I've been debating making this public... I think its often something people keep to themselves (and now I can understand). I've told those close to me in person so now its time to put it in words. That makes things a little more real I suppose.Late March I went to the doctors for my annual exam. And the thing every woman fears hearing happened. She found a lump in my breast. So yesterday the second step of this not so fun adventure occurred. I had a mammogram and ultrasound. I can assure you what everyone says is true... mammograms are very uncomfortable.
This morning BEFORE 9am my Dr's office called, she wanted to see me today... tomorrow at the latest. It was hard to make it through my work day until it was time for my appointment. The results did not come back clear, I am now to go for a biopsy.
This is very hard news to handle... the worst is the waiting and speculating. Next it will be waiting for the biopsy appointment. Then it'll be waiting for the results, hoping that they're negative for ... Cancer.
The best thing to do... will be is to keep busy, keep stitching I suppose.

Try to take good care of yourself. We're all pulling for you!
Dani,
Hang in there - you have a huge support group with your blog and your stitching groups.
Most biopsies are negative. But looking at it another way, isn't it best to find out for sure?
Meanwhile, stitching helps. Grab Noah's Sub or the SL and have at it.
Good luck lady.
