Hi everyone, I need some additional prayers over the next couple of weeks. I have known for years that I have a condition in my breasts called Fibercystic Tumor Disease, however, I have found several small new lumps over the last several days. Also a lump on my foot. I am making an appointment with my doctor as soon as I can. What makes this really scary for me is the fact that my mom, her sister, my grandmother and her sister have all died from breast cancer. Please keep me in your prayers.

Tracy

Tracy - you will for sure be in my thoughts and prayers.

done girl..... keep us posted when you see your doctor.

Joy

Tracy... just another quick post to let you know you've been added to the "special prayers" list.... We will be hoping it's nothing... I can't imagine your fear....

Tracy, you're in my thoughts. Keep us posted!!

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts everyone. I haven't told Goody yet, but I plan to write him about it today. I know he would be upset with me if I didn't tell him and something serious happened. This way he can pray about it also.

Will keep you posted.

Tracy

Yes, it is best to keep your guy informed and US also. You need all the support that's available.

Over 21 yrs, I had two girlfriends that had both breast removed The first in real life and I was the nurse, the second an online romance and stories were told, until we met.

If you want a guys point of view on the subject just email me!

Thanks everyone!!! I finally did break down and wrote to my husband. I didn't want to worry him until I knew something, but I promised not to keep secrets from him.

Tracy

TRACY HON....

MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU.... I KNOW HE WILL... YOU ARE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON AND WE ALL LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.... PLEASE KEEP US INFORMED SO WE KNOW HOW YOU ARE. THAT IS THE ONE BAD THING ABOUT HAVING PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT SO FAR AWAY... IT IS HARD TO KEEP EACH OTHER POSTED ON HOW WE ARE..

MY LOVE AND PRAYERS DAILY

DONNA

You're definately in our prayers. I hope all ends up well.

TRACY-WE LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS!!!

You are in my prayers and thoughts....we love ya!

Thanks everyone for the prayers. I called my doctor today, because my insurance won't kick in for another couple of weeks and he said since the lumps are tender to the touch, they are probably nothing to worry about, but he went ahead and scheduled the mammogram for me just to be safe. Thank God for that. He knows about the insurance, so he found out exactly when the insurance will start and scheduled the test for after that - the very next day. So I go on the 17th for that. But he does want to remove the one from my foot. Which means surgery and time off from the new job already. When it rains it pours, right?

Tracy

Hang in there Girl!!

"Always look for the Rainbow after it rains." My momma told me that when I was a lil girl..and it is true...

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU TRACY..... TOMORROW IS ALWAYS A BETTER DAY.... REMEMBER, WE WILL NOT GET MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE...

LOVE YA
DONNA

YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS LOOKS LIKE THE DOCTOR IS IN BOTH OUR OUR NEAR FUTURES. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON AND KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE FOR YOU WHEN EVER YOU NEED US.. PROMISE..

Well, I just got home from the doctor; and it is offical: he did 2 needle biopsies and BOTH were cancerous. That doesn't necessarily mean that they have spread. he feels they are "self-contained" cancer tumors. So now I am waiting again to hear from him once he contacts the insurance to schedule the lumpectomy. There are a total of 18 cysts in the left breast and 10 in the right. He wants to go ahead and get them all out while he is doing the surgery.

Going to bed now, he put me on some pain meds.

Thanks everyone for the prayers and kind, loving words of support.

Tracy

You are also in my prayes -
stay strong girl!!

Kristin

Good Morning All!

Well, went to the doctor yestereay. He actually did a needle biopsy on 2 of the lumps in the left breast. He has a lab in his office and said that both came backas cancer. He also told me it has been his exerience with people that have the Fibercystic Tumor Disease that they are USUALLY self-contained cancer cells. But, he is going to schedule surgery for lumpectomies. After he did the biopsies, he rescheduled the mammogram cause I was hurting pretty bad already. This is EXACTLY the way my mother's was. So now, I have to wait some more and then have surgery. But the good thing is it was caught early and he doesn't think any has spread.

I had promised my mother-in-law that I would call her when I knew something, but I haven't done that yet. Mainly cause she does get phone calls from Goody and I want to be the one to tell h im about this. Not her.

Oh, he said that with the Fibercystic T.D. the tumors will grow in clusters like grapes do, so he may have to remove a bunch of them. He said that after the exam he initially did when I got there, he felt 18 in the left and 10 in the right.

