Like zouzi, I've been following your posts and I'm SO happy to hear about your benign results! It is always GREAT to get this kind of good news on this site and I'm really happy for you!
I started responding to questions and posts here because everyone was so kind and informative to me when I first came here. I'm glad to hear you'll do the same to provide support to others in similar circumstances. Sometimes just a few words can make a huge difference. Thank you for that, and I'm wishing you all the best.
Sending you a happy hug from Michigan ( )! ,

Hey, that's wonderful news--you've made my day!
I'm glad you found some company and comfort through joining our community.
I hope you'll come back and visit now and then, and maybe "pay it forward" by offering support and encouragement to someone else who is facing the same lonely, difficult time that you have just gone through.
Wishing all the best as you go on with your life, with peace of mind!

Hi there,
Although other wonderful members have responded to your post, I've been following your thread being concerned about you...
You can't imagine how glad we all feel when we hear the word "BENIGN"
This is wonderful news! Congratulations!!
Wishing you a long,happy and healthy life.... :)
It's been a month since I joined this community. I did it because I was scared and looking for alternatives to manage something unknown -the possibility of having breast cancer. This time showed me that there is people that still cares, even strangers that you'll probably never get to know. That is a really big thing that helps a lot in the middle of a really lonely time...
For me, this was only a really big scare, my results were benign, and for that, I'm really thankful. But for those other people, I have you in my prayers, in my mind and in my heart... Bless you...
Yes, I have... I feel much better today...
Thank you!
Thanks for the update!
I'm glad you have such a caring and helpful doctor.
Have you been putting ice packs (off and on for short periods of time) on the sore areas? They can help with the swelling and inflammation.
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping for favorable results...
Wishing you all the best,

Thank you all for your support. My appointment went as well as it could have considering the situation. My doctor is very kind and she explained absolutely every detail for me. I had two biopsies on Monday/Tuesday so I feel very sore right now... I'll get my results next week...
Again, thank you very much...
As backup to the comments by SueYoung55 and me, I am sending you a private message containing an article recommending evalauation of all breast lumps in younger women, due to the possible severity of BC in young women when it does occur.
Hope your consultation goes well tommorow!

Thank you for your blessings, my appointment is on Wednesday... I'm a little nervous about it... let's hope for the best...
I agree with bluebutterfly2222 wholeheartedly. Age has nothing to do with this except when old school doctors forget that there is a whole new generation of young women getting breast cancer every single day.
Please get the biopsy. It's always better to know early than not. I'm sending blessings your way that this is NOTHING at all! Best wishes as you move forward.
Thank you, I'll go for that second opinion... I'll keep you posted...
As you probably know, BI-RADS Categtory 4 carries a recommendation for biopsy, and to me it makes sense to at least do a core biopsy of the 1.5 cm nodule with irregular borders. (If it turns out benign, at least you will have peace of mind.)
One option would be to ask for a referral to another surgeon for a 2nd opinion.
Best wishes,
