Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I just wanted to thank each every one of you for your e-mails and support and advice about my " lump " whether it's cancer or not. And I wanted to let everyone know " why " I'm not going to a doctor for a diagnosis. My sister found a lump too, and the hospital did a " needle biopsy " to determine whether or not it was malignant. They told her it wouldn't hurt at all. It was unbelievably painful for her and threw her into trauma. Now, I consider myself to be a " big baby " when it comes to pain. Not just pain, " discomfort " of any kind really. I mean, I am a card-carrying " wimp " . But aside from the fact that I may experience any kind of " discomfort " , I look at it this way: If they find out that my lump is " just a cyst " , I am going to continue on my raw food odyssey to heal myself because I figure, " Hey, what the heck is a cyst doing in my body anyway? It isn't supposed to be there. " If I " do " find out it's cancer, I'm still going to continue on my raw food odyssey to try to heal myself. I know that the doctors will try to talk me into " surgery " or chemo or something, which I will not even consider, so I figure " why bother " ? Plus, think of the money I'm saving (my financial situation is " grim " ). Anyway, you have all been such a huge help to me with suggestions and websites and advice. I love you all! Peace, ~*~Mary Ellen~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
