IMAGE FROM THE INTERNET - MINE IS BIGGER AND PRETTIER LOL - GOT TO LAUGH I WON'T LET IT GET ME DOWN

My poor right boob, has rainbow colours After a biopsy the doctors had to do I’m still in pain, but there’s no weeping I yearn for sleeping As dreamers do Sadly for me I can’t get closure Until my surgery in January They cannot confirm, if I’ve got cancer So I await the answer But I don't feel blue My poor bruised boobie is Red and yellow and purple and green and blue and pink and black and painful!! Ouch! 12-08-17 You may have noticed I’ve not been so active on soup recently… Last week I had to have 10 mammograms (ouch x10), which detected a mass, and the next day i underwent a vacuum biopsy, (ouch times a million lol) a week later and the results are inconclusive so I need surgery in January to remove the lump and then I can finally get closure… the waiting is the worst part!

I am so sorry to hear of this, Jan. But I admire the way in which you are dealing in spite of all the unknowns at present. You've written a very positive poem to echo your positive attitude. Keep thinking that way...our minds control more than we think when it comes to health and well-being. Prayers are coming your way that all will be good in the end. Many Hugs!! :) Sandra

Thanks Sandra I have to face these things with humour, I am just frustrated that after such an ordeal with the biopsy that I don't have a clear diagnosis and the waiting is the hardest part i have a 2 week wait after the mass is removed (the biopsy is so very different to the one I had in 2004 but technology has moved on so much since then) I will remain positive and have the best gift ever with my son home this year:-) hugs jan xx

Well, obviously I'm behind in my poem reading. You know, they do have fur lined bras. Well, they might be hanging out though so........ok never mind. I'm hoping for the best and know with your sense of humor it will help you a lot. Sorry you have to wait so long, but what a great new years present!! (Finally)........pat

ha ha ha a fur lined bra now that really has tickled my fancy so to speak:-) I have to find humour to get me through Pat and know that I would never have coped with the last 4 years if it hadn't been for writing poetry. Yes surgery on 4th January is really a new year's gift to look forward to lol , but i have to get to the root of the problem and if it is malignant then get it dealt with quickly:-) just got everything crossed:-) hugs jan xx

I can't help but see the funny side Kim, i just wish i could sleep comfortably that is the big issue at the moment but the bruising and pain is easing so I hope by Christmas it will be gone:-) hugs jan xx

Jan, I am so sorry to hear your news, I sensed from one of your comments earlier in the week that something was amiss and you have been in my prayers. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers, my dear poetic friend. John

Thanks John I find it better to share my experiences and laugh about it as other people can often relate. I had a biopsy in about 2004 but it was nothing on the scale of this one but I guess technology has moved on a pace. I just feel frustrated not to have a clear diagnosis and have it hanging over my head but I am laughing at myself with my boob of many colours :-) hugs Jan xx

I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends and the support I've had at home has been awesome our friends were away in the UK but we have been contact several times - they are disappointed I've not had closure but the doc is happy to leave it until january - they have other folks to deal with and with Christmas and new year time and resources are limited:-) hugs jan xx

Dear Jan, I still can hardly believe with all those tests they still arrive at "inconclusive" It's so horrible for you, sweet friend. Yes, all we can do at these times is be as positive as we can and YOU are a shining example to all women who have to undergo these things and await an answer. It's awful for you and I admire you for your great attitude.

Jan Allison
Date: 12/8/2017 6:51:00 PM

I have to make light of it Andrea, you have been such a support to me and I am using you as my role model in case it is malignant - I will get through, the waiting is the hardest thing. It took 2 biopsies for them to confirm hubbies cancer and they were about 6 months apart, at least i don't have to wait that long:-) hugs jan xx

:'( It was so different when I use to have mine, they open removed and they were all right... The last one I had they injected a dye then waited awhile, and then x rayed to see if the lump was cancer. Prayers that all is health <3 Hugs Eve~`*

The first time i had a lump in about 2004 they just used a needle to do a biopsy - this was more of a surgical procedure... and it STILL didn't give me a result so now I play the waiting game until 4th January:-( hugs jan xx

Jan, I am so sorry this has happened to you, but you wrote of it wonderfully, my prayers are all for you, dear heart, you have such a great attitude, I pray it is just a benign lump, that surgery will fix.

Jan Allison
Date: 12/8/2017 5:04:00 PM

I hope its benign too but am just frustrated the biopsy didn't give me closure and now i have to go through a surgical procedure to remove it... the waiting is the hardest part as i have the op in January then have 2 weeks to wait for the results:-) hugs Jan xx

- Omg. it looks really painful, Jan ... ouch, ouch, ouch !!! - I've always admired the rainbow :) - Yes :) ... "You may have noticed I've been so active on the soup recently" ... I miss you on my poems :) - The waiting is cruel and long - Ask your doctor about "falling asleep" tablets, you need rest and sleep .... "time out" for your thoughts ... there are many nights until January - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Your breast holds all the colors of a rainbow, and what a treasure it'll be to get good news. You know you have my thoughts and prayers, Jan.

It's a good job I love rainbows I find them uplifting and they make me smile, but looking at my poor boobie and its changing colours is a challenge at the best of times lol (I'm still determined I want that rainbow coloured coffin it really made me and other people smile lol):-) got to laugh Lin its the only way I've got through the last 4 years since hubby had cancer and i wrote my first poem, in fact the day of my biopsy was 4 years to the day hubby came home from his surgery!:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan , I am so sorry to hear you have had to go through all this and you are right, the waiting is very difficult. I will be praying everything will be ok for you. My thoughts are with you. Please take care of yourself! You are amazing with your sense of humor! and your writing!

Jan Allison
Date: 12/8/2017 1:20:00 PM

My muse has deserted me a little recently and I've not been around to write much in the last ten days . I had hoped for closure on Wednesday but the results were not clear so i have to have surgery under general anesthetic in January and then wait 2 more weeks to know if it's malignant or not ... the waiting is the hardest thing. I just still try and retain a sense of humour and get on with life as normal:-) hugs jan xx
