Lump on my Breast

[Teresa]

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I found a lump on my breast and I am waiting to find out what it is right now and a million things are running through my mind......... It is ironic that this would happen the week of the anniversary of Tony's death.

My desire to live is strong no matter what the results say.........

[HetHert]

:hugz: :hugz: :hugz: T!!!

I hope it's nothing worse than a cyst. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers my friend. Keep your thoughts as positive as you can.

(Ankh, Ut'a, Seneb)Life, Prosperity, and Health to you!

[Cunae]

You are in my strongest prayers, too. Remember that a lot of women have harmless cysts.

[Cloaked Raven]

Sending energy, warm thoughts, prayers, love and hugs to you Teresa. :hugz:

My mom had a lump in her breast too... It turned out to be a cyst and she's okay. She told me that her doctor said that 90% or more of breast lumps are harmless and benign.

I remember that week... :hugz: More love coming your way. :hugz:

[Nesta]

You are in my thoughts :hugz:

[Catiana]

:hugz: and positive energy sent that its nothing serious

[moonbride]

My desire to live is strong no matter what the results say.........

And no matter what the results say you will be fine, ma'am! You are a strong woman... of that I have no doubt.

My thoughts and good vibes are with you, sweetie. Hang in there and keep positive :hugz:

[WitchJezebel]

Have you already had a mammogram or was this from a self exam? A couple of years ago I found a small lump in my breast and after a mammogram and a sonogram I had to get a biopsy. They were fibroids that I had removed and they were benign.

Please don't stress yourself until results come in. Believe me I was very nervous about it, but you'll make yourself sick with worry. I'm sure all is fine :hugz:

[Glowy]

Hugs and calming, lovinc evergy for you.

[HorseCrow]

:hugz: :hugz: :hugz:

[Sennefer]

:hugz: You are in my thoughts.

[Snapdragon]

Detection is good.

If you are in a coven or circle, I trust you will turn to those closest to hand for their healing support. Energy always works best, the more informed and the closer it can be.

[alwaysfallingup]

:hugz: I hope that it's something that is a non-issue!

[Dio]

Ah Theresa, my thoughts are with you. My hope is that you find peace and serenity while you are waiting for your results. I'll be wishing for a positive outcome for you.

[DreamSpell333]

I will be thinking of you, theresa. I hope it is nothing more than a cyst.. :hugz:

[WitchOfEndor]

Teresa, my lil witchlets & I will be keeping you in our thoughts & sending supportive energy your way :hugz:

[Lunacie]

Cysts and fibroids are much more common than tumors. I had a lump about 10 years ago, turned out to be quite benign but I didn't want to fool around. I asked for a lumpectomy rather than a simple biopsy. The bruising afterwards was almost the scariest part. Besides having one side a whole cup size smaller than the other for a few years. They evened out again though. :smile:

Sending good thoughts and healthy outcome energies. :hugz:

[Shawn Blackwolf]

Top of my thoughts , Teresa !

May it be the most benign , and temporary lump ,
and may your guides , protectors , and angels be
watching over you...

Your desire to live long and prosper , is what I
shall hold for you...:thumbsup:

[Anthony41671]

You will be in my thoughts!!!

[watersprite]

You are in my heart and I send you many hugs and prayers.

[aluokaloo]

energy sent :hugz:

[Willow Rosette]

Oh honey you are in my prayers that it turns out to be nothing more than a cyst!! :hugz:

[Clair de la Lune]

Teresa,

I think it is great that you have detected it. I know that a lot of women unfortunately are not very self-aware, and when they find something, some women are too scared to find out what it is so they put it off. I think you are a very strong and brave woman. I always have. :)

My Mom had a lump and they found that for a couple years they just watched it until it went away on it's own.

I pray that the same goes for you.

I am sending you healing and comforting energy, and :hugz:

Blessings,
Clair

[SilverClaw]

Not able to send much right now but you are certainly in my thoughts :hugz:

[Brightshores]

:hugz: Good health to you - may this be nothing to worry about.

[Bettie]

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers... :hugz:

[Sequoia]

Energy and prayers sent for nothing dangerous at all!!!

But no matter what, you're a strong one... hang in there. :hugz:

[WynterWynd]

Oh sweetie:hugz: Energy sent that it be nothing more than a pesky ol cyst :hugz:

[Invidosa]

Oh, honey how unnerving!! strength and blessings to you for this, whatever the outcome. :hugz: and more :hugz: and as others have already said, finding it is half the battle! be strong lady!

Oh Great Lord Marduk, turn the eye of Ea towards this wrongness on the body of Theresa. Marduk, who is Lord of Fifty Names, I beseech you to use your word that is unchangable let this moment be but a trifle upon Theresa's life, a moment that passes joyfully so that she may live in strength and health for all of her days.

Beloved Lady Ishtar, I am your daughter. Oh Passer of the Gates, I ask you to please burn the wrongness out of my friend Theresa, so she may live free and happy all of her days

my heart is yours.

