Well, I got my ultrasound results. The report stated that I have a benign-appearing lymph node measuring 1.2 cm. I have no other lump of any kind in my breasts or surrounding areas. I also had a...

I just got my ultrasound results back today, actually! I seem to be OK, posted more about it in the women's health forum. I have reported the nurse, had to go back to the clinic today, asked for a...

Awesome! I will definatelly do that then. I didn't know she couldn't find out my name.

I think I will report her. It sucks because this is the only free clinic for people in my county, so if I report her, the clinic will probably treat me like crap. But, I can always go to a place...

I had an ultrasound yesterday for a breast lump. I'm 23, lump moves, and I have very dense breast tissue. They said they were doing an ultrasound because of the dense tissue. Afterwards, the tech...

Also, I should add that this lady has worked at the clinic for a long time and I think she is just kind of jaded by dealing with folks so much. I can understand it, I just wish she had been a little...

I asked to speak to the supervisor at the clinic. The person that I spoke to is a doctor, I'm really not sure if she was totally in charge or not. The clinic was so unorganized. I do know where...

That's kind of what I was thinking too. She is a straight A student but she worries so much about her finals. I think she needs to relax about it a little. She is a smart girl and will do just...

My friend's daughter is very worried because her eye muscles have been twitching. It's almost like a little facial tic or something. It's only on the left side. She has no vision problems that she...

The Lions Club will help you get free eyeglasses once you have a prescripton too. I donated my old glasses to them. See if there are any clinics for the uninsured in your area. Or, see if they...

I'm not quite sure if this is the right forum for this question, so I'm sorry if it isn't.

One month ago I went to a free clinic for the uninsured (in the USA). The nurse felt my breast lump and...

Awesome J_9! That is so cool that you had a kid after chemo! That makes me feel so much better!! I heard there is a medicine that can protect ovaries while going through chemo. I can't remember...

I think your post answered another of my questions too. I had heard that you can't get pregnant after you have breast cancer, and obviously that isn't the case, at least not for you, and I'm so...

And also, just want to remind other women who don't have the money to get tests like this done that talking to the financial aid person at the hospital is a great place to start. After wasting all...

Thanks J_9, your answers always make me feel better! I do need to work on keeping a positive outlook. Lol. But, I have been doing better on that lately. I was just soooo offended when they said...

Well, I have waiting 2 months so far for my mammogram. This is getting ridiculous! I went in after I found it in October, they told me to come back after a menstrual cycle. The lump was still...

Yes, she said that she would call me with the results. I am so scared that she will call and say its cancer. Well, all I can do is wait I guess. I just hope she doesn't call me at work. I gave...

I know, lol. I think I'm already consumed by it. I keep telling myself that what I have might not be cancer and that if it is that I can find help. It just sucks so bad waiting! :) The good...

Well, I haven't applied for any government help yet, since I don't yet have a diagnosis. I know there are programs that will help with medical bills. I don't know about help with living costs. If...

Thank you! I needed the encouragement! I hope it is just a scare. I just can't believe all this happened right before chirsitmas, that sucks! Lol, but it's good to know that many people get help...

Thank you all for your answers. I will talk to the hospital about payment plans if it comes to that. I hope and pray that I don't have cancer. Its just so unfair how these diseases happen. I wish...

Thank you Fr_Chuck. It is good to know that are people that can help me cope with whatever might happen.

Thanks! I needed to hear that. I know that, worst case, if I do have to have them removed, I can find a good guy who will love me anyway. I'm just soooooo upset at him right now. What a jerk! ...

Thanks. I feel better knowing that. It just hurt me so much when my ex told me there was no way he would stay with me if I had to have a mastectomy. I started getting scared that I would never...

Thank you for your answer. I have already spoken to my doctor and the American Cancer Society. The ACS told me that they were unaware of charities that paid for reconstruction. There are programs...

No, they don't hurt. They can be uncomfortable but don't hurt. Take deep breaths and ask the doctor to warm everything up first so it isn't so cold. Let the doctors know you haven't had one before...

I'm 23 years old and might have breast cancer. I'm waiting on my mammogram right now. I know I might now have it, but I just keep imagining myself with my breast cut off and crying. I was dating...

I am having tests done to see if I have breast cancer. I have a lump. So, I don't have insurance and I make six dollars an hour. I pay 75 bucks a week rent. After I buy groceries and rent, I...

Thanks! I'm really glad that you told me all that stuff. Its good to know that they have to help me if I'm sick. I know it might get expensive. I can deal with that, as long as I am alive. If...

Thank you for your response. I will ask them about the fine needle aspiration if it is necessary. If they can't tell for sure if it is a cyst from the mammogram, then that would really put my mind...

Hi everyone. I'm 23 years old and have a breast lump. The nurse said that there was an area that had thickening tissue on the same side. Lump is painless, moves around a little, feels kind of...
