Well, I went back on Monday for that dreaded second mammogram. Then they said I had to have an ultra-sound done on it. Then they scheduled me to come in on Tuesday for a needle biopsy

My mother died from breast cancer, and my sister was diagnosed 6 months ago, my grandmother had it also. I had 2 lumps removed from the right side about 8-9 years ago. They were both benign. Can I hope to get lucky again? The report on the lumps did show that I was a high risk for breast cancer, and with my family history, go figure!

I was really nervous and anxious about the biopsy. My sister said hers really hurt bad. I remember her complaining afterwards and then she, of course, reminded me again Monday when I called to tell her I had to have one too. I was so very happy with the DR that did mine. He was fantastic. I’ve had two other people that could stick me with a needle and hardly even know it. He makes the third! I barely felt any discomfort with the shot for numbing, and you know that is a very sensitive area, lots of nerve endings!!!

The whole procedure was very little discomfort, and only a prick or two of actual pain. Now if we can just get that good of results back, I’ll be set! So, if you wouldn’t mind holding me in your thoughts and prayers for the next several days, I would surely appreciate it. I’m pretty scared with my family history, but not all lumps are cancer, right?

Thanks for reading and giving me a place to come to. As I sit here in the dark (finally got out of bed a while ago) I don’t even feel alone. I know that God is watching over me, and I’ll have lots of friends to talk to over the next few days.

Hugs! Sherry
