Well I guess the first 6 months were ok, come to think of it great compared to the rest of the year and it's not even over yet. We had a graduation party for my eldest daughter in July, my father-in-law lost his balance and fell. Two days later he was on life support due to a bleed on his brain, the machine was switched of the next day one day before my husbands birthday. Of course my husband took it really bad. Then my grandmother has a bad stroke, me being more than 3,000 miles away feel useless. She's as ok as she's going to be, in a nursing home now as she needs 24 hr care. Next my husbands grandmother dies, ok she was getting on a bit but even though we know that it never really makes you feel any better at the time. Now my 14 year old daughter has a lump in her breast, went to the doctor hoping it was just a cyst. He sent her for an ultra sound and that has come back that she has a 'mass' as they put it. Of course we dont know if it's benign or malignant yet. We have now made an appointment with the sergeon to discuss what my daughters next step is. So I'm asking if you wouldn't mind saying a little prayer and keeping your fingers crossed. Sorry to burden all you nice people but I do feel a little better for getting it all off my chest, trying to keep it all in here as I don't want to worry my daughter when we're not even sure there is anything to worry about yet. Thanks for listening. Fiona. xx

And I hope to god your daughter is ok and it's nothing serious-when do you get the results? I will be thinking of you-and I pray you have a wonderful 2007-cos you definately deserve it. love catherine xx

Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts! Catherine, Just got the ultra sound back which told us it's was a Mass not a cyst as I'd hoped. Our doctor then refered us to a surgeon, my daughters appointment with her is Dec 1st. I got the impression from the doctor that a biopsy would be done at that time and that she would be explaining everything to us and if to wait a couple of months, do a rescan to see if it's grown or not or to go ahead with the biopsy as soon as. Not sure I like the idea of waiting, think I'd rather know now and be safe. Of course my daughter does have a say and she's said herself she'd rather know now! We will listen to the surgeon and then deside, although I think my daughter has already made up her mind and she more stubborn than me. And thats saying something. Fiona. xxx

It's so tough when lots of rotten things happen at once isn't it? Thinking of you through this toigh time with your family and ... as others have said your 'virtual' family on GR will support you as much as they can. Hugs to you and your daughter (((((((())))))))))) Kate
