Not exactly what you'd want to hear (((((Kats))))). The upside is the "knowing" for sure what your next step is. Sending positive vibes and wishing you the very best! Early is good, very very good. Think of everyone here as "holding your hand"

Please keep us posted, and know that we're all here for you if you need to vent, cry, talk...whatever.

I went for my second mammo and the ultrasound, and haven't heard a peep from anyone. My follow-up appointment with the doctor is Tuesday (right before I hop on a plane for a 3 day business trip to AZ). I'm hoping that their silence is a good sign....but I'll let you all know either way.
Tuesday, just around the corner. :praying:Silence is golden, tell them you want it in a 12 oz bar or a couple Krugerands.. Good luck.

Good. Early is good. Cancer doesn't knock, so am glad you are doing the big stuff, and knocking it out. Check out the breast surgeons in your neck of the woods. Write, call, and scream anytime you wish. Get it out.

Hey All,

Just wanted to send a huge "high 5" to the folks in this thread for screening, early detection, and proactive exams. Big stuff and it's so so SO important for all of us to take care of our selves and each other!

Big Love!

Well my doctor's appointment isn't until tomorrow, but I got a letter from the radiology center today....says the area is "probably benign" and requires follow up in 6 months. I'll take it! :)

katsarecool 11-15-2010 02:43 PM
What a day!!! I waited till 10:30 to hear from my primary care doc. Then I had to get busy. They made an appointment and the earliest one is (hold your hat) Dec. 23rd!!! Well that is not acceptable. I live with 25 miles of Emory University Hospital and I made sure that I got an appointment for this Thursday at 7:45 am. Lots of stuff had to be jiggled and lots of calls to pull this off. Mostly I did the work.

I have a word of advice for women living in a small town with a hospital that does not have a breast and diagnostic center. Do not go there. Go to a place that does have a good center.

The test I am having done is not a routine biopsy (doesn't that just figure) it is called a stereostatic biopsy and has to be done by a radiologist. The will be removing the lesion and punching holes in surrounding tissues for samples too.

And I have strep throat from sleeping with my 4 and 8 yr old grandsons Friday night. I am totally exhausted and my pain level is way up there right now.

Kat... Good luck on Thursday with the Stereostatic Biopsy - I have had four of these types of biopsies. Most of my breast biopsies have been done by radiologist - in fact, I prefer them over my breast surgeon.

I know you are calm right now and hopefully you have someone going with you. Once you get there, it can be daunting, especially the machine. Ask for something like ativan if you are feeling nervous - it will make the procedure easier.

Please keep us posted - and remember... THIS IS YOUR BODY!

Thank you Julie!!! It will be a radiologist that will be doing this test. And that is all she does do; working at the Breast and Diagnosis Center in an Emory Univeristy satelitte.

I am not sure I will get nervous though. I have had several caudal nerve blocks, spinal cord implant surgery, knee surgery, and other surgical procedures all done in the last ten years since I was injured. And all done awake.

I will however be taking my Hydocodene before the procedure and my daughter is going with me. The tech at the local hospital just dropped off my films so that part is done. She said I have a cluster of calcifications what ever that means. She showed me with the tip of her little finger how small it is. I am not going to look at the films. I saw the mammo that was done 2.5 weeks ago and that was enough.

It was lucky that I called today so I can stop taking the blood thiners. Whew!!!

Thank you everyone for all the support! No one should ever feel they are alone during times like these. And I think that is why I am calm because I do not feel alone.

This procedure may be 'routine' to the folks who do them, but not to the people are having the procedure! Waiting to hear the results and wishing you the best of everything. :)

I will never forget the moment I found my lump. I felt it, and everything froze. My fingers went straight back to it. And again. And again. I couldn't believe it. It wasn't possible. I was barely 30. I had my lover feel (She's an RN). I watched her face. I knew the moment she realized it wasn't just fiberous tissue or a fatty tumor. I watched the wrinkles form above her brow. And I cried.

I knew I needed a mammogram. And I put it off. And off. And off. I kept going back to that damned lump tho. And yet, I put it off. My friends, my family, my wife, encouraged me to get myself to the doctor, and quick. And yet, it was MY journey, my lump, my body, my breasts, and MY TIME.

I was so freaking scared. I was petrified. I cried so much. Finally, four months later, I made myself get a mammogram. And, I am one of the lucky ones.

The point of this, I hope, is that you will take away some hope! My lump is just a lump. Nothing bad living inside it. I am due for another mammogram in a couple of months, and we will make sure I am still fine. But, I will go into this one with hope!!! Take that with you when you go for your biopsy. Go in with hope instead of dread, carry it with you like a sheild.

Good luck, Sweetheart. I wish you nothing but positive experiences!!! May you be quickly seen, and quickly relieved of your worry!! My PMs are always open if you need to chat!

*Hugs*

Thank you Lis!!!! I do understand that fear and wanting to put off the mammogram. I bet you were terrified. But how wonderful you are ok!!!!

(((((katsarekool))))) Good for you for taking charge of things. I too will be sending plenty of energy and light your way.

This is the video of the test I will be having Thursday morning. It is not for the faint of heart to see this. Until yesterday I had never even heard of this diagnostic test for calcifications in the breast. Turns out this test has been around since the 1990s. I feel more comfortable about it after seeing this video. I am even happier that Emory University is doing the test. Heres the link on YouTube:

thought i'd pop in and let everyione know Jo went in to get results from her follow up mammo and all is well...i went in after her to get results and seems they found a mass on both breasts so i gotta go thurs for another mammogram...not too worried tho bc i know things start to form after awhile that arent dangerous...of course i have 3 weeks to wait AFTER i do the test tho for results....luckily i am the type that gets sidetracked easily so i wont be driving myself or my sweetie insane in those 3 weeks..

