Hi--I think you meant me instead of Quilter7x? They are sending me to a breast cancer center too for my tests so maybe that's not as ominous as it sounds. They also told me I'd get my results while I'm there and to be sure to ask for the cd of the tests so I can take it to my other doctors if needed. Sounds as if we're being told the same info. That's reassuring a little.
I go on 3-11-10. I'll be keeping good thoughts for you on 3-12-10. Let me know how yours turns out, OK?

Rosanne (and everyone who sent me encouragement)---I hope I'm posting this in the correct spot. Again I don't want to butt into everyone's congratulations for the original poster, but I wanted to update the members who've sent me such nice messages while I was waiting to have my tests. The tests are done! All clear too. They couldn't even see the lump that my doctor feels. They did my mammograms twice this morning because the Radiologist thought he saw something in my other breast and wanted another angle of my left breast. Then after reading the second set I had the ultrasound. Nothing shows. I'm happy and relieved.
Rosanne--I am praying your mammograms tomorrow turn out as well as mine. Let us know.

Congratulations! What a wonderful graduation day. Keep quilting, it's a wonderful relaxation and therapy. Far less side effects than nerve pills and better results. You will be fine and be turning out works of quilted beauty for many years to come.

Congratulations! I finished my radiation end of May and have been on the pill since June last year. So far so good, and no side effects that I am aware of! It's great to be done with the radiation, isn't it?

Congratulations! The last day of treatment is one you'll never forget! I'm a BC survivor, too, and I just got my 3rd haircut since finishing treatment.
