Lump Update

I met with the breast specialist yesterday (Dr. Allison Laidley). She reviewed my ultrasound and mammogram as well as did her own exam. She didn't diagnose is as anything, wouldn't even speculate at what she thought it MIGHT be. After discussing the past 6 months of my life (Ella) she told me not to concern myself with what "could be" the diagnosis. She wants to do another ultrasound and exam in 2 months (December 28th) to see if there is any change. I'll tell you, for those of you who either watched "The View" yesterday or watched "Grey's Anatomy" last night it kind of freaked me out. Women who are diagnosed after thinking it was just a clogged duct because they were only in their late 20's or early 30's, just had children who they nursed, and had no history of breast cancer in their families. I pray that I never have to face cancer in any form, but I'm so encouraged daily by the women who do survive this disease. Joe, Ella, and I will be running in the Susan G. Komen Race for The Cure this Saturday morning...along side our friends Kim and Tiffany. We will be running in Celebration of my Aunt Linda who is a current survivor of breast cancer.

Thank you for your prayers as we still wait to find out more information about the lumps.
