Hi Susan,

I understand totally how you feel. The same thing happened to me. I was diagnosed in June of 2005. I had my right breast mastectomy July 28, 2005. Starte chemo Aug. of 05 and finished that Nov. 05. Continued on herceptin till Oct. 06. Did radiation Dec. - Feb. and the day before my radiation ended I had a mammogram and they found a suspicious cluster of calcification that they wanted to biopsy. OH MY GOSH. I was petrified and like you, couldn't believe I was going through this again. I cried through out my stereotactic biopsy (a little bit of a pity party I guess

) I was absolutely convinced it was breast cancer again. Thankfully it wasn't. I had my left breast removed the following month as I was not going to go through this every 6 months.

Like Lana said, it probably is benign BUT if it isn't, you got it very early. That is a good thing.

You can get through this. You are strong. They are being cautious and that is good thing. It's probably nothing but your fears are understandable and felt my me.

Praying God's Peace to surround you Susan.

Love,

Mary Jo
