At A Risk For Breast Cancer & Depressed

Hi. I don't know if I have any right to be using this message board but I'm really scared right now. 16 yrs ago, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy along with radiation & a yr of chemo. Just Sept of last yr, she got cancer again in the same breast. It was not a recurrance as this one was not estrogen receptive. She had a left mastectomy, no further treatment needed. She is doing wonderful. I love her with all my heart & to me she is a hero.She has shown more strength than I have ever seen. I am 40 yrs old. I have had 2 benign breast tumors removed from my left breast. Me & my mom have troubles it seems with our left side. :) I recently have been having stomach problems even though I'm on a medication for ulcers. I've had 2 upper GI's in the past. Anyway, they did a sonogram of my gallbladder, it was fine. But it showed a small cyst on my left kidney. They now want to do a CT next Wed. I am so worried. I know enough about medical things that a sonogram should be able to tell them if it is a cyst or solid tumor. I also suffer from depression, have all my life. I want to be ok for my mom. She's always there for me & I need to be there for her. If anyone out there would like to pray for me for next Wed, I'd appreciate it. I have read so many letters on this site & my heart goes out to each & every one of you going through a difficult (to say the least) time in your life or your loved ones. May God bless each of you.

Connie,
I'm new to all of this as well. My wife has stage 4 Metastic Melanoma. She is 30 yrs. old.
The one thing I know is that every single moment you can get with your loved one....be there. The fight is hard enough. Letting them know your there is everything.

Good Luck and God Bless,
Michael B.
