Call me a bad member/mod, but i don't want to pm you. I'd rather have closure of this thread in this thread.
Not trying to be rude, but you started this thread. It needs closure. us mods can deal with the fucks that disrespect the thread.
Of course though, if the info is too sensitive for you to post in this thread, then PM me. I'll understand.
With all that said though, my Mom had neck cancer. she has been cancer free after the surgery and treatments for 4 years now.

I guess you are right. My feelings are still to fresh and I am sorry.....
Now the doctor found more than the one I found on Saturday and is sending me to get a ultrasound sometime this week. I am truly scared and that is the reason why because my boys are only 12 and 7 and I differently do not want to have to have them watch me go through all that and for the lengths that it will take to get rid of the cancer.

Thanks man I really do appreciate ...You have been a great friend as well as most on here....:happysad:
I understand your fear....I really do.
But, you need the test results first before you worry yourself to death now.
What I am trying to say is, although scary, don't worry yourself until you know for sure. Then, if it's bad, make your plans for your kids.
Freaking out about it beforehand does no good. Knowing for sure what your situation is will give you a better idea of what you need to plan for.
I understand your mind is a wreck right now. Partly because you are thinking the worst.
Wait for the test results and what your options are before you freak out.
I really hope your kids have no idea of it right now until you know for sure. Then, they should never know about it if everything checks out fine.
I hope all is well. I really do.

Sorry to hear about this, Navy. All my happy/loving thoughts I send to you.
Hang in there, sweetheart. You'll be fine.

***WARNING*** The following is un-solicited advise:
While I find your desire to not want your kids to see you go through this to be admirable, it would seem an illogical use of your time. Pondering the worst-case scenario in a situation like this is natural and can be extremely beneficial when we envision how we will handle the outcome should our worst-case scenario materialise. I understand your reasons for not wanting to put your kids through this but watching the strongest woman they know gracefully deal with a very difficult aspect of life, will only better prepare them for any hardships they encounter in their own lives.
Someone once told me that worrying was like praying for things you don't want and I thought that was pretty interesting since reality tends to manifest itself from the thoughts we give the most value.

What I'm getting at, is that it's plausable that this is a false alarm.

[/SIZE][/FONT]Even if it's not a false alarm, chances are good you'll be fine, not saying it won't be a tough ride. I hope it is a false alarm, but if it isn't be glad you found it now, and not in a year or two from now.

No I have not told my boys yet and I have calmed a little so I understand that I need not to freak it was just the shock
of all that has been said and found and all of the day. I am better now thanks to all of you that cared enough to show your concerns and help through this day. I am like I said a little more calm now thanks and I will have a ultra sound sometime this week that hopefully will bring news of what it might be and what they will do for me.

Navy, my aunt and great-aunt both went through breast cancer. In the words of my great-aunt (who is in her late 90's and has not only been in remission for over 10 years, but she was recently elected to the New York State Assembly) to my aunt, "Honey, breast cancer is nothing. Beating it is a piece of cake, you'll be fine"
Lumps are very scary things to find. My aunt was 42 when she found a suspicious lump, and when she went to the doctor's and had it checked out, it was revealed to be benign. I don't know if my great-aunt's was benign or not, but I can tell you this....if the lump is benign, treatment is about a year, if not less. The chemo will make you nauseous and when you undergo radiation they will draw all over you with markers that will look like bizarre tattoos, but my aunt said that was the hardest part.
If I were you, unless told otherwise, assume it's benign. Those ones are the easiest to handle. If a 90 something year old woman can look back on breast cancer and say "Oh it was a piece of cake" then I have tremendous confidence in your ability to go "Oh this is nothing. I can beat this"
If it is benign, you can tell your boys that Mommy has something in her boob that isn't supposed to be there, but it will be gone soon. All Mommy will need sometimes is some help, and she might throw up from time to time, but whatever is making her sick will be gone in about a year's time.

enh.... Doesn't benign mean the tumor is not cancerous, and therefore, doesn't need to be treated at all?

New member
They still treat benign tumors, because they can become cancerous.
te quiero woo woo
New member
I thought they normally just check up on them regularly, and only treat if and when they become malignant, unless the tumor is in a particularly dangerous spot, in which case they can usually be removed surgically without complications. It was my understanding that radiation and chemo are only used on malignant tumors.
