I am sad and nervous. I went to the Breast Cancer Center this afternoon for my six month check up for a lump in my right [View all]

breast. It is now a mass. Tech took results to the doctor. She came in and said that not only do I have the mass but now more are appearing. I scheduled a biopsy for June 5. I talked to my husband Rich and DU friend John. They both helped me. Rich is finishing his treatment for Malignant Prostate cancer. and came in the room when the Doctor came in. John and I talked and he really helped me.You guys are my family and I can't talked to my mother. She needs a ride for my sister to get her 6 month check up for her "cancer" She keeps telling me that my sister has cancer in her uterus , which she never had as it was a polyp. She was given a hysterectomy. But she has a stage 4 tumor in it. I so wish I could tell her that I am scared. I have told the stories of my youth to repeat again. You are my family. I hope now that I got that free. I can sleep better tonight. Love you all, Deb.❤️ I just needed someone to talk to.
