Bev, congratulations. 17 years is good. I, too, feel that Breast Cancer gave me so many blessings. Family and friends have been such a big part of my continued recovery. I am thankful for all of you....
Hello all, I have been away from the board for sometime but I wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and that the Lord's Peace be with your Spirit. This past year has been very good and, as...

MK, Been awhile since I have been on the board. I know that your loss of Chuck happened almost a year ago but I wanted to let you know how sorry I am. I lost my Mother in February and still have...

I haven't been on HealingWell in many months only to see the news about Jo-Ann. She is such a great lady and brave soul. My thoughts and prayers are with her. Blessings to all, Candy ...
(((((MK)))))), I do not check in very often but I am to glad I did today. Life fully lived with Chuck seems to agree (or disagree at times) with you both. I am so happy he is having some good days...
Cathi was such a wonderful woman. Filled with courage. I will miss her. Prayers for her, her family, her friends, and all of us here on the board that will miss her. Peace, Candy...

Dear MK, Wow, what a ride you and Chuck have been on. I am so sorry he is going through this. I have both of you in prayers and thoughts. Blessings and a big...
Hi MK: Deja Vu for us here in Ohio. Hurry up and wait. Doc isn't available. Why are you in such a hurry?? It is bad enough to have to wait and ask your questions over and over again without people...
Kath, It was good to see your post, but I am sad at the circumstances. But.....you are strong and fight hard and it appears that they found it at an earlier stage. Have peace while you are making...
Hi Chris, My normal breast is full of microcalcifications that we have been looking at for about four years. Yes, it can be a precurser to cancer and that is why we keep looking, but so far the...
I pray that Chuck is getting some relief. I have you both in my prayers and thoughts. Blessings, Candy...
Glad Chuck got good results from his testing. Hope the pain goes away or at least fades soon. My DD is still waiting for a dx. She has two problems, one being the brain adnormalities and she is...
/community/emoticons/rolleyes.gif MK, I know just what you are saying. I will have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Glad you are taking your advise about not worrying. It sure doesn't...
MK, Just saw your post and wanted to let you know you and your friend will be in prayers. My DH is showing pre-cancerous cells in his colon that was found last September. They removed the polyp but...
Thank you so much for your responses. I knew I would find support here and the whole story. My daughter had an MRI Wednesday and the Doctor called with results yesterday. They found 5 white spots on...
Hello everyone, I am a member of the Breast Cancer Board and I have found much needed support over the years from people that actually are experiencing the disease. I came to this board because my...
Dear All, Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Mother, within a 6 week time, found a lump, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, had a lumpectomy, and only needs to see the doctor every 6 months...
Bernadetter, You, your friend and her family are in my prayers, Blessings, Candy...
Sweet Cathy, I too am beyond words except to tell you that I love you and you and yours will be in my prayers. God's Peace be with you, Candy...
Thanks,for your thoughts and prayers. The doc's office changed her appointment to tomorrow so we are in that hurry up and wait mode. Mom is starting to worry and have some fear. I KNOW what that is...

Willow May, Get to a doctor and have it checked out. 17 year old ladies can get breast cancer, as MMMNAVY mentioned it is unlikely, but something is going on and you need a doctor's check up. See...
Hello Dear Ones, A month ago I was in the throws of controlled fear waiting for PET scan results from my left lung. My breast cancer could have metastisized and it seemed like a long wait and see...
Hi Cathy, I admire and respect you so much. You have handled this illness with such bravery and class. You will be in my prayers for relief and peace. I hope that you can stay in touch and let us...
Linda, I received your e-mail and thought I would respond this way. As MK has mentioned it is hard to know what to expect without path reports. I was dx'd almost 5 years ago. I had a very rare form...
Happy birthday Ellen. /community/emoticons/yeah.gif My husband and I just celebrated our BIG birthdays too. "yikes 60". It can't be true. Hope all is well with you and yours, Candy...
Gail, I didn't get the attachment. Just the date. Blessings ladies, Candy...
Hi all, I opened my e-mail this morning and a message from Connie Pawling was in my inbox. My heart skipped a few beats and moved up into my throat. Just a date in the message 3-4-05. I remember her...
Cathi, I am not on the site very often, but I am so glad that I came today. You are such an inspiration to all of us. You are a fighter. I will continue to have you in my prayers along with all the...
Haven't been around to much lately. The Lord certainly leads me to where I need to be. I am so sorry to hear about Vicki. I will pray for her family and friends and that Peace be with her. L & H...
MK, Thanks so much for updating us on Jo-Ann. I think about her often and miss her postings. Hope she feels better soon, of course it could be sooner if she called a doctor. But......then I am not...
Peace be with her, her family and her friends. Hugs, Candy...
YOUR LIFE AS IT IS TODAY. /community/emoticons/eyes.gif [u][color=green> CANDY ...
Exactly who are you Etchie and where do you come from. I was diagnosed with B/C 4 years ago and I have diagnostic mammo every 6 months. I have been covered under 3 different insurance plans and they...
Jo-Ann, It is so nice to hear from you. PC problems are the worst. Our operating system went out in March and we had the Geek Squad back-up data. Then install a new OP. I am the family genealogist...
1. No it did not hurt. Uncomforable but not painful. 2. No. All I can say is ditto to Lori's reply. A few minutes (or seconds) of discomfort is worth a LIFE time of prevention. Hugs to you, Candy...
Bernadette: I hope you feel well very soon. At times it feels like nothing can be easy and quick. There can be so many complications especially with those nasty drains. I was so happy to get rid of...
Like Ellen said "Breathe"! It sounds wierd but once decisions have been made about B/C possibilities and tests have been decided on and what type of therapy you need, it becomes NOT AN EMERGENCY....
Hey Ellen, I am excited about seeing your creation. Get that tech side of you up and running. What a wonderful thing you are doing. I know this site saved me and has kept my strength and courage up....
Hello, MK has given you very good advise. Please keep informed and do as much research you can on breast cancer. Knowledge is power and it beats back the fear. Keep us up to date and do not hesitate...
Yea!! I am so happy to hear the news. Take care of yourself, Deb. Hugs, Candy...
Hi Deb, Hope you have a quick recovery. I will be thinking about you and praying for good results. Hugs, Candy...
Hey Ellen, Remember we like to hear fluff too. I hope all goes well with your tests and enjoy the good drugs they give you. Blessings, Candy...
I agree with Jo-Ann. There is absolutely no reason to not request a mammogram or possible ultra-sound. NO REASON. I really only say this because of the age thing. None of us are to young to have a...
It is a very good idea to talk to your gyn and see a surgeon that the gyn refers you to. Don't wait. Keep us advised. Hugs, Candy...
First, welcome to the board, even though it is for a disconcerting reason. The women here are wonderful and will help. Second, call the doctor and if for no other reason ask for a referral to a...
Sorry about those pesky drains. But keep motion down to a minimum and they will come out sooner. I will be thinking about you on the 12th. My lift on the good side was perky too. But I am so glad...
