Your on my prayer list too, We are all praying for you.

Thanks Heather, I really appreciate your concern but truly I'm doin fine.

I've already lost so many friends and loved ones to Cancer and I've heard all the horror stories, so there is nothing my Cute family could tell me that would scare me.

I really do know what i'm in for if it is carcinogenic and even if it isn't malignant i still have a decision to make, but I think i've already made up my mind on that.

So, as long as everyone can laugh with me and I can share with you all and not have anyone afraid to open up, or feel they have to watch what they say, then everything will be good.

I figure by keeping this conversation completely frank and sharing our stories, we will all learn to be more aware and less afraid. Cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence as you have proven.

God Bless you for being so concerned, I do understand your truly wonderful intentions.

I have to share with you, when I had my biopsy, I was holding Ray's (good) hand and it was truly a very light-hearted time for all of us.

You see my previous biopsy was excruciating (no local anaesthetic and I was already sore) so it felt like they were trying to put the biopsy needle through my rib cage, poking and probing trying to get into the lump, it was all I could do not to scream, so I was expecting this biopsy to be the same.

But you've all probably guessed by now, I'm pretty vocal so I refused to allow them to perform such a barbaric procedure on me again without a local anaestheic.

Anyway the doctor performing this biopsy FIRST injected the anaesthetic and I never felt any pain (during all 5 needles) other than the first pin prick.

So you see my apprehension was all for nothing and there was lots of laughter and the Doctor was absolutely brilliant, with the added bonus of having a great sense of humour.

I always say they can do whatever they like to me as long as they knock me out first, BUT I ABSOLUTELY HATE NEEDLES and tend to have a panic attack which causes my veins to shut down, and of course that makes it even more difficult to give me 'painless' needles.
Talk about a vicious circle.
So there's nothing else for it, I've got to keep on laughing! LOL!!!
hugs n roses dear friend, God bless you, Meganne

I am so glad that things are not as bad as you had thought they may be. I know how hard it is to hear the "C" word. Keep your spirits up and your thoughts positive. God is always with you!
