Spent two hours at the gym this afternoon having a great workout, trying to keep my mind off of the “boobs”. Thursday would soon be here…..When I got home there was a message for me from the Surgeon’s office….Sorry, we will have to cancel your appointment for Thursday morning. Please call and I will explain.
My heart sank, all I could think was no I can’t wait any longer..I have to know what is going on.
When I returned the call I was asked if I could switch my appointment for someone who has cancer…my results…NEGATIVE! AND I CRIED…for the first time I BAWLED!
I actually don’t think that I would have cried so hard if the results had been that I had cancer.
There is “something” there so I have to wait for the Surgeon to review the reports BUT NO CANCER!!
I can’t express the relief I am feeling! This experience will not be for nothing. I am determined to help others going through this journey.
Please continue to share your stories (I know that we have some coming in the near future)and I will definitely keep working on helping others in their journey.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers!
This past two months has definitely put many things into perspective for me…the importance of Family and Friends!

Jeannie, I am so happy for you and your family!! I cried happy tears for you, too! Such a releif.
Jeannie, I can’t express enough how happy I am about your good news. I also want to tell you that I think it is wonderful that you shared your journey on you “Gems from Jeannie” blog. I am sure you have shown a lot of woman the importance of having regular mammograms and breast exams. You alone may have saved a life. You have shown woman that are going through the same frightening and frustrating experience that the fears and anxieties are normal, and that it doesn’t always have a bad ending. I wish I was with you right now to give you a big hug, and of course to celebrate with a few glasses of wine,
Love Always, Lynn oxox

Jeannie, just back from a quick 3 day visit with my Oma in Ottawa – she is turning 97 on the15th – and with my mind heavy with thoughts of longevity, God’s purpose in our lives,I read your post. VERY THANKFUL for you and your loved ones receiving this terrific news. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! So can’t wait to give you a hug, such good news. Enjoy your new mindset, and as I gather from your blog, your sense of purpose to help others in this journey. Xo to you and see you soon, Anita
Jeannie, I can’t express how happy I am for you and your excellent news. Thanks you so much for sharing with everyone. Congratulations!!
Just read the good news. That is wonderful. Even though we have not seen each other in years, I felt so sad when I read the possibility of you having cancer. Now I feel so relieved and happy for you. It’s nice to hear a happy ending for a change. This has been a difficult year for me with the death of my brother and mother-in-law. And a close friend’s husband at 49 – from cancer. Good news like this is so wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Arisa for your support! I hope that I will definitely be able to help others!
Anita, I would love the hug and I am waiting eagerly to see more posts from you!
Thanks Sharon. It definitely gave me an understanding of the stress and hope I can help others.
Thanks Gayle and yes, for me it was great news and hopefully can help others by sharing. I will keep the blog going with updates and encouragement for others.
