I haven't been as active because school is crazy right now, but I could really use your prayers.
Because I have Li Fraumeni Syndrome, I'm at a ridiculously high risk for cancer. I have many preventative scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds done every year.
I had a breast MRI a couple weeks ago. They found something abnormal, so I had to go back for an ultrasound yesterday. The ultrasound was inconclusive. On Thursday I have to have an MRI-guided biopsy on the area.
I'm freaking out. The only think I could think of was just "please don't take me away from my son." I lost my dad when I was two. I don't want my kid to grow up without a mom.
No one in my family has survived a cancer diagnosis because of our genetic mutation.
I'm just not in a great place right now. Please pray the scan/biopsy is completely normal.
TL;DR - I'm at high risk for beast cancer. Have to have biopsy on Thurs. Prayers please.

I'm sorry Stormtroopooper I'll be sending you all the positive vibes I can! In the meantime don't stress yourself out until you get the results. I know it's easier said than done. H just had a testicular cancer scare and had to do testing. FX it's nothing.
Awesome!!! My heart was heavy for you last night as I thought about how scary it must have been. So happy to hear this!!!
It's the scariest thing I've been through. My father died of brain cancer when I was two. My biggest fear is my son growing up without his mom. I don't care about myself. I can handle myself. I just don't want him to go through what I did. And he has special needs that only I can care for.
This experience has solidified my decision to have a prophylactic double mastectomy. They can take whatever body part they want. I'm going to be here for my son. I'm going to wait until after our adoption though because I want to breastfeed our baby.
I just wanted to thank y'all again for your T&Ps. It really meant a lot to me.

Sending love and prayers your way! I'm sorry that you have to go through this. I have no real advice but I'm still dealing with my cancer diagnosis from 14 months ago - I have an MRI next week, so I can empathize with he fear you're feeling. Love to you, mama!

I didn't know you had cancer. I'm so sorry. I should've put a trigger warning in my post.
My biopsy came back benign, but I still feel nervous. Last night I dreamed they called back and said they did find something.
I have PTSD from my dad's, grandmother's, and nephew's cancer experiences, so shit like this just rocks my world for a while. Last year I had to have a brain MRI because I was experiencing vertigo, and I was a mess. This one was worse because they actually found something to biopsy.
All that to say, please feel free to PM if you ever need to talk. I haven't personally been through cancer, but I know it well. Praying for you.
