Thanks to all. Many, many thanks.

The hospital just called. I'm to be there at 5:30 on Monday morning and the surgeon will operate as soon as he finishes his coffee.

I'm braced to explain to my near and dear that this time was picked for the convenience of the surgeon, not for the driver.

The sun will be up, the birds will be singing, and hopefully there will be good news. We'll be thinking of you as the alarm goes off on Monday, and always.

With love and hugs, jes and RP

Noddy, there's a mini-gathering of A2Kers in Chitown on Monday. I'd like to offer a special thought to you during the evening. What shall we drink on your behalf?

Bear hugs coming your way, Noddy, along with our love. You'll be in our thoughts.

Hold your dominion!

(Hope you don't mind me quoting one of my very favorite A2Kers)

my best thoughts too Noddy. I know your concern and fears. Its a bitch that you cant just have it done and over with today and not drag out the anticipation till Monday.
No matter what the outcome, your attitude does matter. Be as dominion holding as you advise us all.

Again, thank you all very much. Fifty-six hours and I'll be able to hand the problem over to someone who can Do Something rather than speculate.

Drew Dad--

Combining the biopsy/mastectomy is my choice. The odds are excellent that in spite of radiation and chemotherapy eight years ago the tumor is back. If so, I saw no point in having a biopsy and then making an informed choice to have a mastectomy. I'd rather have one surgery than two.

J_B--

A little bourbon and branch water would be elegant--if accompanied by good wishes.

Again, thank you all so much. My ambiguous mammogram was less than two weeks ago, but I'm all of a frazzle with speculation.

Here's hoping that you emerge with your dominion in tact. I'll be up at 6:00 AM EST on Monday. I'll start the positive vibe flow pointed eastward.

Noddy, I don't post that much in the scheme of things, so you probably don't know that I worry with you now, and hope for the best on Monday. But I do.

Strong, good vibrations form Toronto,Ontario. (you've got a far reach).

I can not imagine how you feel right now.

I do hope it isnt cancer..

but if it is, I hope your surgeon has had his coffee and is in good spirits when he sees you .

Dear Noddy

Like everyone else here I feel very anxious & worried about you. I hope (& hope & hope!) for the best possible outcome for you on Monday. If I was a religious person I'd say many prayers for you. But I'll keep you constantly & firmly in my thoughts, & also name the new rose bush (I'm planting this afternoon) after you. (It's a lovely rich crimson - very you! Very Happy ) The very best of luck to you, Noddy.

Love,
Olga

This year my routine mammogram was abnormal. Either my scar tissue grew considerably in the last year or the tumor in my right breast which was removed eight years ago has returned.

I'm scheduled for a biopsy on Monday. Tissue will be sent from the OR to the pathology lab and if the tissue proves cancerous, I'll have a mastectomy that day.

Please wish me luck.


My prayers are with you.

This is a wise decision. I know that waiting for the results can be a dam pain in the ass, but remember this too will pass. Be hopeful for a good outcome, I know I will be hopeful for you. Smile

Msolga--

Thank you for christening your rose bush. Roses in springtime are a very good omen.




Seventeen and a half hours to go until an expert is in charge. I just discovered that I no longer own any staid, button-down-the-front tops, so I'll be coming home from the hospital in one of Mr. Noddy's XL shirts.

May this be the greatest of my problems.
