He wants me to have a mammo and ultrasound of that breast and see him. I will probably do a bx of that nipple to see if there is changes. (My opposite nipple lit up on my PET scan) I'm just worried about Paget's disease or inflammatory breast cancer. I'm hoping for the best. Not a good BDay present. I know it could be worse, just was hoping for NORMAL PET scan on the report (don't we all)

Hi Michele,

First of all let me say, "happy birthday!" Then let me say I'm sorry your birthday had to be celebrated with this on your plate. I know you say "it could be worse" and yes, I suppose it could be but it's still stressful and not what you wanted to have to go through. So, for that I'm sorry.

I'm praying for the best for you. All normal...nothing wrong.....just one of those things - a false positive.

Sending hugs and love to you AND I love your new pic. You're beautiful.

Mary Jo

Have a happy birthday Michelle. Its scary when tests don't come out the way they are supposed to. It seems all of mine have something weird that is easy to eventually explain away and yours is probably one of those too.

Remember a LONG time ago I wrote you and told you that you were my hero and you still are!

Dear Michele -
Hope you had a good time on your birthday in spite of your worries. Bet the kids had a good surprise for you.

I must have missed a post about the PET scan - could not keep up with all the posts while I was away in San Diego and running pretty nonstop since returning home. (Son visiting, family celebration, etc ...)

You have done SO well up to now that I am having a hard time believing that there is anything wrong with you. BUT - we do have to remain vigilant and check and double check.

Positive energy of all kinds coming your way for an easy explanation.
