Praise the Lord for his promises. -- In any kind of circumstance PRAY Karen Carter 74' -------------- Original message -------------- > Hi, all! The surgeon called me today to tell me that my breast lump is just a > lymph node. Apparently, it's something that's been seen on my mammograms over > the years, and I never knew about it. When I had my first mammogram several > years ago, they had me come back for a re-test of one of my breasts (I can't > even remember which one now), saying there was some kind of nodule showing. > When I went back, they said it was smaller, and after that, I've always gotten > word that every mammogram was "normal", so I just figured there was nothing > there. But apparently they've been seeing density in that area of my breast, > and just decided it was normal for me, but I was never told that, so just > figured what they thought they saw the first time had gone or wasn't there. My > doctor thinks maybe I can feel it now because I've lost about 30 pounds over the > last year and a half. But she says it's the normal size for a lymph node, so > there's nothing to worry about, so that's good news. She wants to see me in a > month just to check it again, but it looks like everything's fine. Thanks to > all of you for your prayers and good wishes and support. > > Peggy
