		<description>Dude. 

I&#039;m just absolutely speechless. Truly. I&#039;m going to click my ruby slippers together three times and chant, &quot;A Free Man is just fine. A Free Man is just fine. A Free Man is just fine.&quot; And then I&#039;m going to do that about 2,000 times.

I&#039;m thinking of you, hon. And hoping those dark corners of your mind can shut off for a little while so that you can have some peace.

Love you.

		<description>I take a break from blogs for a week and I come back to this? THIS!? No. I simply won&#039;t believe that anything can go wrong. Thinking of you and yours and denying, denying, denying.</description>

		<description>The waiting is the hard part until you know what is real.  You sound like a realistic, down to earth person who knows what is important in your life.  Hold tight.

		<description>So this is what I find when I clean out my random unread posts in my reader. How is this the post that was missed?  Jesus H. Christ-- I&#039;d be nervous also, how can you not be.  And I agree that for unknown reasons writing about these very personal things is somewhat of a weight of your shoulders, I know it is for me.

Whatever the outcome--
Attitude baby, that&#039;s what it&#039;s all about.

		<description>I just spent 3 weeks worrying about a lump in my breast. What goes through your mind at 3am when you can&#039;t sleep is not something I want to repeat.

Luckily for me, my tests were clear. I&#039;m hoping the same for you.

		<description>Chris, it would be very hipocritical of me to tell you not to worry and to say everything will be okay, because I am a total hypochondriac and always think I have cancer, and when my husband mentions he has any kind of pain, I think HE has cancer and beg him to go to the doctor.  I guess I&#039;m a sort of hypochondriac for other people, not just me.  Hmmmm, I&#039;m not doing what I set out to do which was to make you feel better.  

I just went through this whole mess of MRIs and bloodtests due to some serious irregularities in my cycle and severe menstrual pain, for the doctor to tell me that all of the tests are all normal and if I continue to feel weird, i should get an endoscopy.  I just don&#039;t understand how my body could be all fucked up if nothing is wrong.  But there is a thing called stress that can explain all of it, if the tests come back with nothing wrong.  

The point is, you don&#039;t know yet.  And humans spend probably 90% of their lives worried about possible scenarios that will never actually happen.  That said, i&#039;m worried about you, because, like I said, I&#039;m a detached hypochondriac that projects my hypochondriac feelings onto others.  Anyway, what I want to say is I&#039;m right there with you in worry.  The only reason i actually say this is because i know how pointless it is to tell you not to worry, because people say it to me all the time and it makes no difference.

		<description>ok. I finally thought of a comment. If you multiply anything by zero you get zero. Go to the bottom of my Special Ed Maths class. Ergo you have no more chance of having cancer than you did three weeks ago. Mind you if you DIVIDE anything by zero you get an answer which is &#039;undefined&#039;. This of course is of no help to you whatsoever.</description>
