Thank you.
Thanks, Sal!
(((((Sending Prayers)))))
You’re Welcome, hang IN there !
Prayers up. I’m going in for a biopsy on my right boob on Tuesday. They don’t think it’s much.
First to you, and anyone reading this thread, the most important part was being diagnosed early. This means, yearly pap smears. I hated going every year for a pap smear and I'm pretty sure most women do as well. However. you don't have a bad pap smear until you have a bad pap smear. I went to the OB for decades before receiving my diagnoses. You just never know, I didn't feel much different than any other time I had gone for one; but, that one was different. So --- do the yearly pap smear. Catching it early is a really good thing.
Next, I had problems with depression for, what seemed, my entire life. After I had, had the hysterectomy, my depression was gone. It really was connected to my hormones and I feel that this surgery really improved my quality of life.
Last, one downside that I have had was that I began losing my hair. Now I have very fine hair, -- not much hair at all. So losing some of my hair ended up giving me male pattern baldness. For people without such thin hair, your thicker hair may just get a bit thinner.
So, that is my experience with this type of cancer. I recovered quickly and, in my particular situation, I felt I had an improved quality of life. But, my experience is not most experiences. But, I thought the info might help. Good luck.
behold the power of prayer
Thanks, LibertarianLiz for your good comments and for telling your story. Glad your situation ended well and your recovery was good.
Yes, about the importance of yearly pap smears.
OH, I will be praying for you, Mercat! Prayer that your situation is a good one.
Thanks for your prayers for me.
Thanks so much for the prayers, Kitty Mittens. It means a lot!
Yes, the power of prayer is mighty!
Will pray for you and for a quick recovery.
Prayers up.
And hugs to you.
IF you have to have cancer, Stage One is what you want to hear. My beloved was diagnosed with another form of Stage One cancer now 7, almost 8, years ago and is surviving very well. Our prayers are with you.
Thank you so much for your prayers!
I really appreciate your prayers = and the HUGS!!!!!!
Yes, I am very blessed to hear “stage one” = glad your beloved is doing well. That’s great!
And thsnk you so much for your prayers!!! They mean so much to me.
Prayed for you and my 5 year old granddaughter did too. May God bless you and be your rod of strength during this time.
Thank God it is early stage. The methods and equipment for early diagnoses now are amazing.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 and had a mastectomy. The tumor was extremely small (didn’t need mastectomy, but had one anyhow for “insurance”). Two years earlier it wouldn’t have been detected. Prayers for you. I will share with my Sunday School class and add to our prayer list.
You’ve been on FR since I started browsing back in 1998 (I didn’t join till years later). Just sayin’, prayers up! God bless
