Indeed Prayers for all that need!

OK campers. Buckle your seat belts, I need you all.

My recall-recall mamo this morning indicates a "proliferation" (their term) in it's structure and organization since the last one 6 months ago. THUD.

Blessings:

1. My breast surgeon worked me into his afternoon rotation, a mere 6 hours after the mamo was read and the three of us had a heart-to-heart (including my DH).

2. A team of four people are willing to sacrifice sleeping in tomorrow on their NewYear'sEve morning-off to come in early and do a biopsy for me. We will meet @ 7:30 to get underway.

They are doing this out of the goodness of their collective hearts -- so that I can get on with my life just as soon as possible. They said they would want to move things quickly if it were any one of them.

The area in question now covers a 3 cm area and is defined in a linear manner. (There is no palapable mass.) It's not that the area of suspicion is solid for 3 cm, but that it covers that space linear. Hopefully that makes sense.

We expect that it will take till Mon or Tues of next week to get the path back.

I have indeed told both daughters & my actual sister. (LOL...... I think of all of you as my sisters.)

Since I had radiation & have been on Tamoxofin since my initial surgery, my risk was somewhere between 2 and 5% for a return scenerio. It is premature to suggest tonight that I am one of those 2 to 5 women, but somewhere in a hundred there are 2 to 5 with my situation who ultimately get that news. We will see how the math works out.

My DD1/Sarah, put up an initial post on FB that was very dour -- so she's obviously having a harder time that she expressed to me directly this morning. She has too much on her plate.... so I think she heard a meager amount of what I actually said. We asked her to take it down, until we have all the news back -- and she has..... but now my neice & nephew (from diff families) are in on the 'breaking news' FB style. Gee whiz.

I spoke to Saint at several points today. She is having a much better couple of days. We told each other that we need each other & agreed to keep our heads on straight for one another. We laughed about a number of things. We each thought of an amazing example of how our two DHs have been truly dear in the last 24 hours. We laughed and we cried.

I am very grateful for any & all prayers..... I especially ask for those that give me a sense of calm. Saint has taught me a lot about acceptance over the past several months.... so prayers for acceptance are also in order.

Least you confuse yourselves that I am the saint, I'll have you know that I'm as angry as humanly possible to be poised back at square one and this soon. It messes up my happy little calendar for the coming year, BIG time. The thought of not picking up my grandpeeps is enough to make me ill..... but we all do what we must do, because in the end -- that is our one choice.

I will put on my big girl panties and deal.

3. on the blessing list is that I am older & wiser this trip AND I have all of you.
