  Hey great news , so happy for you.  I was in Tal-a-quah (spelling?) otherday.  Beautifull town.  I took the scenic route back from Tulsa.  Thought about you.

thanks for all the encouragement and support. Kinda scary and dont really have anyone to go with me that i can count on. I just hate NEEDLES...argh!
If you all have watched War Horse I  AM "JOEY". When he was pulling that heavy artillery up that steep hill and he almost buckled and went to his knees he pulled way down and gave a determined snort and pulled on well thats me! Dont have a quittin bone in my body. Am I scared? Sure but I will come thru and with the new frens I have made here it has gotten easier because people who dont have to go thru what we are going thru just dont understand. I wonder if they really even care at times. So thank you and I will keep all posted!

I am sorry to hear that a mass was found but glad it was found now. Try not to worry (easy for me to say) let's hope it is benign and is not causing any problems other than being there.

It is a good time to have support around you. Friends, family etc. Have someone go to the hospital with you so you are not alone and feel taken care of. I am not sure how many procedures you have had before but being in the hospital for most people is a little scary.

How did they find it? An imaging scan? The biopsy should give a lot of info so that sounds like a good idea.

I know the unknown is scary. But please try not to think of all the worse scenarios. I am glad it was found now instead of later.
Get all the support you can. Talk about how you feel. Don't hold it in because that only makes things worse.
Gather friends and family around you. Don't isolate yourself.
Hang in there.
You have all my support.

Hector
