Hello roomies, To all of those who kept me sane and in your prayers this past week. THANK YOU! My A and I met with the doctor. Turns out I've known her for years becuase she's in the store all the time. Everything is fine. While she wants to check the mass out, she is not overly concerned. It's probably nothing. It's tiny, not oddly shaped, etc. She is even very comfortable with me getting through the holidays without having the biopsy done, as I am not high risk. She is one of those "take no prisoners with your life" doctors. She's a straight shooter. We all got along great. The 4 of us (her nurse, my A and the 2 of us) were actually laughing! When was the last time that happened in a surgeon's office? She told me that she's done this procedure so many times that she can do it with her eyes closed! My A and I at the same time told her that we'd prefer if she didn't do it with her eyes closed! I can't tell you how important it is to have a good rapport with your doctor. My A was the best through all of this. He asked questions, kept me level headed and was absolutely loving and supportive. He's off and running to his meetings, etc. I am so proud of him. He completely rearranged his schedule so that he could be here for me. What a good guy I have. Lucky me. I love him dearly. I'm going to take a few days off from this. I'll talk to my sister and tell her what's going on. She can help me wade through all the insurance questions, as she works for my carrier. It'll also be a good way to bring up the fact that she's never had a mamogram and is in a high risk category. Maybe this is what my HP intended for me to do. Scare me a little so that I could help her. Who knows? Knowing me I'll probably want to get this over and done with. As for the rest of today, I'm going to curl up with a good book, a cup of tea, and my kitty. I might even take a nap. Thanks again to all of you for your kind words and prayers. It has touched me more than you know. Love, strength and peace to all of you. Live strong, Karilynn P.S. Go get those mamograms if you haven't already!

Glad to hear the positive!!  Take it easy--you deserve it!  I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

I missed the original time ya spoke about this. please forgive me! these specialists have felt and have seen so much. they do have so much experience. they can tell things. I know it is still scarey, that is super normal. myself i could not wait and would get a biopsy asap. that is just me. much love and strength,debilyn

HI Karilynn I didn't read the original post but I gather you have had a lump in your breast. I have been there and fortunately mine was benign.  I understand the emotions you have been through.  Your whole life starts to flash before you. Fantastic that your A has been a rock for you.  Hugs from Australia.  Luv Leo x
