A few weeks ago my sister casually mentioned that the lump in her breast was getting bigger. I freaked & insisted that she call the doctor NOW!!!!!! She wanted to wait a 'couple of months' because it was less than a year since her last mammogram & her HMO wouldn't pay for another so soon. I begged her to call her M.D. & ask for a biopsy. She said she really didn't want to know (ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!), at which point I began an intensive campaign to badger her into going to the doctor. I phoned & e-mailed her daily & threatened to tell all family & friends. It worked-she got so fed up w/ my 'meddling' that she called her clinic & was immediately scheduled for a biopsy (she goes 6 Feb.). We're both really scared (our mom died of ovarian cancer) & I'd really appreciate it if you could cross your fingers for Shellie. Thank you!

My fingers are crossed and give your sister a hug from me. My mom is going in for another Mammogram cuz they found a lump type thing in her breast as well. She found out yesturday that she was supposed to have it biopsied but the doctor neglected to tell her. Cancer *most kinds* run in our family. Good luck to your sister and the brightest blessings as well.

Thank goddess you talked some sense into her. HMO's are the Hitlers of 21st century. When I look at their claim forms and benefits statements, all I can see is ovens, ovens ovens.