Kat....Jo and i will be sending good energy your way on thursday...good luck! :)

This is good, although I'm not crazy about this techologists' "sterile technique" :o
Are you going to take a mild sedative? a little Xanax? Valium? even a Benadryl would be a little relaxation to just take the edge off of nerves etc. The more relaxed, the easier it will be for you!

Thinking positive thoughts for you!!!!!!!!!!!! Three weeks is a long time to wait!!! Bless your heart!

Lipstick, no sedation for me. I will take my loritab though. :)

Okay back at home now. The radiologist and technician at Emory University Hospital were awesome!!!!!! They knew exactly what they were doing and had humor too. It was not comfortable; it lasted 45 min and I am in a bit of pain. Thanks for Vicodin! They were not able to get all the lesion but did successfully get five core specimens and place a titanium marker. Now we wait till Tuesday or Wed for the results. I am glad it is over!

Tommi 11-20-2010 05:46 PM
The Nile and Denial
 
What a proactive group we have here. Awesome that I see ya'll doing research, and follow-up's and return visits and just being aware.

I know enough to be dangerous and enough to be scared. So, I am grateful for this thread, as it has reminded me of the importance of doing what many like me hesitate doing. I can tell the ladies to go have those Mammo's and when it comes to me.:mohawk:..ahh..well...I can just say, I have to get off my soapbox and go do it myself. Denial is not that river in Egypt.

Glad to be here, and see all of you too.

Kat - Do keep us posted.
They will have your results that quick? My biopsies always took 7 days... Which were the longest 7 days of my life.

Hard to get all the lesion with a stereotactic. I also have cluster calcifications - which are watched closely. It is these calcifications which my Mom had, that were malignant. Amazing something so small.

I am glad it is over for you.

Yes, I lucked out....no lesion, no mass, just some fibrous tissue. So, I get a follow up mammo and ultrasound in 6 months....and will have to be sure to go annually. I feel like I dodged a bullet :fastdraq:

Now I get to worry about my sweetie....she may sidetrack easily, but I'm :vigil:

Good luck to Scoote I will be thinking about her, and glad to hear that it is nothing for you Jo. I go to have my mammo in Dec 2010 they couldn't fit me in any earlier well it is the NY area so I understand that there are a lot of people needing a mammography I'm not the only one but really not looking forward to it..

katsarecool 11-20-2010 08:58 PM
Wishing you all good results, good continued results and congrats for taking the bull by the horn and getting those mammos. For all of us who have lost loved ones to this disease; my most heartfelt condolences. I also lost mom to this terrible disease but it was 28 yrs ago she was diagnosed and she lived for just three more years.

During this time since Oct. 20th, it has caused me a great deal of thinking. But the most surprising thing is that I have been greiving all over again about my mom. I know if she knew that one of her daughters was possibly facing breast cancer she would be mad as hell! I feel sad for all over again, after now tasting a tiny part of what she experienced.

I will never look at Breast Cancer lightly again and will encourage every woman and born woman I know to take good care of themselves by self examination, yearly check ups and mammo exams. I started already with my two daughters asking them to get the BRACtest. Better to know about the gene in order to make life changes now! One daughter is 41 and the other is 38; three sisters 59, 48 and the youngest 46. And two granddaughters 15 and 8.

I was surprised to learn that only about 8% of breast cancer (or some low number close to that) is hereditary. BRACtest also finds the gene for ovarian cancer which really is a silent killer!!!

Hugs and love to all on this thread!!!

I have never really given any thought to cancer, until my mother rec'v her diagnosis. About 2 years ago. And I about 5mths ago had breast reduction and while operating they found mass, I was very lucky. So tell a fellow sister to get check

katsarecool 11-20-2010 10:42 PM
I am so happy you are ok!!! And sorry about your mom dealing with this terrible disease!!!!

katsarecool 11-23-2010 01:41 PM
I just talked to the nurse. It is benign!!! Fiborus adenoma is the diagnosis which will require a mammogram every six months indefinitely!
What a relief! I want to say a special thank you for everyone who offered support and love and an extra special thanks to the people who sent support and love through private messages. All of this has sustained me through this five week ordeal. Now I can be just a regular member here!!! Yeah!

Looks like you, me and Scoote will all be doing that 6 month thing, but it's a heck of a lot better than the alternative. :)

It sure is Jo! And the three of us can remind each other six months from now "well are you going to make that appointment in May? Thanks so much for all the support and love!!!

Okay....so it's not Breast Cancer Awareness Month because I'm a month late...but I'm heading in today for my mammogram (and an ultrasound on that pesky right side)...and wanted to give this thread a bump.

If you haven't had your mammogram yet this year...please call and schedule it now.

We want to keep all of you around for as long as we can. :rrose:

Gemme 11-02-2011 07:02 PM
My apartment complex has a steady supply of breast cancer awareness merchandise that they sell and the profits go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

I bought a tote.

:stillheart:

Now, ya'll go get your boobs checked!

JustJo 10-07-2012 07:08 PM
It's that time of year again....breast cancer awareness month.

My annual is coming up soon, and I remember the trepidation I felt two years ago when it came back "abnormal."

Femme, butch, trans....we all owe it to ourselves and those we love to have regular screenings. Believe me, I hate it as much as anyone....but it's important.

Please take a moment and make your appointment today. If you don't have insurance, please check with your local Planned Parenthood office or local Department of Health. There are lots of programs that cover mammograms for uninsured women...there may be one in your area. :rrose:
