UPDATE: Thanks everyone for their kind comments, prayers and positive thoughts. 🙂 I got the ALL CLEAR, so YAY!!! I do have cysts on both sides, but they are not solid and are fluid. I just have to watch to make sure they don’t change (easier said than done, I fear).
I do so appreciate all the wonderful comments from my friends. 🙂

PA: “Hmmm…well it seems like there may be something here. We will need to schedule you for a mamogram and ultrasound. It does feel like it may be a cyst. If it is cancer don’t worry about getting in right away, since it only grows every hundred days or so…..”
Potentially may have cancer. Well, that is not good. All this week I have been trying to get my head around that possibility. A week is a long time to wait to find out. I’m not so happy that they couldn’t get me in for a whole week. I’ve had a knot in my stomach all week and have been very worried, on top of still being sick after about 3 weeks. It’s been lovely.
I have an appointment this morning to get this worrisome bump checked out. They said they should have the results before I leave. I took the day off of work, just in case the news is bad. I certainly won’t be able to concentrate if that is the case.
I’m hoping it is nothing more than a benign cyst. If not, then it will just be something I will just have to deal with. I’m one of the lucky ones where I have good health insurance and an understanding job. One of my coworkers and friend went through breast cancer two summers ago. She hardly had to pay anything out of pocket, they let her take off whenever she needed without losing her vacation and even bought her a wig of real hair (they cost several thousands for the good ones). Nowadays you hear more that women survive it than don’t. I have a wonderful MIL as proof of that. 🙂
Positive thinking, right?? I’ve been less than positive in the last day or so. After it was pointed out to me where it was, now I can feel it and wonder how long its been there.
Ladies, don’t forget to feel your boobies and go for your exams. Something I was a bit lax on, since Anya was under a year the last time I went. Oh hindsight, why do you hate me so??
this picture reflects a bit of how I’ve felt this week
Oh Stacy, I’ll be thinking about you. If it helps any, my mother just found out monday that her ‘irregular findings’ were nothing to worry about. I’m sure you’ll be fine!
I was trying to think of something witty or inspiring but all I can think of is that you have got to be feeling so scared right now. We are all right behind you and will be sending positive thoughts your way. Keep us updated.
Oh, dear friend, I will pray for you and hold your hand from afar!!
Never good news, but best to find out earlier than later…
My Mom just went through it and had a mastectomy a few months back, the waiting for the news seems to be the hardest part..
Praying for you…
Thinking of you.
I don’t know what to say.
Just praying for good news today. And asking for unexpected blessings for you.
I know the waiting is hard – really hoping it was worrying for nothing (though I’m right there with you worrying too).
Wish I could give you a hug.
Oh Stacy! You will be in my thoughts and prayers today. You must be so scared. Whatever the results, I know you will make it though. A woman as strong as postive as you can’t help but triumph! Hugs.
I hope you get some good news today!
Ah, Stacy…. sending prayers up for you today, friend.
That is so scary. My goodness….
Oh Jesus, bring your peace over every thought in Stacy’s mind.
Peace as she waits…. peace in the office….
Believing and praying for a good report….
(((((Hugs)))))
I can’t imagine having to wait a week to find out. My thoughts and prayers are with you today.
I fear that day will come for me eventually, with both my grandmother and mother being breast cancer survivors. I know it must be hard to think positive….especially having a knot in your stomach for a week! (Xanax usually works for me)I will be thinking of you as well. Please let us know the outcome. I am sending positive and benign vibes your way!
Oh, Stacy! I will be praying for you today!
Ahhhhh! Stacy! I just saw your FB update so I ran over here to see what was up. How scary and I’m so glad that you’re okay!!! Hugs and prayers from us.

Oh Stacy! I am so glad to hear that everything turned out okay! But still…how scary! Enjoy the rest of your day — I am sure that you need a bit of relaxation time after all of that!
Whew! So glad to hear you’ve go the all clear. HUGS!!
Stacy, wow, thinking of you and the nervous feeling you must have had all week. Happy to hear it was fluid, take care of yourself and now I bet you feel like you can breathe again.
Glad to hear you received some good news!!
Have a wonderful weekend~ Hugs from me 🙂
I’m glad to hear the good news too. My mom went through something similar a year ago and it turned out to be nothing. I’m sorry I’ve been so behind on your blog. This week has been something else and I can’t believe it’s Friday. I can totally relate to your picture. 😉
WHOO-HOO! Can I get a YEE-HAW???!!
That is awesome news! I mean, if you have to have *something*, right?!? 🙂
Just got home and ran to check for an update from you. Good thing you posted, or you were gonna get an email from me 🙂
So glad the news is good!
How terrifying for you. So thankful you are alright and will pray that you continue to be ok. Many warm hugs are being sent your way!!
Stacy – I have been dealing with a very similar situation the past few weeks…had a mammo and an ultrasound. It is all good now–not cancer. Although I need to go in and have a baseline MRI done. My mom is a breast cancer survivor, so I need to be very cautious. And vigilant. We all just have to be vigilant so if (God-forbid!) something does pop up we can take care of it straight away!
I’m so glad that yours turned out ok, as well. But keeping watching them, please!!
Oh my! I cannot believe I missed this original post! I am so glad you got the all clear!!! 🙂 I’ll keep praying things clear up!
Oh, I’ve had those cysts! They are so painful! I’m glad it isn’t anything more serious.
Just now catching up on my reading. SO glad you got the all clear. How nerve-wracking!
Oh my, Stacy! You’ve had a tough week! I’m just now reading this & so glad to hear everything was cleared! It is such a scary thing to think about! A good reminder to all of us girls to pay attention to that stuff – it is a hard thing to remember for me on top of everything else I have to do!
Have not been by to read in a few days and totally missed this post … but I’m glad I read it now when you’ve posted an update !! I’m glad that you got the all clear !! Phew !!
OMG Stacy I am so far behind. I finally got a chase to sit down and catch up and see that you’ve had so much going on. I am so relieved that the test was benign. I just can’t imaging having to even have the fear of it being more serious. I can totally see you mood in the photo. Again so glad it’s going to be okay.
