A doctor found something suspicious when she read the results of the breast MRI I had on Friday. What she found is of unknown significance. This means something caught her attention. She just isn't sure what it is. This doctor does know that whatever it is inside my right breast appears to be a low-risk something. But still, there's a concern looming in the air -- for her and for me.
I spoke with my oncologist about this concern, and he told me anything suspicious must be pursued by further testing. I'm thankful for that. He also said he expects that nothing actually significant will come of this. But if it does, it will have been caught early.
On Friday, I will report for further testing -- a mammogram and an ultrasound -- and then I will learn more about this unknown something that inhabits my breast, this something that takes me back more than two whole years when another something turned out to be what I feared more than anything. Breast cancer.
1. I think you have every reason to be concerned! If it is anything at all, then I am glad that you, the Dr, and Oncologist caught it now! My gut feeling tells me everything will be fine.
What is important is not to stand alone through this. Be with family, friends, even some quiet time with your husband, or even alone, just to deal with these feelings of fear and being unsure. Just don't let your fears take you to the dark side.
You are a strong woman, and you will get through this. My heart goes out to you and all others who might be going through something similar. I am sending positive energy your way.
Forgive me for not writing sooner. I was going through some difficulties myself, physically, as well as emotionally. Doing better now. I did miss writing and reading.
So you just hang on Jacki, and know, there are people praying for you.
If you feel like sharing, keep us informed as to what is happening with this.
Chin up! Sincerely, Jason
You're not alone, even though it might feel that way. Take Care!
