I'm having a lot of issues right now. Not fun. It looks like I'll be having a minor surgery soon. Just an outpatient thing. I had the same procedure in 2010, but the problem is back. My doctor said if it comes back a third time, we might consider a hysterectomy.
Yesterday I had a mammogram. Today I got a call that they "need to look at something closer", so now I get to spend the next four days worrying about something I have no control over.
Here I am, finally down to a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and finally in a normal BMI range -- and I'm falling apart everywhere else. Life seems so unfair sometimes. :'(
I posted an update below ...

Oh, Rena... I'm praying that you'll pull through all this just fine.
Life does seem unfair sometimes.
But I believe everything we experience has its reasons.
Have faith and think positive... The Lord always has an eye on you.

Rena,
Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. God is in control of ALL things, not some things, but All things. Praying for you.
-
Thank you, Tony and NSands.

Rena try not to worry dont ya just hate when something like this happens on a Friday :( >:( I know it is easy to say dont worry I have to say it all the time to myself with ty diabetes & now driving :( . '
I do have to remind myself we really have control over 2 things what we put in our mouths & what comes out of them !!!! God is in control of everything else !!!
I had a hysto 16 years ago I never regreted it at all !! I hope & pray everything will be fine ;)
-
Why do you worry? Don’t you realize that it will get you nowhere?
There you sit worrying about tomorrow. But don’t you realize that today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday? And tomorrow I’ll end up repeating myself to you.
Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday.
And still, here we sit. With none of our worries coming to fruition.

I know how hard this is on you. I was asked back for mammogram but it was because of weigh loss and there was such a dramatic change they needed to make sure everything was ok. I will pray all goes well for you.
Blessings

Hey Rena. I will definitely say a prayer for you! I got a call to come back like that after a visit in 2003. I ended up having to have a total hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids & ovarian cysts. I was 40 at the time, and we were not planning to have any more children anyway. Honestly, like Jo, I have NEVER regretted it! Life got SO much easier without that "monthly" visitor. .....and you can plan vacation ANYTIME! ha ha Seriously, try not to worry, and know that we are all here for you. Love you girl. :)

Rena, sorry to hear about what you are going thru. Hope all will be well. I just had my 3rd mammo after putting it off for 7 years-(why?). I guess I thought what I didn't know wouldn't hurt me. Anyway my 1st 2 mammo's resulted in biopsy's and I dreaded a third one-so I put it off. Everything was fine and I worried for nothing. My hysto was when I was 28 and now am 58....30 years without TOM has been a blessing. My only problem was menopause..I didn't know that person LOL but I (and family) survived. Husband's favorite saying is "I only worry about what I have control over, since I have control over so little..no need to worry" I have finally realized he is soooooo right. Thinking of you and hope all goes well. Suz

All will be well.You have done so well taking care of you and getting healthy.No matter what happens you will get through it easier because of your good health :-*
-
I am so sorry you're going through this. Just keep your head up and remember you have support!
-
Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your comments, support, and prayers.
-
Hi Rena, I will pray that God gives you the guidance and results you hope for.
-
HI Rena....wow I'm so sorry you having this worry :( I sure know what that is like. Especially with the female issues. I had my hysto back in my eary 20's a year after my daughter was born. Hang in there... I know the days seem so long when waiting news and test results. I'm sending prayers that all will be well.
-
Hi Rena ~
So sorry you have these worries! I think the waiting is the worst part! I will be praying for you that all goes well so please keep us updated.

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate it.
This is just one of those sucky things. I dread having to go in for the mammograms in the first place. But now that they want to see me again, it's frustrating I can't get in sooner. Tuesday feels like a year away.
-
I have had a appointment to get a tooth pulled for a week I go tommorrow all the waiting is worse then getting it pulled I have to take valiums just to go to the dentist . So I know yours feels like foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. It is almost over & You will be ok ;)
-
Thanks, Jo. I hope your tooth feels better soon.
-
You just zoomed to the top of the prayer list. We'll pray for wisdom for your doctors, too.
My best escape from the stress of waiting is to lose myself in a juicy novel. You can wrap the cover in plain paper so that you don't have to explain it to the boys.
-
Hi Jo! :)
You said "tooth pulled" as in "tooth extraction"?
I HATE EXTRACTIONS!!!... I don't like the anesthetic or the pain killers after.
But after a few days, you'll feel sooooo much better! :) :) :)
You are always in my prayer list.
But I will add this to the list.
-
Thank you Tony ! You too rena

We're all here for you Rena....hugz

Good news -- there is nothing they think is cancer.
For now, anyway, but they do want to see me again in 6 months to re-check. Now I just have a minor surgery on the 24th and hopefully whatever they pull from me there is cancer-free, too. Here's to hoping, anyway!
Thank you all SO MUCH for your comments, prayers, and well wishes. I appreciate them all very much. It was a really difficult past 5 days.
-
Oh, YAY! So glad for you, Rena! Now for the other thing... my hysto was the best thing! Very nice. If it's recommended, don't stress.
-
That is great news Rena!! I am so relieved for you ;)
-
Happy for you Rena :-) Here's a cherry from my book The Cherry Tree..... "Don't worry worry till worry worries you" ;-)
-
I'm so happy for your good reports.
-
Thanks again!
The hysterectomy won't happen unless I get this problem again. Chance are I will. It's rare to reoccur, but I guess I'm one of those lucky ones. Ugh. I'd do the hyst now, but I'm also going to Florida in May and it would be a longer recovery. I had this procedure done in 2010 and the recovery was easy, so I hope it's the same this time around.
But the mammo stuff is definitely good news. With my mom being adopted in the 40s and me not really knowing much of family history, it's always scary when these sort of things come up.
Thanks again, everyone! :)
-
So happy that is behind you Rena and that you received good news :)
-
Rena - what wonderful news! I am so happy for you ;)
Blessings

-
Glad everything turned out ok !!!
-
I am very happy for you ;)
-
I'm so thrilled for you Rena! :) :) :) :) :)
Answered prayers are the best!
My daughter (also adopted) has developed benign cysts in the past.
So far (thank God), they have not caused any real problems.

Wonderful to hear the good news!! :)
