[Believe51]

Big hug coming right back at 'ya Rhonda!! As you know my Mom ('LilAcorn) was just diagnosed with DCIS and has had a lumpectomy this past Friday. Ed has been ill since 9/06 with no sign of NED. I know that every person has great stresses on themselves in today's world but I am beginning to become concerned. At the moment I am planning on attending Mom's next appointment with her surgeon, many questions to ask. I also need some testing also to see what risk I am at (I know I am already predisposed). The stress I am under is unbelievable not that I am complaining and it is a growing concern of mine that I could be a patient and caregiver at the same time. I do need another mamm even though I had one in June and it was not until this year did those concerns turn to fear. I am more afraid of playing both roles than I am to know that I am a candidate for bc, believe it or not. Thanks for the upbeat post. Caregivers go on day to day with them all blending into one blurr; doing whatever we need to so we may see our loved ones through. Before we know it another day passes and hopefully we can take steps forward to reap the rewards!! Lots of Love & Continued Prayers>>Commanding the other half of our miracle>>Believe51
