bobby84: that's why I'm getting the MRI, because the lumpy area is only in one breast

pulisa: apparently that's the rules. Has to be day 7 unless you're menopausal. My GP said if the MRI is normal then I really can take a break from breast cancer worry for a year. That would be great while I'm sorting out my other anxiety issues. I'm trying hard to counter all the doom and gloom thoughts with positive ones while waiting for the MRI. I keep reading over my posts from last year and remembering how certain I was that those tests would be something awful and they all turned out okay. I really don't want to go back down that spiral while waiting for this test.
