Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 CHRISTINE, OFTEN COMMUNITIES HAVE FREE SCREENINGS FOR BREAST EXAMS AS WELL AS FREE MAMMOGRAMS. TAKE A DEEP FREATH AND THEN GET AHOLD OF OF THE HOSPITAL SO SEE IF THEY CAN REFER YOU TO SOMEONE OR A CLINIC.Dominie Bush <dombush@...> wrote: Hi - Don't panic yet. I have gone through breast lumps over the years, and sometimes they are just benign cysts. Also, your new insurance may have a provision for a free mammogram - I have really lousy insurance and still can get a free mammogram yearly if I want one. Keep us posted! - Dominie>> Last night--in bed (in my nightgown--with of course no bra on)--I brushed up against something that felt odd in my right breast.

Only by whom? Heck--I don't even have a doctor--and I just got health insurance again on January 1st. (after almost a year without it) So--I have no doctor--no energy--and no money. What to do? > > Look--I know you guys can't diagnose anything. But I also know that someone probably knows exactly where I should start. Has anyone else been through this?

So I'm sitting here at home--trying to do the things that I need to do--with only my kids for company--going crazy!!!> > This just feeds into my worst fear. As my grandmother died of cancer before I was born (stomach--not breast)--and as the first child of her first child--in the back of my mind I have always been afraid of dying young of cancer like she did!!! > > I keep trying to stay positive--but that's not really working at the moment!!!!!> > hugs,> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
