I just got home from my MRI guided biopsy on the breast that was FINE on the mammogram - and showed a 'undefined' patchy area on the MRI last week.  I am so very sad tonight ... the procedure was long (plus they had me wait over an hour past my 'scheduled' time!) - and it hurt.  I was praying that once they looked today - they would tell me there wasn't anything to biopsy - but no such luck.  It seems every turn keeps bringing more bad news ... and I am getting worn down trying to keep a 'stiff upper lip'!  Now I need to wait until Wednesday before I get the results .. so I can torture myself a bit more over the next 48 hours.  

I am not like this .... never have been.   I don't like to focus on the negative ... but everytime I hope for some good news, it doesn't arrive.  I know I am thankful (?) that my right breast only has the DCIS ...and nothing more.  However, I am totally freaked over this left breast and the anxiety it is bringing me.  

So sorry to be rambling .... I need to get this out .... hopefully - tomorrow will be a better day.

    It can seem like you're on a streak of bad luck sometimes. Long days waiting in medical offices don't help.

    I hope you get some rest, a decent dinner, and have something distracting to do tomorrow while you wait. Waiting is the hardest part.

    Hang in there!  The waiting is the worst part.  But try to remember that even though it doesn't feel that way having had the odds go against you once when the DCIS was found, there are a lot of false positives with MRIs so there is a good chance this will turn out to be nothing.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
