Great news ladies! Today I had my first 6 month mammos and all looks good. I also had my bone density test and that was good too! Surgeon was very pleased but not more than I am. Yipee! Tomorrow I see my oncologist and then have an appointment for genetic counseling. I will be thinking of you tomorrow Mom. Good luck! Em

Hello everyone. Well that is done. It went well, got what she wanted and will call on tuesday. I am happy that is done and I feel good. I'm icing and haven't taken anyting for pain yet. Alittle tired though. Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts. It has been so helpful to hear your stories and know that you're not alone.... Sometimes I think it's kinda funny how you can "feel" such good things from a message board- yA know?!... Have a wonderful day

Mom, glad to hear everything went well. See we're all stronger than we think we are when it comes to these things. Pat yourself on the back, and treat yourself to something nice. I'm so happy we could help you and in turn you will help someone else who comes on the board. We all were newbies when it came to posting. This board is a blessing.

Hello girls. Well the surgeon called. They are indeed atypical cells. Not Cancer but this definately puts me in a higher risk. We will talk when I go to my follow up appt in June 2nd. She said tamoxifen is an option( which I started- and might do again) and special monitoring are what we will do. I am thankful but I know this isn't over ( it's never over is it?. With my family history and this I am honestly thinking of having a mastectomy. Of course I will do what I have to do and figure it all out.
