Lisa

You will be in my thoughts! Try not to worry too much (I know, that's a hard thing to do!). Even should it be cancer, the treatments these days make full recovery a highly successful prospect. (My mom is a breast cancer survivor!)

Hang in there, and keep us posted.

Melissa,
I will keep you in my prayers. I have many friends who are breast cancer survivors. The testing and waiting is very hard. Thier advice would be: get second opinions. And Prayer works!
Vicki

Melissa, I will add your name to my prayer list. Right now, look at this 'fear' as your enemy, and treat it as such! I'm hoping you have talked to your daughters about what's going on as I think they should know what's happening with mom.

(((((Melissa))))) Please keep us updated...........

I know how worrisome a lump can be. I will hold you and your family in the Light. (And you're right - all the people praying really help.)

Melissa,
You and your family are all in my prayers. I will also pray for your doctors and all the medical folks who will be helping you. Deanna in South Dakota

You will certainly be in my prayers. My aunt was diagnosed 10 years ago, had a mastecotomy and chemo and is doing very well. She can still outwork me. There has been great progress in medicine and treatments, so keep your chin up. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Dear Melissa,

I will be thinking of you. And I am hoping for the very best for you. Please let us know how you are doing. I hope all of this agonizing waiting will not last much longer and that all you hear is good news very soon. My best wishes to you.

Nina

Will be thinking of you and praying for the best results. The waiting is is very stressful. Maybe you need to do a quilting project to occupy your thoughts while you wait. I find quilting to be quite relaxing. I have sat waiting for the very same news so I know what you are feeling. Keep us posted.

Thank you all for the prayers, thoughts and words of encouragement. Am working on staying positive and trying not to worry without cause.

Melissa

You (and your family) are in my thoughts and prayers too. I hope that you are able to do something enjoyable to relieve your stress and keep your mind off of your worries as much as possible. Please keep us posted.

Melissa - I have been wondering how you are these days. Sending prayers for you.

Melissa,

You are in my prayers that everything will turn out alright for you and your girls.

Melissa,
Prayers and hugs coming your way!

Sally

Thank you all for your prayers. Had the surgery yesterday and came through it fine. The surgeon ended up having to make a larger incision than she had planned. The two lumps weren't as close together as she had thought. Am home recuperating now (good drugs to help with that!). Now will have to wait until Monday for the results of the biopsy.
Melissa

Hi Melissa - Glad to hear you are all done with that step. Now you just relax and rest up. No need to worry until you have something to worry about. Good thoughts to you. Mirren

Melissa Â

I have been thinking of you all week. And IÂm wishing you the very best for today. (((hugs)))

Nina

Melissa, How are you doing? Do you have any news.

Prayers and hugs coming your way.

Sally

Melissa,
I keep wondering how you are doing since I believe you had an appointment this week. Prayers and hugs for you. Deanna

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and concern. Mostly, thank you so very much for your prayers----they worked!! Lumps were just cysts and dense fibrous tissue. I was so relieved, as were my husband and daughters--and, of course, my mother! Hopefully will be around for a long, long time to come!

I was very sorry to hear about bitsandpieces. Someone, somewhere, sometime soon needs to find a cure for cancer. I keep giving and giving to the Cancer Foundation and to St. Jude. They need all the money they can get to fund the research needed to find a cure. Please, please support these foundations in whatever way you can. Cancer can strike anyone at any time.

Melissa

Oh Melissa IÂm so happy to hear your great news! IÂve been checking in to see how you are. How wonderful that your long wait is over. IÂm very relieved for you and your family!

I wish I could think of something better to say after what we learned today....All I can think of is that I do wish everyone could have the good news you did.

IÂm very happy for you Melissa!

Nina

Melissa, Wonderful news for you!!!! But, who knows what they were when you requested prayer.....I, personally, know of tumors that have actually disappeared after having prayer. The doc had both exrays up there and he was shaking his head all befuddled.

I continue to support the foundations in searching for a cancer cure. That nasty disease has touched all our lives in one way or another!

SharonG/FL

I'm very happy for you. It's such a relief to get good news after days of worry.

Oh Melissa I am so happy for you and your family.

Guess I missed this thread, but after reading it all, I'm so happy for you that it wasn't cancer. My favorite cousin, who was like an older sister to me, and my mother both died of breast cancer. That was 27 and 25 years ago, and there are a lot of new ways to fight it now (We have a friend who has been fighting it for around 10 years and is still able to hold down a job.), but I know it is still scary.
