I have been very depressed lately because there is so much going on, and I wasn't going to talk about this but now I realize I need to.

My mom found two lumps in her left breast and had them cut out last week, so she's been really uspet and sick. She said the cuts aren't small and the first night they bled alot and she got really sick from the anesthisia, so she stayed up all night throwing up. And as if that's not enough she suffers from major migraines, so that brought on her migraine and she had to go back to the hospital the next day. She is home now, but I worry about her, she gets her results from the biopse (sp?) tomorrow and I hope that those lumps were benign (sp?) sorry I dont' know how to spell all these medical terms. Well, just wanted to share with you all, I've been staying in a constant depressed mode, I don't handle things of this nature well, and with the hurricane, that has me so upset, too. Its just more than I can handle at times. Please keep my mommy in your prayers, I don't know what I'd do without her, if she has cancer, I'm so far away, how will I be abel to take care of her and help her. Please, please pray for her. I can't bare the thought of ever losing her and my four year old little girl is so attached to her, what if something happened to her, how would I help my little baby cope with that, Oh, I just can't even imagine... Please pray that it is not cancer.

CANCER is a very scary word. I remember when my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1999 I cried! I don't care who you are...it is scary. Just realize that it is not a death sentence and many many times breast cancer patients are SURVIVORS!! I will pray for your mother and for you! I hope that you have a relationship with God because He is a God of peace even in times of trouble!

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,whose thoughts are fixed on you!" Isaiah 26:3

Many Blessings,

Cheri

Warm wishes to you and your mom from here too. I can't say I've been through it, but I also think the waiting would just be the worst.

Keep us posted.

Cancer is a horrible disease. But beatable..Remeber that OK? I had to children with cancer at the same time, one survived and one did not . I did not know how I was going to go on, not to mention my mother dying 10 days before my son did . I'm here to tell you, you will get through this. You have lots of love and support here. Lots of prayers. If you ever need anyone to talk to about this please feel free to email me, call me or PM me. I'm here for you. Keep the faith, keep the spirits up. I will keep your mother in my thoughts and wish the very best for her.

You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers......

Estella, my prayers are with both you an your mother...I do mammography's for a living..Please note the the majority of the time, these lumps are benign....I hope your mother is in that category...I'll keep praying...Let us know of the outcome....Con Dios se puede todo!!!..........Cindy

*hugs* Estela. You and your family will be in my prayers.

My sister-in-law has just gone through 6 treatments of chemo and we're now in the waiting stages, to find out if it worked. The not knowing is nerve wrecking!

Please keep us posted and take care of yourself.

Hi Sweetie,

I was wondering what had happened. I'm so terribly sorry to hear that it is this serious and of course my prayers and good thoughts go out to you and your whole family. My Mom had a similar experience last year, but thank God, the tumor was benign. She got over that and another one showed up this year, and again it was benign. Remember there is always hope. Keep the faith and know we are all here for you.

I dont know if our own stories can help you cope with your own. My own mother had malignant mass in her side the size of a very large grapefruit. Dr's said she had a 20% chance of making it through this. This was 14 years ago, and she is here with us now. Medicines and doctors are miracle workers. You and your mom are in my prayers.

My thoughts are with you and your family. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. She caught it early, thank God, and she's finishing up her treatment this week...She's actually coming with me on Friday when I will get banded. Early detection is Key. Good luck to you........the anticipation is terrible, I know.

Estela, I too went through having a lump removed from my breast. I know what your mother is going through right now. Please tell her for me that there is no heartache or pain that Jesus cannot heal! He was with her before the biopsy and he is with her now. The results I pray in Jesus' name will be benign! You are a wonderful daughter!
