    Velogirl - I just want to send you hugs. I'm a pretty big ball of stress myself right now and rationalize as I might I still burst into tears. It's good that you're expressing all of this. Take care of yourself.

    I don't have any knowledge or advice but I feel for you. Waiting and the unknown sucks. I'm 47 and I haven't been for a mammogram yet. Guess I should.

    Maybe take Velogirl's situation and turn it into a positive one. Get thee to thy breast center and get that baseline image. Call tomorrow and schedule it. And, do that self-exam tomorrow morning in the shower.

    Velogirl, I have a high history and I've been getting squished since I was 35. Quite a few have had call backs because if bad imaging on their part. And, unfortunately, stress can increase your risks, so try to put this out of your mind, or put a positive spin on it -- now you'll know for sure that everything is okay.

    If not, I'll have to bike in my pink skort and tutu for you this weekend.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
