cancer clinic, why do they call me on a Friday late afternoon for an
appointment 10 days later, I don't know, all I know is that I am scare to
death.

First thing you need to do is go here and study up.

I'm a 15 year cancer survivor and there's nothing like knowledge to help
you.

Second whatever you're doing for exercise, don't stop. If you're too tired,
slow down but don't stop and particularly don't stop aerobic exercise. It
helps with stress management and boy are you under stress, plus it generates
endorphins which are a natural high.

Kiki,

I've been lurking in this group recently, trying to get ideas for losing
the weight I put on while I was inactive and self-indulgent following
cancer surgery. The web site www.acor.org is home base for a large number
of large and very specific mailing lists for people with cancer. I think
there are actually seven breast cancer groups: a general support group,
one that is devoted to the latest medical news, etc. I got great answers
in the colon group from people who had been throught it all ahead of me,
so I urge you to give it a try. It will reduce your anxiety while you're
waiting. Good luck!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear it. And I know it will be of no consolation to
you to know that 90% of these lumps are perfectly harmless, as you will
be quite convinced that yours won't be! I hope and pray it *will* be,
and that this is a false alarm for you.

Kiki
my thoughts are with you. I have been through / Still going through a
thyroid cancer, 2 surguries and radiotherapie so know the stress you
are going through. From my initial tests to diagnosis took about 3
months in total. I have to go back for testing in September 3 months
after the radiotherapie to find out if I need another dose or if the
one off was enough.

Waiting is very stressful, there is a tendency to say, poor me I
deserve........ (insert food of choice). Continuing a healthy WOL is
the best preparation you can do before facing any possible medical
treatment. I had spent about 1.5 years getting to my fittest and
healthiest I have been in a long time. I think I have done my best to
help my body deal with what it had to go through (or maybe to still go
through) by eating healthily and exercising regularly (what is
realistically possible).

Keeping my fingers crossed for you on the 16th and for a good result
to the biopsy.

Take Care
