First I want to say thank you so very much for all the links you have given me , So many of you I have never met and yet I can still feel so close to you , It was just so brilliant of you all to go out of your way to find me links ( I read and rated them all) and give me so much advice , I am just so sorry I can't answer them all.
I went to the doctors 1 hour ago she was brilliant ( the one who saved my hubby)I am so glad to say it is not the Arthritis spreading , I did think it was sciatica but it kept coming and going so that made me think it was the arthritis spreading , she gave me a thorough examination and said it is intermittent sciatica,
the not so good news is that when she was examining me she noticed the redness on my breast ( I wasn't going to mention this to her as I was more worried about my leg and I have no pain in my breast ) I had an op on both breast 26 years ago , I had lumps on both which Thank God turned out to be benign ,
She is sending me as an emergency ( could take a week or two but hopefully less)I will have an examination a mammogram and possibly a needle aspiration .Then we will take it from there , So the thing which I was so worried about and giving me the pain will be ok given time.and is not as bad as I was thinking , and the thing I wasn't going to mention is the worry , I am still a wee bit in shock at the moment ,she has given me antibiotics , pain killers and a mild relaxant ( as I was a bit upset in the surgery explaining that I had a lot of family to care for and was worried I wouldn't be able too if I were ill ) so please forgive me if I don't answer all of your responses
Once again I just want to say thank you to all of my old friends , my new friends and my yet to be friends xxxxx

Oh weemam I am going to have you in my prayers for sure!
My friend just went through all this, and she is fine. The needle biopsy thing was painful, but they said it was only because she is VERY top heavy and they really had to go in deep. She was able to return to work the next day though, so it was not to bad. Thank you for reading and rating, and we do understand about not commenting, so don't even think about it bothering your friends, we understand!

Weemam Darling,My arms are around you Sweets.What a blow and how scary this is.I am going to call all my friends and get you on prayer lists here in America.I all our mylot friends do so in all the countries we will surely be heard.
I know this is a going to be hard but laugh as much as you can.Read every joke and laugh,laugh,laugh.Research with cancer patients has found that patients that laughed alot did responded to meds etc better then those that didn't.(they had funny movies daily..Can't find the site for this research but found this on respiratory patients http://www.cardinal.com/mps/focus/respiratory/abstracts/abstracts/ab1999/A00000644.asp )
I love you and will be thinking and praying for you.
Your Mylot sister and pal

Weemam, Right now the object of the game is to look after your self, the others will just have to fend for them selves, I do not believe for a minute you did not show them any survival courses if not they will have to have a home maker come in and look after them and possibly you. Please keep in mind that medicine has made huge advances in just the past few years and it is all available to you, so try to look after you first rather than the last as you are so accustomed to do. We are, at least, I am willing to wait until you have recovered and are ready to return. I will be thinking of you take care. Robin

Oh weemam, I'm sorry to hear about your latest condition. Whatever the diagnosis will be, I pray that you will have the courage to face it all. There's no need to apologize as everyone understand we still have our real life to deal with. Your health is more important. Mylot will not go away. Please, take care of yourself.

Sweety - when you told me about this yesterday I was so worried about you all - I really wanted to give you a hug but knew you would be busy with the birthday boy today! Remember to be good to yourself and we will all be here for you if and when you want us! Better keep away from the windows cos I am gonna be coming for a coffe in the next few days and if you are near the window I will spot you and you can't ignore me at the door! lol Everything is going to be fine - remember if you need me just shout out the window and I'll be there! xxx

I´m glad that your Arthritis is not spreading, dear friend. I´m sorry about the "not so good news". Hopefully it turns out to be benign like the last time.
Please don´t worry about answering responses. I know you´re a kind and caring person always looking after everyone, but now you must be kind to yourself.
All the good vibrations are going your way, wee.
A big hug from your "old" friend

Hello weemam. God is wise. He won't give you something you cannot handle. All the prayers of your friends will keep you strong and weather everything until the results come in. I pray too you will be ok. Maybe it is just a way to let you take sometime to yourself to relax and be taken care of. Shhh...hugs and kisses. God bless.

Bless your heart, you really have a lot on you right now. I'm going to be praying for you and your family that each of you will have the strength you need during the days ahead and that when you go to the doctor again a miracle will have taken place, that nothing will be there. I firmly believe in prayer and in miracles.
