Just got back from New Mexico....beautiful state and awesome trip! Great first day of school. Had my mammogram today. All went well..at least so I thought. After I thought I was done, the tech came back in and wanted to do more pictures. Maybe that is normal but has never happened before. But it doesn't really matter. If I have cancer, I am not going to do anything about it anyway. I have no reason to stay here...no one left who needs me. So will just let go...and go.

    I've heard New Mexico is beautiful. Glad you had a good time. I'm sure the additional films were just because they didn't get a good shot the first time. I've had that happen. Lots of people need you, we need you here! Love to you. Robin

    I'm glad you enjoyed your time away! Please don't rush to assume that you have cancer, and saying that nobody needs you, simply is not true. All of us moms need you,..you have been and continue to be an inspiration to all of us! Your daughter would be so proud of the support and compassion you give to others. God be with you, Hon! Love, Judy

    I second what Judy has to say! Don't assume you have cancer...a lot of women are told to get an ultrasound or something further due to the density of their breasts. My mammograms are never decisive because of that.

    Don't you have a foreign exchange student with you? She needs you!

    My love to you,

    Susannah

    Lana, you are needed and loved by many !!! Like Robin said, it is probably because they did not get it right the first time. I will keep you in my prayers. Glad you had a good time in New Mexico !! Hugs, Kim

    Breast cancer treatment is not near as bad as loosing a child. Don't give up. You give alot to me and other moms on ds. I love you. I do understand though that it is hard to think about fighting to live when life hurts this much. Please! Love Peggy

    I can only be honest, Lana. If they were to tell me that I had cancer, I refuse treatment. That being said, I hope that your 2nd scan comes back healthy. I do need you and so do other folks, but I can understand why you would want to just check on out. Love, Belinda

    I understand how you feel...in Feb. had a mammogram and ultrasound in both breasts. They rescheduled me to return in 6 months. since April I have swollen axillary nodes under my left arm, my shoulder and upper back aches. Ok it is 7 months I am dragging my feet. I do not care to go....do not want to know. If there is something wrong then what? So what!

    There are people who need you, although I understand how you feel. It's just that death is not a scary/horrible thing to us anymore. But please don't check out. You are here for a reason. And Belinda and Astrid , you are too! Please take care of yourselves. Love, Julia
