YLF prayers/wishes needed.ETA: all good!

Sona

Veteran

for last 3 weeks: fingers kept finding a spot in left breast: not a discrete mass: just painful with skin color changes. saw OB today: mammogram and ultrasound Wednesday with surgeon on standby if biopsy needed and shows something concerning.

I am 38, no family history but in reality that does not mean a thing. Please pray/wish/send positive thoughts/whatever you believe in that it is a benign process.

Should it turn out to be anything of significance I am fearful I will refuse treatment and begin to think it was meant to be : that is the unfortunate way that my depression can distort thoughts.

ETA: 6/26: 4.20 pm CST: they feel the lump but mammogram and ultrasound are normal so conclusion is it is not something to be worried about but they told me I could see a breast surgeon if I wished: hubs and I concluded this isn't necessary and I will just keep doing self exams and get my next mammogram in 2 ys when I turn 40.

I will certainly pray for this to be benign. Hang in there Sona, and lean on your family and friends right now. You are loved by so many!

Oh, how scary, and not a stress you need right now (if ever!). Just take things one day at a time, and see what Wednesday brings. Sending you positive energy.

I'm sending positive thoughts and prayers and {{{hugs}}} your way! Especially that it turns out to be 'nothing'. But if it needs any sort of treatment, I sure hope you jump right on it. Mr. Sona's gone again? I hope he returns soon for love and support -- you need both. Life has been especially challenging lately.

Please, please do not receive treatment if needed. This world is a better place with you in it. I'm sending love and saying prayers for the best of news for you. Stay strong, you are loved by many.

Thank you my extended family. Kristin: my psychiatrist just left today to go overseas for two weeks. I called the person who is covering for her and left a message. Hoping she calls me back. Hubby has been texting and calling as he can- he is out of town through tomorrow night.

Sona, you are wise to have things checked up and a biopsy procedure on standby. One day at a time. Try not to think too far ahead, and we are here to offer moral support every step of the way. xoxo

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} One.day.at.a.time. I hope this is benign. And I commend you for reaching out because you fear you may refuse treatment if it isn't. Keep reminding yourself how much you love Mr. Sona and Bebe, and that they need you to be around. Visualize sharing each of Bebe's milestones with her.

Sending you well wishes and a prayer for you that this will be benign and nothing serious and that you will feel better very soon.

Sona, be strong. As one who has recently been through this, you can do it. All the medical professionals really know their onions ( I know, an old silly expression) when it comes to breast issues. Novacaine at the dentist is a bigger experience for me than the biopsy was. Truly, the only hard part of the whole experience is the waiting. Stay busy and get physical exercise. Hugs...

Sending healing thoughts your way. I have had suspicious lumps turn out to be nothing both times. Try not to worry until you get a diagnosis. Even then try not to worry.

Hang in there beautiful! I am praying for this to be a big nothing. Try to remain positive. I actually had a similar scare about 15 years ago and I was fine. It's pretty common.

Sona, you are young and are acting wise at this stage.

Don't worry if possible, I know it's easy to say, but there is always time for that.

And there is so much that can be done.

Sona-Hugs and prayers. Just keep remembering how much you are loved and how much you love your family. You will draw strength from that.

Sona

Yes. I'm just being a big worry wart aren't I? I think recent past experiences are shaping my reaction; three of my Indian physician friends right here in MN had breast cancer detected at age 39/40 all needed up needing radical mastectomies, chemo and radiation.

I spoke with the psychiatrist covering for mine she has called in something to help me relax should I panic. My own psychiatrist was able to text me before she boarded the plane overseas which was also reassuring. She told me not to be ALONE should I have dark thoughts. I have two friends that have given me carte blanche to drop in any time this evening.

I always tell my patients in similar circumstances that knowledge is power. Once we know whether its a big nothing or a big something then we can have a plan. But the waiting...'tis sweet torture.

Sona, you are stronger than you think. You have the power to get through this and make the right choices for you and mr sona and bebe, whatever those choices may be.

It's ok to be scared. It's not ok to give up because of fear.

You are loved by so many people, who will support you if you just ask.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this news. I hope you can try to relax a bit until you find out just what you're dealing with. Waiting is so hard - my thoughts and prayers are with you.