[Sage Rainsong]

Oh my! I'm sure hope that it is nothing. Energy sent.

[Willow Rosette]

Any news??

[Gypsyballad]

Teresa, I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I also hope that the lump is just a cyst or a fibroid.

You are a strong woman, and I know that you will be able to fight this, and come up victorious. :hugz:

[Teresa]

Any news??

They rescheduled my apt for Tuesday, it was originally scheduled for today, so no news yet.

[BearDancing]

[Teresa]

Hi all!

The Tuesday appointment turned into me getting a confirmation of the lump and also knowing that one lymph node was also swollen almost the same size. The Health Dept worked me in with a Doctor's Group with a referral and a speedy appointment on Thursday the 16th(today)...................................

So.....

I went this morning and I have to go back next Thursday for another appointment. The Health Dept referred me and is paying a major portion of my bill. The Health Dept told me to prepare for a needle biopsy to be done today with the guided ultrasound. This would be done after they made some pictures of the lump and lymph node. I did everything I was told to do. They did not check the box saying for these Doctors to perform the biopsy, Sigh!

What I was told is that the ultra sound shows vascular activity in all 3 which usually means the lesions are cancerous. The doctor told me to prepare myself for the real possibility of this. They will get the test results back in 3 business days from Thursday........ So they will call me on that Monday and set up an appointment to go over treatment options depending on the results.I could tell by her face that with the family history of breast cancer that I have that she thinks I have cancer. Ooooooooo now I have 2 swollen lymph nodes with lesions in them instead of just one. They will biopsy the lymph area and the lump.

Thomas says prepare for them saying I have breast cancer and prepare for fighting it and don't worry we will beat this. He was with me at the doctor's office and got the same feeling from the doctor and I didn't tell him what I felt from her facial expression and body language. He brought it up.

Just wanted to give you an update! Keep me in your prayers and energy work please.

Sincerely,
Tea

I would be pleased and honored to do distance reiki on you my friend.

Oh noes. :( Sorry to hear the news wasn't better. When I found a lump I asked to have the whole lump removed rather than waiting for results from a needle biopsy and then possibly going back to have the lump removed. Thankfully my lump was benign, but then the cancer in my family tends to begin in the reproductive tract rather than the breast.

Sending good thoughts and energies for the best outcome, for compassionate medical care, and for a return to full heath. :hugz:

[brigidrose]

I will send healing energy ande something to unblock whatever it is... if your body makes it it can get rid of it ...if conditions are right.... sending that energy too.....


I had a lump a couple of years ago... did reiki, supplements and acupuncture... this was found with touch, so there wasn't any x-ray or ultra sound.... I waited, it was my choice, for 3 weeks, it was gone and mamogram showed everything was clear.

[DaNcInG_WiNd]

Oh gods Theresa, I am so sorry I am late on this. I didn't see this until today. You have all my thoughts and energy with you that you find out it isn't cancer. But if it should be, I will send whatever healing I can to help you fight this. (((((HUGS)))))

That was most likely a fibrocystic lump, caused by too much caffeine in the diet or by homonal fluctuations. They come and go.

But someone with a family history of breast cancer should certainly be checked out by a doctor and probably have a biopsy to be certain it's not something serious.

[Cunae]

Don't assume the worst but always check it out. With your permission, prayers your way!

Teresa Im so sorry Im just now seeing this. You are absolutly in my prayers and when you start to fight this my friend, you will have even more!!

[Corvis Canis Latrans]

:hugz: to you.

You'll beat this.

One thing I want to pass on to you. I'm no expert, but out o curiosity tend to read lots of science books and articles.....one of the interesting tidbits I come across again and again is that everyone has cancerous cells, and sometimes tumors that they never know about because the body does get them to go into remission on its own.

Get treatment, you know it's there and you can help your body, but keep in mind that the body does fight it on its own as well.

More :hugz: to you and keep your hope and optimism up. You'll beat it!

CCL

[Jrdyn]

Your optimism will get you through this.
Sending you healing energy and strength. May you have all you need and more to beat it.

[WitchJezebel]

You're a tough cookie Teresa, you'll get through this. My prayers are with you.

[Teresa]

I got the call for the results of the biopsy yesterday evening about 45 minutes into my shift at work. The doctor said this is an aggressive cancer and that she was scheduling me an appointment with the surgeon asap to discuss my situation.

Well I just got the call and my appointment is tomorrow morning at 9:45 AM. The surgeon is coming in to the office solely to meet with me. One thing that I can say is that this group of doctors have been quick about taking care of me quickly even though I am low income and have no insurance. For that I am thankful.

Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I want to live and right now I find my mind wandering back to when I lost my Aunt to this horrible disease. I do know there has been great medical advancement since then but I do not want anyone to see this take the life and fight out of me as I witnessed it do to her.

Fight hard, Teresa, you have my support!

[Lunacie]

I have lost 4 family members to cancer and so far my daughter is the sole survivor (not breast cancer in any of those cases). So you've definately got my support and I send you energy to fight this with all you've got and WIN. :hugz:

I'm so sorry to hear this Teresa. Many :hugz: to you. I do want to let you know that a wonderful lady in my office fought a very aggressive breast cancer, and is at 3 1/2 years cancer free.

