A very nice woman and a friend of mine called me this morning with some grim news...she sold us our house last August. An MRI of her knee showed a tumor....she is beside herself as her husband had a large tumor(cancer) wrapped around his aorta 3 years ago...he made an amazing recovery, and needless to say, she was emotionally and physically drained from tht experience. My heart breaks for her...I have my cancer test on Tues. and I know the fear of it all....poor thing....has to wait until Monday for a biopsy appt. I hope to God it isn't cancer and any prayers would be more than welcome. Her name is Monica...she is a devout Christian and a wonderful person. Thanks in advance, Sharonn
S I will say a prayer for her.How very sad.As for you I will be thinking of you on Tuesday.I had to have that done,& they actually had to put me all the way out because of the pain in my intestines.
Ive learned...(more this past year than ever)to count EVERY positive thing I have & bust my butt trying not to dwell on the small stuff or sadness.Everyday can be a blessing!!!
Love...s

Sharonn,
I know you will not rest easy til it is over but try to focus on the FACT that biopsies are done all the time now - I know so many people personally who have had a biopsy be it the breast, lungs, skin, its amazing. The reason is that doctors now have the tools at their disposal. When there is just a 1% chance it seems they request a biopsy and why not? Better to rule everything out. Since there is a test for something, a doctor would be foolish and negligent not to take advantage of that test. Again, I know this will weigh heavy on your mind til its over but DO try to stay focused on the fact that this is nothing more than a process of elimination for your doctor and they always want to eliminate the worst first. NONE of us knows what tomorrow will bring. At least you are getting the medical care you need which everyone should be doing.
