The time involved is not an indicator of bad news....it all depends on where it has to be sent, weekends, the schedule of the pathologist, etc. Hang in there....we know the waiting is the hardest...
Hi Lilly- Good luck...please keep us posted with the outcome of this, and hopefully it is a big nothing. Lori...
Hi Rusty.... I agree with the others. Best to get it checked...but odds are in your favor. Something like 80-90% of lumps are benign, so no reason to think yours would not be either. But for peace of...
Hi Patricia! Thanks for sharing, we LOVE good news! really, that is great news! I was about 10 years behind you...diagnosed in 1999 just a week shy of turning 31, also dx'ed with IIA. Here's looking...
MK, how I hated to read this. It is YOU that we are offering the hugs and prayers to, and easy to see where Carolyn gets her strength from....she lived her life like a hero up until the end, and she...
Well hooray for you for taking charge and making sure you know your breasts and can document every change. I am 10 years out of treatment (almost 11 since dx!) and I am not sure I can say much that...

Hi Luci, great to hear from you! MK, not so great to read your news though, I cannot imagine what you are dealing with. You are one tough cookie, easy to see where Carolyn get's her strength from...
My insurance paid, but I was dx'ed at 30. I only did the smaller version of testing though, looking for the BRCA mutations that impact the Ashke**** population. We had no other family history so...
Hi and welcome...sorry for the worries you are experiencing. Certainly sounds like you are in the right hands now and taking control to get some answers. I could not even speculate as to the...
Hi TNH, sorry for your troubles. To echo what wise Bev said, it really is a crap shoot. We've known people who defied the odds both ways....those with DCIS that developed into stage IV and those with...
Great clutter post, Bev. Glad things are looking up! :yeah:...
Judy, sorry you are facing this....you are not alone, we're with you. Please let us know the outcome and try to stay busy until then. Lori...
MK, I can hardly believe all this...I don't check HW that much anymore but I am sorry to hear about Carolyn's status. I know you must be hurting so bad now, but at least take comfort in the fact that...
