Well, I had my mammogram at 10am this morning. I tell you, I was sooo frightened! Anyway, the lady came back in and said that it was only some stubborn breast tissue and that there wasn't anything there!! I am SO relieved!!! I must tell you all something. I quit smoking on Thurs. or Fri. (can't remember which day) because I have come to think of all this scary hoopla, as my own personal wake up call. I honestly think that if I would have caved in like I wanted to do yesterday, I don't think things would have worked out the way they did. I know that now. Thank you ALL for the good luck wishes, prayers, PM's, etc. I don't know how the hell I could have gotten through this scare without all of your support. I love you guys!!! mel

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

That is great news!! I didn't want to give any prevention advice while you were waiting, cause I thought it was a false alarm and didn't want to worry you. If you are thinking about prevention now, In addition to not smoking and exercising, try salads with olive oil! Quote:Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev. 2004 Apr;13(4):567-72. Dietary patterns and risk of breast cancer in the ORDET cohort. Sieri S, Krogh V, Pala V, Muti P, Micheli A, Evangelista A, Tagliabue G, Berrino F. Unita Operativa di Epidemiologia, Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Via G. Venezian 1, 20133 Milan, Italy. sieri@istitutotumori.mi.it The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dietary patterns and risk of developing breast cancer in an Italian cohort. Women volunteers were recruited from 1987 to 1992 from residents in Varese province, northern Italy, an area covered by a cancer registry. Participants completed a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire, and anthropometric and other data were collected systematically. Using nutritional data from 8984 women with an average follow up of 9.5 years and 207 incident cases of breast cancer, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis to identify major dietary patterns. Four dietary patterns, which explained 30% of the variance, emerged: salad vegetables (mainly consisting of raw vegetables and olive oil); western (mainly consisting of potatoes, red meat, eggs and butter); canteen (pasta and tomato sauce); and prudent (cooked vegetables, pulses, and fish, with negative loading on wines and spirits). After adjustment for potential confounders, only the salad vegetables pattern was associated with significantly lower (34-35%) breast cancer incidence (RR = 0.66, CI(95%) = 0.47+/-0.95 comparing highest with lowest tertile) with a significant linear trend (P = 0.016). Women with body mass index <25 had an even greater risk reduction in the highest tertile of the salad vegetables pattern (>50% less risk than the lowest tertile, RR = 0.39, CI(95%) = 0.22-0.69) with a significant trend (P = 0.001); whereas women with body mass index > or =25 had no protective effect for the consumption of salad vegetables. These findings suggest that a diet rich in raw vegetables and olive oil protects against breast cancer. |

Thank you so much everyone!!! I am so happy and so grateful for everyone in my life and you all are right up there at the top! I went to the grocery store this afternoon, had to get some Sprite and Mr. Clean (forgot the freakin mouthwash ) cause my kids have the flu. Anyway, the first song I put on the cd player was The Proclaimers "I'm On My Way". It is a fitting song for just how I'm feeling right now. THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love, mel
