Dear Mary Jo,

I am so sorry you are having any pain. For me I don't dread the test so much.
I dread the unkown rather than going and finding out all is well.
I guess I look at it as I have a 50/50 either way and why not feel the glass is half full in my benefit.

I believe in early detection - that is what saved me. So either way if you consider everything....you are in control by taking the best measures to
protect yourself.

Also remember how brave you are - you have already survived hearing
"C" word. I will keep you in my prayers and think positive - the mind
helps heal the body. (It an't easy sister) but know we are all behind
you and with you!

Keep us posted!
God Bless,
Jean
