17. Of course you are sad and nervous. It's a normal reaction, and you did the right thing by talking about it.

Seems a lot is going on with you and your husband. I can imagine that you are overwhelmed. Talking about it can most times put things into a better perspective.

It would be unnatural NOT to be frightened by this. But it was mentioned up thread that staying positive is actually good medicine. I'm a firm believer in that. Easier said than done, right? Well, yes. But it's something that we all need to work on and learn to do better. So, I hope that you will take this time between now and your biopsy to surround yourself with love and care and stories of women with positive outcomes. I hope you have confidence in your doctors and know that they are there to help you and create the best outcome for you.

I will be praying for you, as is my personal practice. As has been said here already several times, you come here and talk any time you feel the need. Come here and feel some DU love.

Deb, I wish you calm and peace and a good night's sleep, and I want a long-term positive outcome for you! Take care of yourself and keep us updated.
