I have a principal which I TRY to follow. Not always very successfully I hasten to add! But, it is this. I try not to worry about something until I know it to be true. There will be ample time to freak out. But not yet. I postpone it until further notice. Does that make sense? I did not say it was easy.

Parenthetically, I too had a ""suspicious area" found in my left breast when getting the workup that diagnosed my cancer. And just finished my positive core biopsy. They said it would need a biopsy too and to be watched carefully from now on. Well, considering how aggressive the right breast cells were, I requested, and was given, a bilateral mastectomy. Turns out I did not have cancer on the left side. But I feel relieved to not be waiting for the other shoe to drop down the line. Although, ironically, my left arm and hand are more affected/compromised by the surgery than the right. And I am left-handed! It's always something!
