    Sorry to read this, Yooly. What a maddening situation. I hope you get some clarity soon. The waiting and awfulizing is just too stressful. And how can you not awfulize at least a little with partial "bad" news.

    Well it’s definitely malignant and biopsy says invasive….. neither of which sound promising. But I think it’s fairly small and had regular mammograms so maybe 🤔.

    The goal now is to get through Thanksgiving festivities, gatherings with friends without collapsing in a heap of tears and worry.

    Man, I'm so sorry, this sucks. My mother went through the same diagnosis and had a surgery. She is fine now (and you will be too!) but the whole thing is nerve-wracking.

    Wishing for a speedy recovery!

    Yooly, so sorry for your anything-but-great news. Please do try to put it out of your mind, best you can, and enjoy the holiday weekend - what's good for the soul is nourishing for the body.

    Oh Yooly I'm sorry you're facing worry, surgery and uncertainty - let's hope the regular mammograms mean that it's been caught early and you make a full recovery!

    Thank you all so much for the positive encouragement. I’m slowly getting past the shock. I’ll get more info when I see the surgeon next week. Until then I’ll try to see this as a good thing - I could have gone along in blissful ignorance for a long time.

    I’m so happy to hear from our “lurkers”. How is maintenance going Dante? Been a long time since we heard from you.
    How’s the stress recovery going Bella? Hope you’re being kind to yourself.
    And BC - you need to join in more often. So much wisdom to share.

    Regular testing is good for sure. Annoying when bodies don't behave. But you're on it. And at least you guys do tend to move fast in the south!

    Which means quick repairs instead of waiting and waiting! 🤯
