Hi all. Been a whirlwind of activity by doctors about my breast.

Jan I saw a specialist about itchiness (for a year), which he dismissed but found something inside that concerned him. Got a diag. mammo. and US and even then the radiologists were alarmed and said I needed a biopsy and then an MRI. Did those - regular biopsies came negative, but they all came back in a fluster saying I must do MRI. Last week, that happened and they said, yes, looks bad. So tomorrow is MRI-biopsy.

Not happy either about procedure or results.

My MRI for this was not great, primarily because of need for contrast. Had to lay arms straight up beyond head and had to choose which way to face my head. Half way thru - esp. after horrible contrast started - my neck and shoulder on 1 side really in pain (long history of neck/head/shoulder pain). Never mind my endless recent head troubles making me dizzy when the table moved. How does one stay absolutely still for all this? The biopsy could mean longer torment.

I am fearful that an MRI is like gold - something ugly in there, MEANS something ugly.

I don't need this at all, particularly for my young son (8) or my mother, who has already dealt with my sister's death (inflammatory BC) hard. And of course also my husband and dad.

Please pray that this isn't cancer!

Continuing to pray for you and your family.

An Act of Hope that you receive some good news from all of the tests and consultations, and can turn the corner on beating this.
