    I have a lump or something in my right breast. I just discovered it when I got back from the Birthday bash weekend with my sisters and SIL. I was just getting ready to schedule my mammogram for this year when I discovered this...so now instead of the mammogram I have to see my Primary Doctor who will check it out and then probably order some diagnostic testing to find out what is going on in my right breast.

    Please say a prayer that it isn't cancer that is causing this problem. I see my Doctor on Wednesday because it is Mardi Gras week and the Office is closed today and tomorrow. I'm so thankful that God is filling me with His peace right now....because as a woman this is not something I was ever looking forward to having to maybe face. But something is going on and I pray it isn't something cancerous.

    of course I will pray for you Babs... I believe that most lumps in the breast are benign cysts , which hopefully this will be too, but of course being aware of that doesn't give you any more piece of mind until you have seen a doctor... All best wishes and hopes for you for a good outcome ((hugs))

    I certainly will, Babs. Of course, a lot of things can cause a lump beside cancer, so I'll pray that it's something else.

    I know I have plenty of family...but the truth is that most of you on here have become family to me too...I appreciate your prayers, thoughts of good outcomes, etc. and whatever happens I will be sharing with y'all.

    Adding our prayers, too, @Babs Hunt . Let us all know how the doctor visit goes. Probably will have to send you to a specialist for more tests or samples.
    Maybe , you somehow just bruised yourself on the trip, and it will just heal up and go away .

    No, I didn't bruise myself...there is something there...just hope it's not cancerous. I appreciate you and Bobby praying for me.

    Was that Tornado that killed 23 near y'all @Yvonne Smith?

    No, we are in northern Alabama, all we had was wind and rain. The tornadoes were in the very southern part of the state.

    Prayers are with you, @Babs Hunt. I know it is difficult, but what some have said is true--most lumps are benign. Sometimes they can differentiated on a mammogram and sometimes not. A biopsy will settle the issue, but your mind will be in an uproar until you get you verdict. I know your faith is strong. Let it carry you through this.

    Babs, I just read that 80-85% of breast lumps are benign so the numbers are in your favor. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
