I need some hugs

[mighty-mama]

I don't even want to write this, as I am so devastated. Tomorrow I finally get the results informing me on whether or not I have breast cancer. It's going to be the longest 23hrs of my life. It's been a week today that I've had a core biopsy. A week of waiting, today I finally get told by my gp that the results were suspicious. She wouldn't admit it was malignant. I didn't want to go in today, as I wanted one day at home nursing my son without accepting the truth.

I don't even know how I'm going to wean him. Our nursing has been his source of comfort since his birth, and I have to take that away from him. This bond is the only bond that we have together and no one in the world knows our little nursing quirks. Why did my body fail us. Why do I have to accept this, I'm not even 28. Why did this have to happen now. Why does this bond have to end. What am I going to do.

I really don't know what to say. I am so sorry. I wish for you the strength you need to get through this.

[timneh_mom]

Oh honey, I sure wish I could help. I don't know what to say. I hope it all turns out ok, but if it doesn't, we're all here to support you. Take care, mama...

[turtlemama77]

I'm so sorry you're going through such a painful time. You and your family are in my thoughts. Please take care.

I'm sorry that you are going through this right now. Hopefully you'll receive good results tomorrow.

Just keep in mind that nursing is only one way aspect of the bond you and your baby share. It may be hard to see all the other ways now, but they are there.

Good luck.

Sending prayers your way...

[carrietorgc]

Oh how hard! I will be thinking of you and praying for you guys. It is sometimes hard to have faith. I might have to wean ds also (major food intolerances, not growing, etc) to a non protein formula and it is heartbreaking.

Please let us know what happens

[JamesMama]

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry mama. You'll be in my prayers.

***going to pray aloud***

Oh Heavenly Father, thank You for blessing Mighty-Mama with a precious son, Lord, and blessing her as she nursed him since birth. Now Lord I place Mighy-Mama at Your throne of grace, Lord, and ask You to touch her body, Lord and touch her troubled mind and send her Your everlasting peace, Lord. Calm her worried heart and shelter her with Your love and peace. In Your Sons precious Name I pray, Amen

I know you didn't ask for info mama, but I decided to look some up anyway because BC is an issue that's close to my heart (my mom had it two years ago)

If in case you are diagnosed with BC, these pages have some info that might help:

What will life be like after breast cancer treatment?
1. Is it ok to breast feed after having been cured of breast cancer?
2. Can you breastfeed while you are receiving breast cancer treatments? What are the options that are available. Also can you treat breast cancer while you are pregnant?

Alternative Cancer Treatments some may allow you to nurse through the treatment. Depending on the severity of your case (if you are in fact diagnosed with BC) these may be viable options for you even without use of chemo. Most (if not all) can be used in conjunction with traditional therapies.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I can imagine how it feels that your body has failed you, but remember how your body succeeded in giving your child perfect nourishment to get where he is now. I hope that you receive good news tomorrow....you and your family will be in my thougths and prayers.
