Please keep her in your thoughts tomorrow. The doctor is sending her to get a sonogram tomorrow. He wants to skip the mammagram part and go straight to a sonogram.  The insurance company approved it today and she goes tomorrow morning.  She has an unusual condition and a history of breast cancer in the family (one aunt died, another aunt(sister of the one who died) was diagnosed and had a double mastectomy.  Beth is unusually young, but the doctor isn't taking any chances.  Not a lump - I think I wish it was.   She is anxious. I will be going with her --- of course!!    Some prayers   :pray;  couldn't hurt!   Thanks everyone.

Well of course AB is ALWAYS in my thoughts  >:D but very much so for tomorrow. Best wishes for good results and nothing bad. Still it is good to get checked and if there IS something going on to know sooner rather than later is definitely the best way to go to jump on anything ASAP and treat it.

My best thoughts and wishes to you all!

Thanks everyone.  I think our family is getting more than their share of good news lately.  She filled out the regular forms and at the top in red was "Call Dr with results -STAT".  That did not calm her nerves.  The tech was very good, and when she was done she called the radiologist in.  He looked at everything then said, I want the doctor to look at this.   Beth was near tears by then.  Calling in a doctor is never a good thing!!  But, he assured her it looked good and he didn't see anything that looked like cancer.  She does have to go back to her doctor next week to figure out what is wrong.  They threw the word "mrsa" around and then it was my turn to panic!!   We both feel very confident that all is well. We aren't worrying about a thing.   

After that, we picked up Melissa, kidnapped her for the day. Went out to lunch, went shopping, picked up Zeke and Paxton after school, went to meet Beth's new kitty, Elvis.  Melissa and kids went home. Beth and I went to my house and played Rummikub and watched tv for 3 hours.  It turned out to be a perfect day.   I am grateful for all your good thoughts and prayers.     :cuddle;
