I had my breast biopsy done on Wednesday morning. Both the radiologist and nurse said they saw no reason not to go ahead with my RNY surgery on Monday, no matter the outcome. They even said that breast cancer would be easier to battle for someone of average size vs. obese. We're still hoping for the results by tomorrow afternoon, but I'm still planning to go ahead with the RNY on Monday!  What are your thoughts?

I'm so glad to hear from both of you. I don't know if I'm exactly in your boat, yet, but I'm going through the same situation as the second person. I had a mammogram for the surgery, and now they are having to do a biopsy this Wednesday Morning. My surgery was scheduled for 5 days later. I just found out Friday, so I'm not really freaking , per se, but really concerned...and anxious. I'm going to see if I can re-schedule my surgery for the 14th, that way if the test results come back negative, I can go ahead with the surgery, and if it comes back positive, I guess I just cancel it?  But, I'm overweight, and I thought that you had a better chance of beating cancer if you were within 'acceptable' weight guidelines?  I'm not asking you, I guess I'm just thinking out loud.  Thanks for all your friendship.

i think you should prefer ayurvedic  treatment.......i met with similar type of problems,then i went to ayurvedic doctor ,he gave me solution.

I just finished 6 rounds of CHEMO after having Non Hodgkin's Lymphome, Stage IV. The cancer was in my spleen, removed it in Feb. 11, the cancer also was in my bone marrow. After my Gastric -by-pass surgery (June, 2010), the Dr. told my family that my spleen was enlarge, but a lot of obese patients had en larged spleens. So we never gave it a thought.  Until Feb. 2011, and I received the bad news that I had cancer.  A PET SCAN and a BONE MARROW BIOPSY showed CLEAR of cancer. I will have many scans and blood work over the next several years. 
This wasy we can keep ahead of the caner.  Any that is told they have an en-large spleen needs to look into it. If we had, the cancer might not have gotten into my bone marrow.
