just didn't let them do it there and then. Waiting is driving me crazy and then there will be the wait for the results.

I hope for both of us the result will be benign!!!

OK

here is the update--I brought all of my films, etc to the surgeon--- they scheduled me for an appt on Friday--- thinking is that they will do a needle loc biopsy----- I trust my surgeon with my life..... so I will do whatever she says...... but I see an MRI in my future---- 

I am so glad that the wait will be short-I cannot stand the waiting.  I did read the ultrasound report--intermediate suspicious--- so not high, not low...... story of my life.

will keep you posted.... sue---benign PLEASE!!!!! for you and me... let's stay in touch
