Comments on: I hate tumors http://cancerspot.org/2008/10/06/i-hate-tumors-2/ this is the story of my journey with breast cancer Thu, 09 Sep 2010 13:33:22 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Jacki http://cancerspot.org/2008/10/06/i-hate-tumors-2/comment-page-1/#comment-156877 Jacki Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:27:51 +0000 http://cancerspot.org/?p=659#comment-156877 Heather, Worry is part of the game! But it gets better with time -- really. I rarely worry now, yet there was a time when I sat in my quiet house with two little boys sleeping, thinking there was no way I'd live to see them grow up. They were 18 months and not-yet-4 at the time, and now that not-yet-4 guy has turned 9 (yesterday was his birthday!). Keep your hope alive! And let me know if I can help you at all! Jacki Heather,

My mother survived breast cancer four years ago. I must say I never took the threat seriously. I didn't regulary self exam. I stumbled upon this lump accidently. I am very scared. I won't have a mammogram and ultrasound until next week. I know I am worrying very prematurely, but I cannot help it. I have two children. I desperately would like to see my children grow up. I have never been much of a fighter though and hope I can learn to be one. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. Reading your story gives me hope if the news is bad. We do so worry about the wrong things in life. Just the threat is giving me a new perspective. I am 39 and have just now found a lump in my breast. My mother survived breast cancer four years ago.

I am the daughter of a three time survivor. The first time my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. The second time they did a lumpectomy even though my mom begged them to do a mastectomy because she knew it would come back. My mom had another mastectomy on July 8 2008. I am only 24 about to turn 25 and I go in every year already to get mammograms. At the last one they found a lump and did a lumpectomy. Thankfully it was not cancerous. You and my mother are truly heroes and fighters! Hopefully one day no woman will have to endure the pain and fear! Thank you for this blog! I am the daughter of a three time survivor.
