Today I am scheduled to have my mammogram. I am terrified! I feel that my whole world is about to change. At 31 some may say that my life is just about to begain...I have a husband and 4 children, I love them dearly. What ever happens I pray for the support from my family and friends and also all of you. This site has been very educational and inspirational. I have read stories here that I can relate to and that has encouraged me.
To all of you....
THANKS!!!!

Hi - Luckily, the statistical chances of you having breast cancer at your age are exceedingly slim. Overall, most mammograms women receive don't show a problem; and when they do, about 85% of the resulting biopsies are benign (no problem). So the stats are on your side.
Fear is very stressful; and waiting for testing exacerbates it. Please read our post on fear; it may be the "life ring" you need to hold onto as you wait! As I said, chances are that your mammogram (or mammogram/biopsy) won't show a problem; but if they do, understand that millions of women survive breast cancer, and go on to lead happy, healthy lives. Good luck to you - PJH
