Fellow MB'ers:
I usually don't start 'em, I usually just comment on them.
However.
Flamingo never liked to get her breast exams done.
They hurt, they were uncomfortable, and she would put them off.
So.
She went two weeks ago.
The doctors office called.
And called again.
And called again.
They already had made the appointment for her to have additional screening up at the hospital, instead of the out-patient area.
"Yes, there is something, but we need to look at it closer"
It's been four years since her last exam.
How long do you wait?
You don't. You just GO. Every year like they tell you.
Too have come SO FAR.
Now this.
The phone rings. The folders wait. Not getting any work done today.
She can't get back to do the tests at the Hospital until August 5th.
We saw the "Bucket List" the other day.
Time to update the list. No matter what the prognosis.
LG

LG, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Tell Flamingo she is in my thoughts. If you guys EVER need ANYTHING, EVER, I live but a stone's throw away.
If she can possibly see someone sooner, get her there. I will be praying for you both. I wish I didn't know what you are going thru, but I have an inkling, as my mother had breast cancer.

LG,
You and Flamingo will remain in my thoughts. I walked this road twice with my mother and XW. Both came through fine.

And from out here in the Pacific.
My W has gotten that call before, More than once. Even had a biopsy. Wasn't anything to worry about. They just wanted to make sure.
God Bless.

Thanks for all the good thoughts.
My sister has had Breast Cancer and has been thru Chemo and is currently waiting on the Dr to state that she may be in "remission"
Heck of a thing to wait for.
Once again, thank you for all the thoughts...

LG,
I'm so sorry Flamingo's test results came back like that. How scary for both of you, not to mention the dr calls.
You are both in my prayers. My AA sponsor is going through almost the exact same thing accept she goes every year and gets it done.
There is so much that can be down nowadays. And prayers works wonders.
You are in all our thoughts and you walk through this latest challenge in your life, but the most special part is you are together and moving through it together.

LG,
I can sit here and tell you not to worry.
You will still worry. So, I won't waste my breath!
I will tell you to keep the positive attitude you distribute so often to others around here.
I'm sorry you all are going through this right now, but I am so glad you are doing it TOGETHER.
Yes, you have been through so much. That is why you are able to appreciate what you have with one another. That is also one of the reasons this is so incredibly scary for you both.
Yet, having walked that previous fire, you know more now about the strength you have as individuals AND as a couple. There's nothing you can't get through together.
As many have already said, this may very well turn out to be nothing more than a 'warning ticket' to Flamingo to get those tests done EVERY year.
I know that the WAITING is the hardest part. Do what you can to stay focused at work (it's hard, isn't it?), and then stay busy doing enjoyable things together every other second of the day.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Keep us posted.

Awwww, LG, so sorry for this very anxious time.
My mother and twin sister both had BC, went through chemo, and are doing well today.
You and your amazing wife will be in my prayers too.
