Benign, they called and told me it is benign. Wow, I really am just taking that in. Because as much as you tell yourself that it will be fine, only 4% chance and all that, in the dark corners of your mind the thought is there what if? Now it is answered

I'm so very glad everything worked out. It's only human that in the little hiddy places of your head you still worry. It's nice to know it was for no reason.

Hey hun. I haven't liked to comment before, because I didn't want to go the route of offering hope and confidence, if it wasn't warrented. I won't do that. I did that with my mum. Lied and said everything would be fine. We'd just keep fighting. She died 5 years ago from metastatic breast cancer, so I won't offer hope until I have something concrete to go on.
BUT ...this is awesome! So pleased everything's going fine for you! *twirls**
Oh...and I still have to catch up with your fic...soo very sorry, life has been nuts, and now BigBang...but that's no excuse, because you've been in fear for your life...and no, I'm not being dramatic, believe me, I know how it goes. I will try to catch up on things this weekend.
Just to let you know, if you habe any future concerns and want to talk...honest, no holds barred, what happens if...? I'm here. Been there, done that. So I can send you my email if you need it.
Again, sooo pleased hun.

Hey, I am so sorry about your Mum. Mine had breast cancer when I was 16. She is still alive. She had a radical mastectomy - in case terms are different, she had her entire breast and maybe some muscle along with all the lymph nodes under her arm all removed. She did not have chemo. It was caught by chance. I had one breast biopsy when I was 23/24 and another one a year later on the other breast. Those were operations and not a simple needle deal. The doctors thought it was the C word, even talked about how we would rebuild my breast. I had mamograms every year or less until work stopped and we could not afford it. My husband has been thru it all, the first biopsies, the rushed hystrectomy because of finding a tumor (benign) and now the 3 mos. of testing and more tests this time

hey. PM me your email address...I'm trying to write BigBang right now, so I'm about...it'll be a crazy weird fantasy thingy :).
mum shouldn't have died either. she had stage 2, a mastectomy (two weeks after a lumpectomy) and axillary clearance (I'm a radiographer...I know a few things). But it spread and she'd had chemo and radiotherapy and been given the all clear. It was back in 5 months. They'd been completely wrong about just how agressive her cancer was.
I dont get tested. I don't trust them. I figure if I die, I die. I don't have kids, so no one will miss me, lol, but I really don't trust them after my mum...Especially since our Trust was highlighted because of a radiologist who'd misread a couple of hundred mammogramms.
I'm kind of fatalistic, but will fight for anyone's right to live! I'll pm you my email address, so if you need to talk...go ahead.
