I saw the consultant this morning and in the Doctors words( there is nothing untoward ) . I am just so relieved , that is 7 weeks now since my own doctor sent for an emergency appointment I have had 3 hospital visits and I have seen 2 consultants , Last week he took biopsies from my breast and today was the results , he wants me to go back in 6 weeks just to check the thickening hasn't got any worse , he checked my ankles and hands and I have edema so he is referring me back to my own Dr for water tablets , he said too much fluid in the body can cause this in the breast , he said it all in technical terms but basically that's it , I am writing this and I still have taken it in yet ,
I just can't tell you all how much it has meant to me all of your prayers , prayers are very strong and all of the private messages and E-Mails , you have all been brilliant friends and have really helped me through this , your prayers have all been heard and been answered , I have missed you all so much so now I can get my jobs pending done around the house and get back to writing on my lot , thanks again my friends and my yet to be friends , thanks a million times for just being there . love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am so happy for you. What a relief that must be. I have edema too. Not too bad in my hands but my feet and ankles sometimes get bad (gosh they were double in size when I was pregnant). Sorry off topic. I will keep praying for you.
Say a prayer for me please. I need to have my kidneys checked and am terrified.

That is great news. I am so happy for you. Did your doctor check your blood pressure as high blood pressure can cause edema?

I am very pleased to hear this news. Now you can move on & stop worrying. I used to get very scared at finding odd things, which could be the Big C, but I am a lot more realistic nowadays. You did the right thing getting it checked.

Hi weemam. Like all your other friends here, I am so relieved to hear that the doctor says it is "nothing untoward". It must be a huge relief to you, and you must feel like a burden has been lifted from your shoulders. I think that the effect of our combined prayers for you on here had an impact! Now you can get back to some sort of normality without the added worry you've been carrying around for the last 7 weeks. Welcome back!

This is fantastic news weemam!
I knew you'd come through it in the end! I think it's wonderful that even though you've been waiting on this news, and even though you haven't taken it all in yet, you still found the time to come and let your friends know that everything is fine. Thats the mark of a strong person.
Congrats on your good results.

I am so happy to hear this weemam! I have been worried about you and wondering. I hope that when you go back in to have it rechecked that the thickening has not gotten any worse. (((HUG)))

I am happy for you that your doctor basically told you that it is nothing to worry about. That is such a releif. I know because I have been on the same boat where one doctor siad I had a deadly disease and sent me to a specialist who after several months of waiting told me that I did not have it. No take those water pills and get healthy again ;)
