Got the letter today saying that everything is normal. Just so strange that she had to more pictures. Maybe she thought she saw something but was nothing. So guess I will hanging around a little longer. Feeling very sad tonight...realizing yet again that Alicia is gone. I simply do not want to believe it. Love to you all!

    Not strange, sometimes the position of the breast or the films are not placed accurately. Glad everything is OK. Sorry for your sadness. I can't believe it most days either. It seems like I'm in a movie and just acting. Waiting for them to say cut and go back to normal. Hoping tomorrow is better. Much love. Robin

    Glad everything is ok, I have those types of redoing the mammograms too, seems like everytime I go for one, it's "Oh we need to get another picture", Better safe than sorry I guess. Love to you, Bev

    I am glad your mammogram came back normal.

    However, I have heard breast cancer has a high cure rate. I know someone who did nothing about her breast cancer for 4 years. Then she changed her mind and fought the disease for 5 more before she died. So it took 9 years before the cancer took her. Most (not all)breast cancers grow very slow. I hope you are feeling at peace.

    I'm happy you got good news.

    I know about the 'not believing' part. A part of me still expects to see Jim come down the stairs with his,. "Hi Mom." My heart would always leap when I heard that. When I'd call him or when he woke. How I miss that. And still on some level can't believe I'll never hear it again.

    with love,

    Sus

    Great news - maybe it was a shadow or something. At least they went that extra little bit to make sure it was nothing.

    Lana, I like you have lost all my children, but, unlike you I am blessed to have a husband and grandkids. I have an 84 yr. old Mother, and 2 sisters. My Mom and sisters are far away. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2006. I had surgery (2) and chemo and radiation. In August I had my 3rd clear mammogram. I have thought about it alot, what would I do if it comes back? A part of me wants to do nothing and just go to end the ache in my heart that never ends. But the other part of me that continues to love my husband and grandkids, tells me, I'd have to fight it. The thought of the treatment is a dreadful thought to me. I lost my youngest son in April 2003, so I entered into Cancer with the attitude that "I have already been through the worst thing a woman can go through,loosing my child, cancer is not nearly that bad. " Since then I am cancer free for now, bit I also lost my only other child in DEC 2007, and my beautiful step daughter very soon after him, and now I do not have as much fight left in me. I can truly understand where and why you would wonder what path to take. I have concluded for myself, it is God's choice. The whole thing, all of it. the loss of our kids, and my cancer, and weather or not to fight it? I think I put that too in God's hands. I will fight it. Not because I want to, but because it seems only right to leave it up to God, and he has provided the treatments that are very sucessful now. I won't say it is for you to do it my way. You must do things your way in your time. I just understand why you would consider NOT getting treatment. Some folks may not get or understand that,BUT I DO
