Everybody, I need your prayers now. Today I went for a repeat mammogram of my right breast and I was told I had a cluster of calcifications in there. The radiologist told me they are usually benign but they biopsy them to be sure. He said this was a significant change since my last one 2 yrs ago. I am scheduled this Wed for a breast biopsy. I cannot lie, I broke down in his office and again when my husband I were leaving. All this because a GF of mine emailed me a couple of weeks ago and told me she was diagnosed w/breast cancer. I had not been for a mammogram in 2 yrs but after hearing that from her is when I scheduled mine. I am glad I did now. I will keep you all informed but please send me lots of prayers. And for those of you who have NOT had your mammo yet, GO GET IT NOW!
I'm so sorry for this diagnosis. I reacted exactly the same way, and yes. It was cancer BUT I had calcifications the first time in '93..yup, it was dx'ed as both dcis and lcis (ductal carcinoma and lobular carcinoma in situ, means they hadn't spread). Had just a lumpectomy, tho knowing what I know now, I would have had radiation and probably taken Tamoxifan for 5 yrs. 6 yrs ago, after somehow missing a mamogram, they found it again, same breast, same area. This time in addition to the lumpectomy, they did do radiation, plus 5 years of various anti-estrogens. I feel very lucky that it is all behind me now and altho it wasn't too bad, I am ok with it. They just know so much more now....they can test it if it is cancer and find out if chemo is going to be helpful, they can tell if anti-estrogens will work....
There is a ton of info out there, if I can be of any help, if you want to PM me, please feel free.

Today was my lucky day! Recieved a wonderful package today from Mary, lawsonmugs. So many beautiful things made by Mary, the most darling arm chair pin cushion, a manicure set in a custom made case, the sweetest little wall hanging and a cute little sun bonnet that fits right on the handle of a crock pot lid. Beautiul Christmas fat quarters, 6 of them. And a cute square with my favorite comic strip characters on it, good old Earl and Opal from Pickles. And the list goes on, embroidery floss, a crochet hook, 2 great magazines, Raisinettes, awonderful note card and tags on everything all made by Mary. I can't post a picture right now, technical challanges. Hope to be able to do so soon.

Well my sp package went out today to a town that is named after someone that named its town "“the horse center of the Rockies” and later named the ______ _______ Subdivision! That's all I have for now! Great packages coming in ladies/gents! Still waiting on mine.

Yeaaaa I guessed right....however, this super "sluthing" is hard!...so many clues sound like they are for you but then could also be for lots of others too. Reeskylr - your clues seemed to fit me perfectly .... there is no need to rush however as I'm away visiting my family in Texas and won't return until Monday night. We all went to the Houston Zoo yesterday - what a gem and the grandkids loved it.
Woo, you should have it waiting for you. It said it was delivered today!!