You are a fighter, and you can do this, especially since it sounds like you have a good group of fast moving doctors.

Much love to you Theresa. :hugz:

[Teresa]

This morning I had my first appointment with the Group of Doctors who will be handling my cancer treatments. There is great concern that the cancer may have spread to other parts of my body. They have me scheduled for some CTs next Wednesday and then they wish to immediately start my Chemo treatments first to ensure that any cells that may have wandered from this site die.

They want to do this first so they can tell if the Chemo is working on the lump and the lymph nodes shrinking them. After a few rounds of Chemo, I will have to have my breast removed due to the location of this lump. Then I will under go Radiation Therapy.

I will lose my hair and they will provide me with a wig. Never in a million years did I imagine that I would benefit from kind souls who donated their hair to Locks of Love just as I did last August when I chopped off all my long hair.

Thankfully I have a person named Grace who navigates treatment for people without insurance and who are low income. She is already a blessing. Today she told me that I am getting medicaid through the Health Dept and that will cover all of my medical bills. She is also setting up appointments with an Internal Doctor to monitor my diabetes and blood pressure during all of this.

During my next trip to the Office they will give me a handbook which will give me more details of what treatments I am going to under go and explain them and also tell me side effects etc.

Some how ironically, I know that I am supposed to do something because of my diagnosis. There is a reason why I just happened to be the one woman out of eight who is touched by this disease. It is now my job to discover why and to become proactive and get out of this depression that is spinning me around.

I think Grandma was right about the lemons and lemon-aid. Some how I will turn this around into a positive thing. Please keep me and Thomas in your prayers and thoughts. We need any support we can get right now.

Thanks so much for being such wonderful friends to me.

Love,
Tea

[Cassie]

Some how I will turn this around into a positive thing.
Yes you will.

Please keep me and Thomas in your prayers and thoughts.
Every day. :hugz:

[WitchJezebel]

All the healing energy I can give is yours; my prayers are with you.

[Lunacie]

I'm so glad you have someone to help you navigate the monetary side of getting good medical treatment. The last thing you need now is worries about how to pay for getting healthy. Supportive energies still flowing your way.

[Sequoia]

I'm thinking of you. Hang in, keep on keepin' on. You're strong, Teresa. You're going to make it.

[Hope]

Well the good news is that many people know a LOT about Breast Cancer, the treatment protocols; from when chemo starts, how long it lasts, radiation, that tat process, family support meetings and more.

Start to finish. Even from lumpectomy to full mastectomy.

So you can know you are not alone, and that people have heard the diagnosis before, walked that path and are well versed in what is systematic treatment versus local treatment and more.

That is good because you are not breaking any new ground, you can easily talk with many people that understand it all top to bottom. And can easily offer you solid support of what makes sense, and where you could consider a second opinion. Connection and support is key!

The sad part of that of course is the number of people that are touched and how it forever impacts their life and that of their friends and family.

Have you considered how long you will be able to do your current job? Will there be some funding to help you??

Best wishes to you, and each person that is now from here forward forever effected by your news.

Healthy thoughts!!

love

Ah, I need to wander out of my tarot hermitage every now & then. Sorry to have missed this before now.

Hugs, reiki and all sorts of healing energies are being sent your way from me & mine.

You won't just survive, you'll be victorious, I'm sure!

Just stopping back in to check on things and let you know you are still, and will always be, in my thoughts. :hugz: and strength to you.

This past Wednesday I had surgery to place a port a cath in my chest to be used for IVs and shots and for them to draw blood work from and save my veins. Chemo begins on the 24th at 9 AM. I have lost 26 pounds since my first office visit in less than a month. It is my hope that the weight loss will level out soon. Some of the medications I am taking upset my stomach but are just common side effects in the beginning.

Thank You Everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers and energy sent. Words do not suffice the level of gratitude and warmth I feel for each one of you!

[Lunar Raven]

I'm sorry you have to deal with this Teresa -- and while I can't all too personally relate, I'm sure it's scary thing. I know the feeling of that. None the less, you will pull through..and once you have, you'll be a stronger person. I watched my neighbor (my best friend's mom) struggle with breast cancer, and loose her hair, and become sick -- but after all that, she's living cancer free and healthier than ever! Positive thinking and support is the key. You are in my thoughts..and I wish you the best. Healing energy sent!

I have lost 26 pounds since my first office visit in less than a month. It is my hope that the weight loss will level out soon. Some of the medications I am taking upset my stomach but are just common side effects in the beginning.

Thank You Everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers and energy sent. Words do not suffice the level of gratitude and warmth I feel for each one of you!

:hugz: Tea! I'm washing my breast cancer shirt (says breast cancer across the front in hot pink but the r and s are blackened letters so what you read is b ea t cancer), so I can wear it today and think of you and remember to say my prayers and keep you in my thoughts! You can do this!
