I will never forget the moment I found my lump. I felt it, and everything froze. My fingers went straight back to it. And again. And again. I couldn't believe it. It wasn't possible. I was barely 30. I had my lover feel (She's an RN). I watched her face. I knew the moment she realized it wasn't just fiberous tissue or a fatty tumor. I watched the wrinkles form above her brow. And I cried. I knew I needed a mammogram. And I put it off. And off. And off. I kept going back to that damned lump tho. And yet, I put it off. My friends, my family, my wife, encouraged me to get myself to the doctor, and quick. And yet, it was MY journey, my lump, my body, my breasts, and MY TIME. I was so freaking scared. I was petrified. I cried so much. Finally, four months later, I made myself get a mammogram. And, I am one of the lucky ones. The point of this, I hope, is that you will take away some hope! My lump is just a lump. Nothing bad living inside it. I am due for another mammogram in a couple of months, and we will make sure I am still fine. But, I will go into this one with hope!!! Take that with you when you go for your biopsy. Go in with hope instead of dread, carry it with you like a sheild. Good luck, Sweetheart. I wish you nothing but positive experiences!!! May you be quickly seen, and quickly relieved of your worry!! My PMs are always open if you need to chat! *Hugs* Lis |

This is the video of the test I will be having Thursday morning. It is not for the faint of heart to see this. Until yesterday I had never even heard of this diagnostic test for calcifications in the breast. Turns out this test has been around since the 1990s. I feel more comfortable about it after seeing this video. I am even happier that Emory University is doing the test. Heres the link on YouTube:

thought i'd pop in and let everyione know Jo went in to get results from her follow up mammo and all is well...i went in after her to get results and seems they found a mass on both breasts so i gotta go thurs for another mammogram...not too worried tho bc i know things start to form after awhile that arent dangerous...of course i have 3 weeks to wait AFTER i do the test tho for results....luckily i am the type that gets sidetracked easily so i wont be driving myself or my sweetie insane in those 3 weeks..
Kat....Jo and i will be sending good energy your way on thursday...good luck! ![]() |

Okay back at home now. The radiologist and technician at Emory University Hospital were awesome!!!!!! They knew exactly what they were doing and had humor too. It was not comfortable; it lasted 45 min and I am in a bit of pain. Thanks for Vicodin! They were not able to get all the lesion but did successfully get five core specimens and place a titanium marker. Now we wait till Tuesday or Wed for the results. I am glad it is over!

![]() Are you going to take a mild sedative? a little Xanax? Valium? even a Benadryl would be a little relaxation to just take the edge off of nerves etc. The more relaxed, the easier it will be for you! (((((Kats))))) |
