Here goes the waiting game again

[Guest guest]

Hi All -

Sorry I haven't been around for a few months, but my life became very hectic

and there were so many e-mails, I just couldn't keep up.

I had my first year anniversary on December 28th and have had high hopes,

but now I've found a lump in my left breast (my right breast was removed

last time). I've been on Arimidex, but you're supposed to be

post-menopausal and I had a period on January 4th. So now I might have been

on a drug that wasn't helping prevent a reoccurrence. I've been trying to

get back with my onc and that was a big mess up.

Now I'm starting again with my ob/gyn to get approval for a sonogram - or

ultrasound...can't remember which it is. Then, as you all know, I'll get my

referral to the surgeon, get a biopsy, etc. I don't know if I can stand

going through this again, but I can't live knowing I have a lump there and

not doing anything about it. Of course in my mind, it is cancer and I will

have the whole lumpectomy, mastectomy and reconstruction to go through

again.

I have to admit that I'm afraid, I had a mammogram in December and it was

alright, but this lump is large and against my chest muscle like the last

one (larger than the last one though). And, the last time, I found the

lump - it didn't show up in the mammogram.

Just needed a place to express my concern where I know people understand.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Love, (VA. Beach, VA)

Dear ,

Hi, I am so sorry to hear about your situation... I hope things move quickly

with the doctors to get your appts. in place and hopefully ease your mind. I

know the first reaction is " it's cancer " , it might not be, and the waiting is

difficult to find out.. however, keep posting, keep advocating for yourself and

just keep being you!!! I know it's hard, and I will keep you in my thoughts and

prayers constantly.... Keep me posted!

Love and Hugs
