Becky, I hope this is nothing - and will be praying for this to be so. Tell your girls to behave like ladies.
Much love
Chris

Becky,
I'm praying that this turns out to be nothing more than a cyst. No matter what anyone says I know you will worry until you find out what's going on and I really hope that it turns out to be nothing. The waiting to find out is always the worst part. You always send such positive energy to everyone and I'm hoping that you can feel the positive energy I'm sending your way. You are in my prayers.

Becky, I'm hoping since it popped up that *fast* its nothing serious to be concerned with. It really makes me think it has to be a cyst of some kind to come up out of no where like that? However we all know how stressful these things can be.
I am so glad your doc is going to let you have a mammo and "US" right away verses making you wait. Please update us the minute you hear something. I am sending positive thoughts your way that. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...that's a promise! You hang in there. I will be thinking of you tomorrow!
Chelee

Becky,
Hope it's just a cyst but get it out and take some tissue around it because while the cyst may be benign, the tissue around it may have some sneaky cancer cells - I know of what I speak. Just be very sure. don't be scared, knowledge frees us. you will come through this. Better to find out early.
wishing you all the best
sarah

When it rains it pours... Huh ?
Amazing how we wish for cysts...
I do hope all turns out OK with you. Looks like both of us are biting our nails a bit today.

Becky,
We are all hoping it is just a cyst and that it is a minor thing to deal with.
Waiting patiently for your positive report.
Sending good thoughts,

Healthy Vibes Coming Your Way, Becky...
Becky, From the moment I read your post I have been thinking and praying for good news for you! I agree, DON'T PUT YOUR ENERGY WHERE YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE. I say -- DON'T GIVE YOUR POWER AWAY TO ANY ONE OR ANY THING. Don't even consider putting your energy into scary scenarios. What you think all day will determine how you feel -- and it will impact outcome.
You must be careful what you dwell on all day. When I have scary thoughts, I allow them, knowing you can't just suppress them. That isn't healthy. You must acknowledge them, experience them emotionally and thus HEAL them. Then, I always move on to replace those negative ponderings with NO! NO MORE CANCER. I WILL BE WELL AND HEALTHY. And, *that's* the message I send out into the Universe! Calling what I want to me, vs what I fear the most.
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT POST, WANTING TO HEAR YOUR NEWS. You are such a shining Light for all of us all the time. Let us all collect our energy for YOU now and call your desired results to you. We all love you for your wisdom, knowledge, caring and loving Spirit.
Sending happy energy your way,
Andi
