Wow, you are all so terrific. I can honestly say that I’m doing very well with the worry department. Much better than I expected. Maybe it’s do to knowing I have so many people praying for me? And hearing from so many others that have or know someone that has been thru it helps too.

I did find the closest Gilda’s Club is only 2 hours away in Grand Rapids, nearly straight north of me. And good highways to there, so if I need it, it won’t be too bad to go there.

Les, that’s a good thought from your wife about the more false positives, but it absolutely is a lump, I was able to feel it, once they showed me where it was. I have a lot of fibrous tissue in my breasts so I’ve never been able to be sure if I was feeling lumps or just fibroids, which is what they removed from the other side. But this one is obvious now that I know where it is.

I appreciate everybody’s notes and posts. It just makes you feel good to come back and see more people have stopped by. I’m glad I posted. You are all so very good. I’m actually less afraid than I was before I got my mammogram. I guess the total not knowing was scaring me worse than it is now. I’d tried to get ahold of someone from the Cancer society, as I’m over 50 and they say that they will get you a mammogram when you don’t have any money,but no one ever called me back. I left several msgs, and then finally just gave up. But now with this state insurance I was able to just have the DR send me for it and it’s covered! Insurance is such a nice thing to have
