Thanks for all your support

I posted a few weeks back about awaiting a bladder biopsy. I wanted to let you all know it was negative for cancer. Thank you all for your hugs.

It turned out to be active endometriosis. Which is a mystery in itself considering I have no ovaries, but at least it's not somethng serious.

Thank you all for your hugs and support.

BTW, has anyone ever had a breast lump removed? I have a lump to be removed surgically monday, and am pretty nervous.

Thanks to all you wonderful women. I am prayign for you every day. Your strength and courage is admirable.

Hunny.
I had a breast lump removed oo probably about 2 years ago id say when i was 18. It wasnt bad at all.. I have to say tearing up my knee from sliding in softball felt worse. The feeling in that area will be gone for a while but it slowly comes back and my scar is normal color now. Mine turned out to be a fibrodenoma (sp?). I hope yours is nothing as well. Best of Luck

Happy

I'm happy to hear that it is NOT cancer! No more cancer, ever allowed. Congratulations.

I had a lumpectomy in 1997, actually, two lumpectomies in the same breast at the same time. One lump was atypical lobular hyperplasia, which is not so good, but wasn't cancer, yet. The other was something ductal, benign. They showed up very very tiny on the mammogram, and the atypical hyperplasia also had given me some bloody nipple discharge off and on. Back then, I didn't take cancer very seriously. I thought, if I ever get cancer, I'll KNOW. It will be so awful that I'll know.

Well, the endometrial cancer was not awful and I didn't know. Finally, I went for my checkup and found out.

The breast lump surgery was done outpatient, and wasn't at all bad. I went in, "went out" (as in, went to sleep under anesthesia), woke up in the recovery room, SINGING! How embarrassing! After a while, I went on home.

They had wrapped a stretchy ace bandage around my chest, and there was lots of blue bruising, which looked scary, but it's part of it I guess. I took my pain meds.

Now, I can barely find where they did the surgery.
You will do fine. It's not bad. I remember the needle biopsy beforehand. I didn't feel a thing! I didn't look, either!

Hunny bunch, I"m so relieved for you! Thanks for letting us know how everything went for you.


Sorry, I have no experience with having a lump removed, but I wish you luck there, too!
