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.
