what to think ??

[Guest guest]

I guess I was wondering too if I belong here, I mean, I have not

been officially diagnosed with anything yet, but I'm really fearful

and I've learned so much from just reading your posts, that if

things were to be positive, then I will have you to thank. I was so

concerned that instead of my usual 'fibrocystic' lumps they used to

aspirate, they called it a 'mass' and wanted f-u mammo and u/s. That

was then, and so yesterday I went and had like 10 more (some very

painful) views on mammo and then the us.

Now, I know that I stand just as good a chance of not having bc as

I do of having it, and yet I don't know what to think at all. The

Dr. doing it kept saying things like " Wow, this is weird " and " oh

that's not right " and comments like that. I just tried to lay there

calmly and thought she'd out and out say, looks bad. She then got

into her 'doctor' mode and said, well, we can't tell what it is but

we'll have to do a biopsy. So I'm scheduled for one a week from

today. Just an aspiration one. I'm trying hard to think positive,

but I mean, that was just plain stupid of that Dr. to keep saying

those kinds of things, oh and " I don't like the looks of that " - and

act all cheery at the end, well, I have no idea what to think.

Has anyone experienced this kind of dilemma and is waiting for

final 'word' as LONG and tiring as it seems for me? I'm kind of

believing it will be benign, and I don't know why. THey say 80%

are. So I'm hanging onto that.

But I still wonder, like the person kicked out of the chat room,

should I be here if I'm only in the diagnostic phase? And if so, any

ideas on how to think about her reactions? Sorry to go on so long.

Thanks - Pat

Hi Pat,

I ran into the same situation about a month ago (or less...). Found a

lump, went in, had it checked, re-checked, and discovered a 2nd lump.

I was scared to death. I went in with one, came out with two. One

ended up being a cyst, no biggy, the other a fibroadenoma. I just had

it removed last week Thursday and am doing great. The biopsy came

back that there was no cancer cells. My dr told me there was a 2%

chance it could contain cancer and I didn't want to take the chance,

plus they wanted it out too. I know your mind is racing and your

thinking all the " what if's " . It makes me mad that your dr would say

those things, because then your worrying could be for absolutly NO

reason at all. Plus until they get the biopsy results back I

seriously think they should keep their mouths shut. It makes all

the " what if's " 100 times more. Slow down, breath, and stay busy.

Help others out, do anything to try and keep your mind from being

completely consumed by it until you find out the truth. Maybe mention

to your dr you don't want to hear anything negative until the biopsy

results are in. I'm sure that would help alot of women whose Dr's say

those type of comments. Hugs and prayers, keep us posted!!

Thanks Jen, I really appreciate that. I truly was so calm even w/ the u/s and

even seeing the lump there, but it was her words, and yes, they have NO right to

be so open about what they might be thinking. It could be anything, true.

Hopefully nothing. But it sure hurts since they squeezed it with that smaller

mammo thing. Can't touch it. But will keep busy, and so far haven't had a lot of

time but it seems to come back to haunt me. Oh well, Friday isn't that far away.

I have lots to do and I'm so glad you found your two and they were

non-cancerous. I never found the lump though, course I'm so fibrocystic I just

can't check, they told me its really meaningless and to depend on my mammos. I'd

just scare myself. Oh well, I guess everyone gets told different things don't

we? Thanks, I will try to do 'fun' things this week. Pat

Pat:

When I started with the group I was pre-cancer also. I think you should be

here. You need the reassurance and support of women who have been where you

are. I think, most all of us were

scared and worried at one point or another or maybe many times.

Stay strong and positive. At least the biopsy will define hopefully what is

going on.

Take care.

Thanks Jan, I guess I feel so much like a 'sissy' compared with what others have

gone through, but man have I learned a LOT. I mean it, things I Never would have

thought of. I had no clue. And I worked as a nurse for 25 years. (Rehab mostly)

This site is very supportive and so full of good information, and if I can be of

any help or assistance, it would make me feel good. But I'm hanging on at least

through this Fri. and however long it takes for a biopsy to be read. Anyone know

how soon they knew? Thanks. Pat

Pat,

I sure know what you mean. When I had my u/s the tech and dr were talking to

each other like I wasn't there. But listening to them proved usefull and I had

to go back in two more times and saw two more radiologists before they schedule

a biopsy. It came back positive for bc and the surgeon recommended a

lumpectomy, but I remembered on one of the u/s they said a second spot looked

bad. I told the surgeon and latter got a call to go in for a biopsy and second

spot. It was ok so went ahead with lumpectomy. If hadn't had second biopsy it

would have worried that they had missed something.

Also, don't be afraid to ask thme what they're talking about. After all it

your body and your health, they should be there for you.

Will keep you in by prayers. Hoping all is well. Joyce

Thanks Joyce, glad you know what I mean, though I'm sure about everyone does. I

try to remain 'compliant' and not make waves, I've always been that type, but

I'm always listening closely. You do get a lot of info that way I suppose. Then

why do I feel I'm fine? If she kept saying bad things, I feel it will truly be

benign and not a big deal? I wonder if others go through that. Still, we don't

know either way, but I'd like to be ready to hear whatever. I don't want to go

in so certain I'm fine and have them say something otherwise. Oh well, I guess

we all travel our paths the way we do. I hope I only have to have 1 biopsy. Just

want it done. Thanks though. Pat

I had my biopsy report the same day and the doctor's office called me and asked

me to come in the next day. That sure got my attention. It usually takes

several days to get things back. I was

grateful that this was something they were on top of. I would call Monday.

I do of having it, and yet I don't know what to think at all. The

Dr. doing it kept saying things like " Wow, this is weird " and " oh

that's not right " and comments like that. I just tried to lay there

calmly and thought she'd out and out say, looks bad. She then got

into her 'doctor' mode and said, well, we can't tell what it is but

we'll have to do a biopsy. So I'm scheduled for one a week from

today. Just an aspiration one. I'm trying hard to think positive,

but I mean, that was just plain stupid of that Dr. to keep saying

those kinds of things, oh and " I don't like the looks of that " - and

act all cheery at the end, well, I have no idea what to think.

Has anyone experienced this kind of dilemma and is waiting for

final 'word' as LONG and tiring as it seems for me? I'm kind of

believing it will be benign, and I don't know why. THey say 80%

are. So I'm hanging onto that.

But I still wonder, like the person kicked out of the chat room,

should I be here if I'm only in the diagnostic phase? And if so, any

ideas on how to think about her reactions? Sorry to go on so long.

Thanks - Pat
