My first Papilloma appears unchanged, but they found, what they believe to be another one, in my other breast.

Meg, thinking of you , Now I will have to come visit. I will make the time, God bless & take it easy.

We'll have that cuppa one day. I may surprise you and actually drive down instead!!! LOL!

I certainly hope that all goes well with you. It was a year ago that I got the bad news that I had to have breast surgery - I was lucky in that I had non-malignant fribroid tumors. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I empathise with anyone who has gone through this uncertainty, it is indeed a difficult thing to contend with and ultimately we all have to face it in our own way. thanks for you support. hnr, M

Meganne, I too have to have surgery, for a uterine fibroid & polyp, not sure about it because they couldn't get enough tissue to biopsy. We have to turn it over to God {and leave it there} and hold our heads up and try to stay positive. {which is very hard at times}. But you go girl. Do what you have to do, but hang in there.Try to find someone you can talk with to blow off steam or cry with. You take care.

Dear Meganne. I am no good with words when it comes to situations like yours, but I wanted you to know that I care. I will pray for you that God will give you the wisdom to know what to do and bring the right doctors and experts into your life to accomplish healing. With God everything is possible.

Shirlene, as ever you have found the wonderful words of comfort that fill me with confidence, thank you dear friend. hnr, M

Meganne I was going to ask for a couple of design from you but it isn't as important as you getting better- I'm Chair of a Cancer Council Relay for Life(North Coast NSW Australia) & I see how research has really made a difference in how the big 'C' is being treated & how we are closer to finding a cure. God Bless from minicow.

Oh, Meganne! Just too many unanswered questions running around in my head! Before I say something stupid, just know I love you, and re-read what Jerrilyn said, and pretend I wrote the same thing. Hang in there! I guess I would have slapped the Dr. upside the head and said, "Because you won't do it for free!", but then, that's just me. Hold tight to that DH of yours, it means so much to have someone like that. I love you, Meggie. Marji

OH Marji, I'm sorry if I confused you, it wasn't the same doctor who wanted my arms and legs to do the surgery. LOL!
But she sure scared me when she asked me that in such a forceful way. It really left no doubt in my mind what I NEED to do. I'll see the next surgeon on 27th October, hopefully she'll only want my left hand as payment! LOL!
Thanks so much for being here I love you too. hugs n roses, M

I'm so sorry to hear you had very mixed news. I hope you can work out the finacial consequences of an operation and find the peace you need to face that operation. You're in my prayers as well.

Meganne,

Hope you know I send you good thoughts and prayers. I will pray specifically that God's healing light will enter you and shrink these cysts and also that any financial worries will be lifted.
Stay positive!!! Loads of Hugs, Laura

Sorry not to reply before now, but sincere thanks for your wonderful support, it is truly appreciated. hnr, M

Dearest Meganne, I am so sorry. I know you must be confused and afraid. You are one of the fortunate ones in that you have a back up (your mortgage) to cover your costs. I know there are women who simply don't have any resources and therefore, no recourse. Your DH will be by your side and we will stand in the gap for you when you need prayer partners and encouragement. I can't understand what it is you feel but I do know I'm sending good thoughts and hopes for a wonderful outcome and an end to your confusion and fear.
I have chosen you and not cast you off";
fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isiah 41:10
love to you and yours, Jerrilyn

Thank you so much, Jerrilyn, confused and angry is more like it.

My faith is strong so I place my life in His hands, what will be, will be.

But I am angry at a medical system that so often fails us.

While I was sitting in the waiting room, a heavily pregnant young woman came in and sat down, her DH? & her Mum? were with her.
I only heard part of the conversation with the staff member, but I understood she didn't have money to pay (up-front) for the necessary ultrasound, and she sat there crying and very distraught.

I so wanted to reach out and give her the money, but how could I give what I don't have.

It made me upset for her and quite angry. All I could do was empathise with her so I told her what i was facing and how much the doctor asked me to pay up-front, in the hopes that it would take her mind off her own problem, if only for a moment to help her calm down.
She stopped crying straight away and then both our prayers were answered as the staff lady came back and said if she would just come back to the desk, they would organise something so she could have her ultrasound.

So I know, He truly does listen when you believe.

I am truly lucky that I was able to work long enough to even buy a home, but it is no good to me if I'm not alive to enjoy it.
Besides Ray (DH) reminded me, we promised to have 30 years together, so I still have 26 to go and he just bought me a new exercise bike so i'd better stick around to use it!!! LOL!

There you go....Listen to Ray, I know he's a smart guy, he caught Meganne! HNR!

Oh Lillian, I keep telling myself that, just can't figure out the reason why so many women are forced to make this difficult decision and even more who don't get to choose. It is barbaric in this day and age, especially the tests leading up to the surgery, they are so cruel! And I feel like such a coward! They could do whatever they want to me as long as i'm under a general anaesthetic, but not cold turkey! Only comfort is knowing I'm not the only one to go through these procedures. Hugs n roses, dear friend, I value every one of my Cute friends' support. M
