Glad, I'm soooo very sorry to learn about the diagnoses.     Give yourself plenty of time to make your decision on which choice to take; the daily radiation sounds like a real challenge.  

Do you have anyone in your circle of friendship or family to help you?   Do you have a Gilda's Club locally for strength and friendship among people in similar situations?

Glad, so sorry for your news. I know with my relief over my good news comes sadness for others with not so good news. The day I was waiting at the hospital for my ultrasound, etc I was watching several other women there going to the front desk and booking their biopsies. Yesterday I found myself thinking about them and wondering how their story went.

You will be fine Glad and I will pray for your good health.

Glad,

I am so sorry that you are in this situation. I understand that you value your privacy. My husband felt the same way when he was diagnosed with his prostate cancer. It took him awhile before he could speak about it to others. His mom wasn’t a hypochondriac. His grandmother was though and caused a lot of stress for herself and the family.

You bring up an important issue regarding location. People in rural areas have a much larger challenge than those who live in a more populated community. I can tell that you love your area and I adore reading your posts about your garden. It sounds absolutely lovely! I admire your dedication.

You remind me of my grandfather who had a green thumb and gardening was his passion! My fondest memories of him was helping him in his garden. He grew the most beautiful roses! Grandma always had beautiful flowers on her kitchen table.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Glad, sending support your way. Good that you're making an informed decision after considering the various options. My mother opted for a mastectomy, over 10 years ago. It was a success and she has been in remission since then.
Llama, sorry to hear about your cousin - offering prayers and best wishes.

Gershun, great news.

It is very hard for me to share any information about my health because my mom as a hypochondriac. Everyone always knew when my mom had medical issues. I HATED that.

I have been going through the same thing. Biopsy in April, found LCIS, Lumpectomy in May, found DCIS. Have two options, another lumpectomy to hope for a clean margin, followed by six weeks of daily radiation. Or mastectomy. I am leaning towards the later, followed by reconstruction. Rural areas are not great for finding this sort of care. Closest I could get radiation is 60-65 miles away, and daily, I don't think so.

Next appointment July 6 for surgical planning.

Hello all. Could I please request prayer for my dear cousin, who underwent a bilateral mastectomy on Monday? She is hoping that her lymph nodes are cancer free. Thank you so much.

Gershun,

I am so very happy for you!!!

I remember having a biopsy done many years ago that turned out to be benign also. It’s so nerve racking waiting for the results to come in. I was extremely happy to hear my news. I was 40, with two young daughters at home. That’s all I could think about, leaving my sweet husband and daughters.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my good news with you all. I received my breast biopsy results today and it is negative for any cancer. It was just a benign adenoma.

So thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.

God is great!

Need: I agree about it being the plastic surgeon's fault. I think that woman held the record, sadly, for having the most plastic surgeries. Crazy. I doubt if she achieved perfection, since her mentality was skewed.

TNtechie: You're right about downsizing. I had to live out of state with my late mother, who owned her own home. Long story short - she refused to leave, then took a health downturn, precipitating me to move in with her from 7 states away. She suffered a stroke, ending her life. As I had been living there for an extended period, my energy was zapped. Fortunately my husband was a great organizer and we emptied her entire house of possessions so that we could sell the home. We vacated the home, leaving the reactor's lock box outside and drove 600 miles to OUR own home. Difficult much? Yes.
I do understand purging your own items. The dress that your mother made sounds magnificent.

Need: I don't know how I got stuck donating those Life mags, other than the fact that my brother, who is an attorney, had to get home when our mother was near death, after her stroke.
