Freakin Out

Remember when I told you 6 months ago, that I needed to have another mammogram in 6 months because they found densities...

Yeah, my appointment is scheduled for the 9th.

I'm freakin' out.

Instead of another mammogram that needs a significant amount of cancer cells to detect cancer - I scheduled a Thermogram.

Breast Thermography can detect if your breats have the potential of developing cancer.

So I should know for sure if the densities are cancerous and/or potentially cancerous.

Yay!

Maybe I should just do the mammogram and live in peaceful unknowing for another 6 months/year/2 years/5 years...

I just do not know what I would do if I had to have them cut off.

Maybe that is vain but it's freakin' me out.

It's easier to talk here than it is with actual people, face to face and stuff.

Maybe I've been reacting to things a bit differently lately because I'm freakin' out. Maybe.

Have I mentioned that I'm seriously freakin' out?

Yeah, I'm freakin' out.

  1. It makes absolutely no sense to freak out until you are certain you have something to freak out about. When you get a good result, think of all the angst you suffered, for what?
    If the result isn't what you hoped for, why then you arm yourself with knowledge, and devise a plan of options. One step at a time, darlin.
    You are in my heart.

  2. Just thinking about scheduling an appointment freaks me out. You are totally entitled. At least knowing will give you some sort of peace, right?

  3. I'd be freaking out, too. I hope everything turns up okay and it was just a weird reading first time around. ::hugs::

    (On a side note: My friend, 23, was diagnosed with breast cancer about two months ago. It still freaks me out.)

  4. I am less concerned about losing breasts than you are but I would still be anxious.

    Deep breaths.

  5. I completely understand how you are feeling. I went through the same thing with my thyroid. I ultrasound showed lesions & had a biopsy. Biopsy results came back inconclusive????? My potions were another biopsy or wait 6 months & have another ultrasound. Yeah! Freaking out also.

  6. I think I would want to know..........this way I could be more aggressive with prevention treatment (tests, etc.)

    Do not worry!!!! It will all work out fine. Nothing good comes from stress. I know this for a fact!

    But, take deep breaths and try to slow down. Stress aggravates things even more. Witchypoo is right.

  8. It's not vain, it is a part of you. Even though we could all live without it, doesn't it make it easier to part with it. Hang in there, we are here for you!

  9. Chill out girl. I had a scare a couple of years ago, I know how you feel, I was on pins and needles. But you won't know anything until you do the tests, and the tests are a GOOD thing. So DO them.

    Get regular tests, and even if something happens you will catch it early.

  10. I know it's hard, but it is better to detect it early than wait and have it be too late! Thinking of you and hoping everything turns out fine!
