From high to low...

Yesterday post my picture... I'm feeling good about things and myself... yadda yadda yadda Then today rolls arouns and... my mammogram this morning didn't go so well. The fact that they scheduled me for a biopsy TOMORROW during their lunch hour is good on one hand as it gets it over with soon but tells me they are highly concerned. Apparently there are two areas of interest which also isn't the best of news. I just turned 46 so I'm young but with a sister that was diagnosed earlier this year at age 48 (who had mammograms every 6 months for the year and a half before that as they were "watching" something)... close age to perhaps when hers appeared. Happy, happy, joy, joy. I'll know the results on Tuesday, I believe. On the bright side, perhaps perky breasts are in my future. Whoda thunk that! LOL! Cannot have the reconstruction my sis had (she had both removed) since I don't have much extra fat in my abdomen. Bummer. LOL! I'm doing well with this, honest. Take care all, Kathy

Maybe you can get your perky breasts and I can get my tt (due to this annoying not-healed incision.) Seriously, good luck with this. I had a breast biopsy way back when I was 40. The doctor said we could watch it, and I said NO WAY, NO WATCHING. Keep us posted, Lois

Hey, Lois, Thanks!! The only reason my sis found out she had cancer was because she said she wanted a biopsy. She was tired of "watching" whatever they were watching and going back for mammograms every 6 months. They were watching it for 18 months and were going to go another 6. Lucky she pushed. I assume I'm getting more scrutiny with her history in my pocket. I'd rather get my perky breasts from hitting lotto but... LOL. I hope your incision improves soon! Kathy

Good luck Kathy...You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Christine

Kathy, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Even though it will not mean you get new perky breasts I am praying for it not to be cancer. I had to have a lump removed from my right breast at 34. The doc didn't want to take a chance. It was not cancerous but he said if left alone it could become so. Very glad I had a doc who knew what he was doing. Damn shame that your sisters doctors chose to "watch" it. You have to be very proactive and demand what is best for you. New perky breasts would be great though huh Keep us posted Kathy big prayers coming your way! (((hugs))) Anna

Kathy - I'll be praying for you. Thank heavens you got the mammogram - makes me think I need to schedule the one I've been putting off. I had a lump at 21, benign, but I still vividly remember the feelings. Like my husband always says, "don't borrow trouble!" Please keep us posted... Crystal

Gosh, Kathy, I am so sorry that you are going through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know what you find out. Keep the faith, and you'll come out on top of this (and with perky breasts to boot! )! Hugs, Robin

Kathy - keep me posted...you are in my prayers! Hugs! Jill

Yikes, this morning is full of unsettling posts - I'm so sorry to read about your recent update Kathy. I'm glad they're able to get you in SO QUICK, which cuts down on the time of "not knowing" what's really going on. Positive thoughts, vibes and PRAYERS coming your way! Hugs - Lei

Kathy, You and Rich will be in my thoughts and prayers... I'm sending out positive vibes to you in hopes it will lift you up. Hey, I'm all for perky breasts (much better than lying flat against my ribs as they do now!) but not that way!! Hugs, Tammy