So, this isn't over by any means. The good thing is that if all are self-contained, that means no chemo or radiation.

Keep those prayers coming please.

Tracy

P.S. I am doing ok, just a little sore this morning.

sorry to hear that...but at least there is some 'good'news too. try to stay strong. still praying for you!!keep us informed!

I am praying for you and your family. it is hard to deal with something in your body that does not belong there. Just know that we are here for you and want to let you know you can lean on us.

i am still not sure what is going on with my little delemia but i will let you know as soon as i get some more info.

we will always support you. make sure you get plenty of rest and keep us up to date with what is going on..

please girl, keep us up to date. I'm worried about you. I'm keeping you in my prayers, that all this might be over really soon!

jds

I just read this. My prayers are with you girl.... Try to stay positive. Since they are self contained, if you get them out real soon, there may not be any problems....

Keep your faith strong..... God will carry you and JD through this situation..... With all the stress you have had, I am not surprised about this. When our bodies go through stress, it does crazy things to it. They tell us to try and deal with stress, but pray tell me, how do you deal with all this crap.

My God Bless and KEEP YOU my child.


All My Prayers
Donna

TRACY-PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED-YOU ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS

Thanks everyone. It really does help to know that there are so many people in my corner. I spoke to the doctor again this morning, and they have scheduled the surgery for June 10th. He said I should only have a very small scar. I don't even care about the scar, just get the cancer out.

Tracy

TRACY-HOPE EVERYTHING GOES AS PERFECTLY AS POSSIBLE-WE LUV YA!

I go it on my calender.. hope to hear that you are ok when it all over..

Tracy, I sit here trying to think of something with significance to say that hasn't already been said. I've found myself in the same situation with Shortie too.

So I sit..........................concerned with you both.
BR

Tracy I will be praying for you saying some extra ones on the 10th... Just remember HE doesnt give us more than we can handle! SO hang in there!

that is so true

JUST CATCHING UP-ON ALL I MISSED WHILE I WAS GONE- SO-LIKE USUAL- I'M THE LAST ONE- BUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SAID- I'LL BE KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS-I HOPE ALL GOES WELL- KEEP US POSTED!!

Thanks everyone. Keep the prayers coming. I finally was able to connect with my son (he is in Turkey now TDY - should be home the end of the month), he said that he has pretty much been expecting this to happen b/c of my mother and grandmother having breast cancer. He is concerned b/c he won't be able to be here for me.

Finally heard from Goody, he is so upset about this news. But, I am glad that I was the one able to tell him, even though it was in a letter. He is thankful that the Doctor said that the cancer was self-contained.

Your prayers are so very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Tracy

(((( goody's girl )))) you are in my thoughts!!!!

we love you tracy!

Tracy,
I know the horror that you live with. I too live it daily. My mom and grandmother were both breast cancer victims. I stay afraid all the time. You have it all in line though with Prayer being at the top of the list. That is all any of us can do and it is the best thing to do. You are in my thoughts and prayers and if you need to chat about it give me a yell. Email addy is LdyGEyes1@aol.com Love ya girl.

TRACY...

MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU... MY STEPFATHER HAS AN ANURISM IN HIS AORTA AND HAD TO HAVE EMERGENCY SURGERY YESTERDAY... THAT IS WHY I DID NOT MAKE THE CHAT AT 11....

I JUST KNOW THINGS WILL BE ALRIGHT FOR YOU... MY PRAYERS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU..


MY LOVE
DONNA

just wondering how you are doing..

DONNA-HOW IS YOUR STEP-DAD?

Hi everyone, I am doing okay for right now, but more scared with eachpassing day. I was able to go see my hubby on Sunday (only got 2 hours) but it really helped to be able to sit down face to face and discuss my fears (and his concerning this) and just be together. Most of the time together, we spent in prayer and we even had some pictures taken of us together.

I'm not posting much right now, b/c Goody thinks I should rest more. I am trying to do that, but just so nervous and frightened now.

I love each and every one of you that have spoken prayers for my health. Thank you so very much,
Tracy

p.s. has anyone heard anything from Shortie today??? Wasn't her surgery today????? Spencer, where are you with the update??

