Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 :grouphug: It is scary, isn't it. I had a benign tumor removed almost 16 years ago with nothing else since! I will pray for you. I know how that feels to be worried about that. :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I had "something" removed from my breast about 8 years ago.

Krista in LA Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's been nearly 2 years since I had my biopsy. Happily, it was benign. Do you know what type you are having? The one I had was with the rubicore - just had a local and it literally only took about 10 minutes. Recovery time was pretty quick without any real pain. Remember, most biopsies are benign. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunflower Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 They did not do the biopsy yesterday. She was running 2 1/2 hours behind schedule. But on review of my films, she saw not 1 but 2 spots and also felt an enlarged lymph node under my arm. She said she is pretty sure we are looking at cancer even without the biopsy. But then went on to say "we won't worry until after the biopsy" Well, after her saying it's probably cancer I am a little worried. Crazy woman!! So they are supposed to call today to get everything set up. Sorry I did't update last night. By the time we got home from KC I was just exhausted and pretty much went straight to my room to do some "fetal position therapy" (term my sister uses for just not being able to deal with anything and pulling the covers over your head). Thank you all so much for the prayers and good thoughts. Keep them coming, it looks like I am going to need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Oh dear, I am so sorry! How awful to have to continue to wait with something like this. And then what the dr said about not worrying!

Crazy woman!! Crazy woman indeed! There is no possible way for you to not worry now---if you were able to not worry before. So in view of that, let me tell you the one thing that helped my mom through breast cancer. (she is almost 5 years past diagnosis and doing great). Her oncologist said, 'This treatment period is just something you have to get through in order to get back to your regular life.' And that is how she tried to view it....she is not all PollyAnna, but she is just practical in the sense of 'do what you can, and try to put the rest of it out of your mind.' I also believe in positive attitude helping the body to heal. :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie4b Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Wow. What inappropriate bedside manner. Keep in mind that doctors can be wrong. I've seen it happen multiple times. One recent example: Had a friend with a benign tumor removed from the brain. Follow up scans after a few months showed additional "spots," that the docs were almost sure were cancer. They weren't.

Doran Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sometimes I wish I could install an edit button on all human beings, including myself, so that when the stoopid button gets pushed, there would be a way to rewind the moment and take it all back. Ick! I just hate what you're having to endure now, and I know you must be worried sick. Please go easy on your spirit in the coming days. Do things that take your mind off the anxiety -- goofy movies, ice cream, fun music, picnics -- and know that the prayers and good wishes are still coming your way.

I will be praying the biopsy turns up nothing. I'd say try not to worry, but that would be stupid. When I'm worried, I find making lists - lots and lots of lists to be helpful.
