I NEED MY FRIENDS PRAYERS AGAIN

stage1
1 Recommendation

The doctors just found 2 lumps in my sisters breast, one in the left and one in the right breast. They don't know if it is cancer but they said it looked "suspicious". I am so afraid for her. She is very distraught. She is 19 months younger than I am...
and has been through a lot. They will be scheduling her for surgery to remove the lumps and then they will biopsy them. So to me this sounds like they want to hurry and get in there like they did me. I know when my doctor says "suspicious" it ususally is bad news. We don't have breast cancer in our family history..

Thank you for your prayers.

All I can say is that if it's being removed surgically then you have a good shot at gettingit all out. Breast Cancer (unlike Lung Cancer) has a 98% cure rate - hold onto that and your sister and be strong - don't cross bridges until you get to them - praying for you both!

Yes, I totally agree with Karen. Breast cancer has a great cure rate, so hold onto that! I just came from my breast cancer prayer group, and we are through treatment and feeling GREAT! (yes, I had LC too, unrelated) I will pray for you and your dear sister; encourage her! And it is great that the doctors want to biopsy right away----no waiting, just quick results and good news---that's my prayer.
Hugs,
Nancy

thank you kathy for your prayers. If you notice the post, I had to edit it. My sister told me that there is a lump in her left breast and one in her right breast. So I guess she will have to have surgery in both.

God Bless

misself. thank you for your prayers. I will remember that post you mentioned. My sister is having surgery this Friday. I hope and pray it is not cancer. Her doctor said the lump in the left breast "looked suspicious". This does not sound good..... The right breast lump he said was not concerning.

God Bless
