Back to the liver
As many of you know, I had a low-grade DCIS with a microinvasion; the lowest grade it could be, the least aggessive markers. The chance of distant recurrence from this is like a half of a percent (but it has to be somebody). Incidentally, in my breast MRI, they saw a few harmless hemangiomas (blood clusters) in my liver, but also saw one TINY nodule they could not identify. So. They think it's probably another harmless hemangioma, but wanted me to have another liver MRI (next week) to be sure. If it's the same, all good. If it has grown, well, not good. I realize it almost certainly will be OK, but, like everyone here who has to have another test, I'm getting scared. Also, because in my white blood count (taken for a pre-op for a nose sanding for an injury) my eosinophils (a white cell thing) were a LITTLE elevated. This can (almost always) be from allergy, and it's been a big pollen season here, but can also, sometimes, be from cancer, so of course I'm not liking it. I'm the only one worried, technically, and I do expect it to be OK, but just needing a little love and support, right now. Like I said, I feel I am cured from this BC episode, and it looks like that, but I hate these life-or-death tests. After this liver MRI, I'll be done, with only the normal fear that comes with future mammos. Please send me good thoughts; I need to get on with my life! - P.

Sending good thoughts and hopes that it is nothing. Once you've had bad news, you'll dread all tests a little more in the future. Try to distract yourself and keep busy. I hope you don't have to wait very long for the test and good results. Hugs.

I love my girlfriends here. Certainly, I cannot and should not worry my kids and parents about something that will almost certainly be fine, but I can tell you. That means everything to me. xx -
Sending you positive thoughts! I am sure everything will be ok!!
-
Have you had your test yet? Sending good thoughts!
-
Thanks. No; it will be a couple of weeks from now. It's a 3-4 mo. follow-up. I'm sure it will be fine; just preparing, mentally. I will be happy to be done with having to do THAT!

I got a bump on my nose from an injury back before my dx; it's being sanded Fri., then a week's recovery. I decided to wait to do the MRI till after that. Too much at once.

percy4- hang in there, my thoughts are with you. Good luck with your sanding and keep us posted.
Take care!
