tips for better mammogram?

[spokewench]

Oh ((((Red)))), I just saw this; but if you have to have the CA, then this is the best that could happen it sounds like. Dang, I'm so mad this has happened to you! But, I know this will get better. I've been thinking lately that I wish the internet would let me express myself in situations like this a lot better. Suffice it to say, that I'm pulling for you!

I feel your love. I'm actually not mad that this is happening to me, but I do feel a little more road rage-y on the bike these days. But, who better to take out my frustrations on than people in cars doing stupid things? I guess they're good for something after all.

Ah, what a bummer, Red...I was really hoping it would turn out to be nothing. But so glad you got it checked out and found early. I definitely second crankin's recommendation to get a second opinion. Do your research, consider all your options, and you will make the decision that is right for you.

Welcome to a large and very non-exclusive club!
That said, I would add from my experience: take it one step (or procedure or issue) at a time. Make your decision and then once you have results from that make another decision. Don't race ahead of yourself. Learn to wait till it is time to make decision after decision on the facts of your case. (Don't make flow charts/ decision trees or whatever they call them - you know if it's this then I'll do that). The process of diagnosis and treatment goes sort of slowly anyway, and you will have time to consider and make the best decisions for yourself .
And keep us in the picture!

Great advice. Thank you. I feel very informed already, and probably am a little ahead of myself, but my decisions will be well thought out, and I have some things that are important to me, that will be factors.

When I told my bf, he said something like although I love your breasts, there are a million things about you I love even more. He's been great.

He's a keeper!
