Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 don't feel sorry for bringing those questions up, I know I should be happy the results were benign, but I am even more worried now, there are still a lot of problems with no answers. If its truly benign then why is the left breast suddenly so much larger than the right breast, why is the lymph node area of that arm so swollen, etc etc. I'm not saying I want it to be cancer, I just want answers that make some kind of sense and something I can do something about to change the way I feel, and be able to get back to normal. I am feeling pretty down at the moment, like they think I am a hypochondriac, or just nuts in the head. I know my boyfriend is questioning whether anything is wrong with me or not. Last I knew they were just going to have me go back for another mamogram in 6 months, to see if there are any changes or not. they put a marker in the middle of the tumor so they will be able to find it. they took five samples but all from the same area. I don't know what to think and right now I just want to crawl under a rock somewhere. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone or not. Lori Re: waiting Hey, Lori, benign is great! But aren't you also feeling terribly ill and losing weight? Are they planning to remove it anyway? Sorry if I'm bringing up uncomfortable questions. > hello everyone > I haven't posted anything in a few days. I had my biopsy done last > friday. I am waiting for the pathology report to come in.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Lori, Please don't crawl under that rock, its awfully lonely under there... You are by no means a Hypochoniac.. for petes sake, its your body, the only one you have dammit and only you know truly how you feel.. Be persistent, don't just sit back and worry, why should you. Say " No, I don't want to wait 6 months because " why is my breast swollen, why is my arm swollen. " .. thats bologna.. Persist Persist Persist... ask for whatever test you want and use whichever doctor will get you there, primary, gyn, oncologist, surgeon, whoever you feel most comfortable with. You will feel so much better in the long run to have answers before waiting for a mammogram in 6 months.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi : could you tell me why did you have a complete hysterectomy and what effects did you have with that? because my oncologist want to take of my ovaries, because i am high risck and my bc was hormono-dependent, i am so confuse right now because i did't heard about that surgery in other bc patients, is because my cancer is worse than others or what?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hi Anggy, I did my tram flap reconstruction and complete hysterectomy at the same time. You pretty much have it right. Its because of the high risk and the ovaries producing the hormones. For me, it was a matter of both, as my mom had passed away really young of ovarian cancer, so it was also precautionary. A complete hysterectomy puts you into overnight menopause, but I did all my surgeries first and then chemo, so it didn't matter anyways since the hotflashes you get with the chemo anyways. I don't remember what your cancer stage was, and I don't remember your whole story. Why are you high risk? Get back to me when you get a chance, I'd like to hear more about why your oncologist is suggesting this. Peace and Prayers, Michele Manunta anggymanu@...> wrote: Hi : could you tell me why did you have a complete hysterectomy and what effects did you have with that? because my oncologist want to take of my ovaries, because i am high risck and my bc was hormono-dependent, i am so confuse right now because i did't heard about that surgery in other bc patients, is because my cancer is worse than others or what?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Oh, Lori Your feelings and emotions all make sense, but not to the people who aren't or haven't been where you are at. Keep asking questions! Be emphatic. You have a right to know. You have come a long way with all this. Don't stop now. We are still here for you. What specifically did they tell you about what was found?
