Micro Califications

To all the ladies on this post.  I cannot get to it as it is filled.  I wanted to give you my experience.  I too had my 3rd mammogram on 10/24, I am 40 years old. I was told to come back as they found some funny, but not to worry.  (Easy for them to say). Went for the second on  11/01/2006, I knew something was wrong, call it woman's intuition. Turns out its calcium microcalifications.  Never heard of it before this.  Radiologists advised biopsy within a month.  However where mind is located, I cannot do a needle.  Well turns out it took quite a long time for my doctor to call.  I did not wait for him. I found my own surgeon went to them, they advised this is very very common.  Changes are good that they are bengin.  Anyhow, made my surgery appointment for 11/13/2006.  I am telling you this because DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR DOCTORS, they look at it as something not as urgent.  YOu really realize what statistic you are to them and not a human being.  I finally received a call from my doctor's nurse no less, to tell me what surgeon to go to all after I made the appointment by myself.  YOU HAVE TO BE YOUR OWN ADVOCATE.  DO NOT WAIT FOR YOUR DOCTORS TO TELL YOU WHO TO GO TO.  Its scary, frigthening overwelming, and they don't get it sometimes.  Everyone is in my prayers.  I will hear my results after the biopsy which is scaring me.  Additionally I am getting is all removed.  I would rather do it that way, then have to go back for another should the result me malignant.  I was advised even if it is, it is in such early early early stages, guarantee to be fine with proper treatment.

I'm sorry for all my misspellings, its that I'm typing so fast and not reading ;o).......

Oh and GIRL, you walk with DIGNITY always walk with dignity, and yes you are right, its what we learn from these experiences, we either become negative, which I will say I have been alot since my mom died, but alot of times I haven't, but if we take the REASONS for these things and try to make sense of them, and know "everything happens for a reason", we come out of it better people!!!

Well helloe, I'M SO HAPPY THAT TODAY IS ANOTHER GOOD DAY FOR YOU..I like 310 too.  

YES, I believe I really believe good things come in the end, why do we get tested the way we do?  Because god knows we can handle it........I have to believe that, POSITIVE.

Funny I was reading the other posts and back in Oct you mentioned. I don't look sick, and I'm having good hair days.  SO AM I...too funny.  But I wanted to say, We are not sick, it is a bad cell/tissues in or bodies that we need to ride off.  I lady at work as asking  me about this and  she said "Well you certainly look very healthy"  And my cousin said the same thing.  I wanted to SCREAM I AM.........its just a negative thing in our bodies we most rid of.....

This weekend I will just  take easy, and relax go about my business and get this thing over with....and HOPEFULLY a week from now I will know my results and god forbid it comes back magligant, its STILL GOOD, we caught it in time. Hope you are good and you too do something nice for yourself, enjoy.  I know you are going to be FINE.............believe me you are!!!!

Morning! So glad to find you here. Okay, I need an attitude adjustment and quick! I started smiling...still am, after I read
your posts. Have to admit, #10 made me want to cry, but not in a bad way. It is a beautiful day and I feel myself slowly pulling out of the morning funk. You really think good things come in the end? I guess it's what we take from each experience and what we do with it. I'm trying to walk with dignity and not be a blithering mess. So far, so good!

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to
be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't
like you. (but who wouldn't like you???)
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from
it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another
look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received.  Forget about the
rude remarks.
