Another setback, how many more?

First I do have good news, I decided to join Curves with Miss Rhonda. She is such a motivator and a great workout partner.  Tonight I went to my seminar with Pacific Bariatric. Hopefully I will get a consult appt. soon.

Now the setback. On Monday, I went for my first mamogram (just turned 40 last year). I was leary, but it wasn't as bad as some of the stories I heard. This afternoon, I got a phone call. I have to go to the Kaiser Hospital in Fontana to do a special machine. They show a mass in my left breast. They want me to go in in the morning (Thursday).

I'm kinda scared, but I have faith. I have had a lot happen to me in my 40 years of life, and I have overcome everything. I'm a cancer champion, I've lost my vision and eventually my left eye. I am a survivor, but I feel like this is just 1/2 oz too much. I'm afraid to ask, how much more? I know I should be asking why not me, instead of why me, but . . .

I'm sorry for going on and on, I just need to let it out, Thank you for listening my friends.

Michelle, I'm sorry you are going through all this. Many of the findings on initial mammograms turn out to be benign. I hope this will be the case for you. Try not to worry until you have something definite to worry about.

I hate how they have to scare you so much with this kind of stuff, but at least they aren't making you wait! I'm sure it will be nothing and I will be praying for that!!!  You've already proved you are a fighter, so hang in there!!
As for having to go to PacBar, you will be in GREAT hands there! All the surgeons are AWESOME, but of course I am partial to Zorn. And if you have it here, I can visit you in the hospital, woo hoo!!!
So glad you and Rhonda are workout buddies, that helps so much and she is quite the inspirationist (is that a word? lol)

Don't apologize for asking us for support, that is what we are here for sweetie!!! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Becky,

Thank you, I would love for you to visit! I always enjoy talking to you. I just have to return my test and medical history and they will set up my consult. I will let you know who I get as a surgeon.

My dear,

You will be in my prayers for sure.  I have a feeling that this is going to turn out just fine and everything is going to be just fine.  I am keeping you in my prayers that this is nothing.  You are such a trooper and making so many positive changes in your life.  This what ever it is is not more thanyou can handle.  You are a strong woman that is getting stronger each and every day.   We are here for you to support you, love you and send you hugs (((((hugs))))).  I am the lucky one, I live close enough to give you a real hug.  I am free this afternoon so if you want to go and work out later (they are open till 7:00) give me a call and I will come and pick you up.    You let me know how it goes today.

Thank You Rhonda!

I am so glad your feeling was right. Thank you for your thoughts, hugs, and prayers. Well, I just got off the phone with you. So I will see you in the morning bright-eyed and bushy tailed! *** will you settle for half-mast eyes and a droopy tail, lol!).

Hugs & Friendship Always,

Michelle T.

{{{HUGS}}} Definitely let it out..It's probably less serious than the first thought so keep the faith and keep the survivor attitude..It could be nothing.
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!