Tracy, as I've said, if you or hubby needs/wants a guys point of view, that been through this situation from start to finish, my addy is in my profile.

TRACY, HANG IN THERE, MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU! MY FATHER HAS BEEN GONE ALMOSY 14 YRS. WE HAD SOMETHING REAL SPECIAL ABOUT RAINBOWS! I GUESS YOU CAN TELL BY MY NAME. AMELIA IS VERY RIGHT WITH WHAT SHE SAID. "NO ONE EVER HAD A RAINBOW WITHOUT A LITTLE RAIN" TAKE CARE! RAINBOWPENNY

Goody is right, you need to rest indeed. We understand that you can't post that much on here right now. Think of yourself first, take care and give your body a change to deal with this and with what it comming. We love you!

HOW ARE YOU DOING I KNOW YOUR SURGERY IS COMING UP HOW ARE YOU HANGING IN THERE?

Hi Tracy:
My sister was totally healed from cancer over 15 years ago. It has never come back. My Mother died with cancer. My sister's daughter was the same age my sister was when my Mom died. My sister's room number in the hospital was even the same number of the room our Mom died in. PRAYER CHANGES THINGS even hereditary things. You need all the faith you can get right now. My prayers are with you. My calender reads "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matt 5:16 for June 10th.

Peace & Victory,
Lifehouse

Haven't been on in a week or so... How is everything going?

Sherri, my stepdad came through the surgery and came home on June 4th.... My mother is 78 and he is 83.... Mother could not get him to take his medicine and he would not eat well for her. She wanted him to go back to the hospital, but he would not go.... His daughters came to their house on Friday, June 7th at 9;30 P.m. (they had gone to sleep) the daughter's came with an ambulance and took him to a hospital a long way away from my mom.... We could not find him for over 24 hours. I had to call the law in order to find out where they had taken him.... When we found him, he had been put into a phycriatric Unit at one of the hospitals. The girls had gone to a Judge and told him that Dad was a danger to himself and others and they had him committed.... Of course, his only problem was he is 83 years old.... Mother is 78 and both of them are getting a little senile.... They want to stay in their home and be happy together until one or the other passes away. What is wrong with that? Anyway, now they are separated. Mother cannot drive the distance to see her husband. She gets very nervous in traffic... She only drives to places very close to home. So, what do you do... I sincerely hope God will take over this situation and give both of them peace. My step father has already been told that he could have no more surgery. His arteries are clogged in his main blood vessels and in his head vessels. They told a a major heart attack or stroke would take him in just a couple weeks as it is... Why could they not stay together until then?

Who Knows

My Love
Donna

donna i am very sorry to hear about what has happened i will keep them in my prayers for God the work this thing out in jesus name..

DONNA-HOW ON EARTH DID THEY GET HIM COMMITTED? SURELY HE WILL NOT STAY LONG UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCS YOU DESCRIBED-HE SHOULD BE WITH HIS WIFE, AT HOME WHERE HE WANTS TO BE- MAYBE HOME HEALTH COULD COME IN? I WOULD CALL THE SOCIAL WORKER AT THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE IS AND TALK TO HER ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS-A PSYCHIATRIST IS NOT GOING TO KEEP AN 83 YEAR OLD MAN WITH HEALTH ISSUES IN A PSYCHIATRIC UNIT LONG-

WELL HERE IS AN UPDATE. THEY RELEASED HIM TODAY TO A ASSISTED LIVING HOME. HE SEEMS TO REALLY LIKE IT BUT HE MISSES MY MOM... THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER A LONG TIME..... HE REALLY LIKES THE HOME. HE SAYS IT IS A CASTLE AND IS BEAUTIFUL. SO THAT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.

BUT, NOW, MY MOM DOES NOT WANT TO GO THE THE ASSISTED LIVING APARTMENT WITH HIM... SHE WANTS TO STAY AT HOME IN HER LITTLE HOUSE. I REALLY DON'T THINK SHE WILL BE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT FOR VERY LONG THO. BUT I AND MY BROTHERS ARE TRYING REAL HARD TO DO WHAT SHE WANTS DONE RATHER THAN WHAT WE WANT FOR HER.....

THIS IS A SITUATION THAT YOU REALLY NEVER THINK ABOUT UNTIL IT IS RIGHT ON YOU...

THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN..

MY LOVE
DONNA
