prayers please
Another co-worker has found a lump in her breast, and will find out Thursday what's going on. She had a mammo and ultrasound yesterday, with a needle biopsy. She said they didn't seem overly concerned when they did the mammo and us. She saw the same surgeon I had and loved. He answered all my questions when my first onc didn't. So she sees him to find out what's going on tomorrow. The lump does hurt, and I know that doesn't mean anything, but just keep your fingers crossed for her!

She found out it's just a cyst and has surgery to remove it because it's causing so much pain on Monday. I was so happy I cried. Thanks!

Juanita
I am glad she is having surgery to remove it. I had "2 cysts" in my right breast in May of 07 and in October of 07 found out the cysts were actually 2 cancerous tumors.
