    Liz1985  I had a mastectomy not a lumpectomy so it might be something different.  I had injections beforehand with the dye that goes to the lymph nodes so they could find them to remove some to be  sure nothing was there.   I don't think it was that painful, but I have a fare tolerance for pain.

    Biopsy results are in-- Benign! So relieved. Sorry for the late post, the last few weeks have been exhausting and as we all know, a lot of sleepless nights. So I finally got some much needed rest and time to relax and breathe. I will continue to follow the post and extend all my positive thoughts and energy to those who need it! xoxo

    Im having the same thing done on Friday. I have thought a little about my situation and I have decided to use the entire experience, cancer or not, as the opportunity to build character. I never considered myself invincible and I never thought bad things wouldn't happen to me so I don't ask "why me". I have too many positive things in my life to worry about possibilities of things I cannot control. Another thing I have considered is that if it is cancer and I die, dying young isn't such a bad thing because at this point in my life I have a pretty Interesting legacy to leave behind. Most super old people are lonely and tired and ready to go and I'm not sure I want to be ninety five years old with a worn out body anyway. I believe I have made a small difference in people's lives and in the betterment of the planet, at least that which is of importance to me. I sincerely hope this does not sound callous or like I am being overly judgemental of people who have a deep seated fear, we all deal with things differently, but this is how I am dealing with the possibilities. I'm busy, there's people who need me, my animals need me, and I have purpose. There's no time for this crap to stand in my way unless I am too physically ill to move. I have no interest in letting this control my days and I will continue on my path until I can do so no longer. We all return to the Earth at some point. No one is getting out of here alive. Ack I think this may sound rough to some of you, but it is truth, and this is how I am handling my own similar situation.

    Try to get out and enjoy nature. It's exceedingly therapeutic to spend time outdoors and you will be surrounded by life. Life will be all around you.

    Jia, I beg to differ. My Mom was 97 when she passed. Up until the last three weeks of her life, she was active and very much invested in living. I've had several relatives who lived quite happily and busily into their 90s (and one into her hundreds). Having an ageist attitude is hardly included in "doing things for the betterment of the planet."
