Keeping you in my thoughts. This point is so important: "take what you've learned about being your own advocate with infertility and make sure you are applying it to other areas of your health."

You are so right about being your own advocate..with anything medical. We've had our experiences with that with Tommy. I'm praying everything comes out great with the results!

Katie, I've said it before and i'll say it again, YOU ARE AWESOME. Really. Seriously. You are one freaking incredible woman.

While I hate that you've had to fight so hard, for way too many things that way too many people take for granted, I am so impressed with your strength to stand up for what is right.

It isn't easy to put yourself out there while you are

OY. When I was 19, I found a lump, and I'm so grateful I got a mammogram. Of course, I was met with eyes rolling (one nurse even told me that it was no big deal that my aunt had cancer at 25, it wasn't genetic! Seriously!) It turned out to be nothing, but it was definitely important to check out.

Fingers crossed. xoxo

2012-01-16T11:58:58.035-06:00

I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this, but I'm so happy that you are not fighting this fight alone anymore.

Praying you get great news after your MRI.

I'm glad you pushed for it to. I am so sorry you are going through this - all of this. I live in Orlando as well and will remember these organizations in case I know anyone who ever needs this services. Good luck to you.

Wow, Katie. You are so brave -- so many people have learned so much from you. I'm sorry about the results of the mammogram, and so thankful that you are getting the care you need. You are in my thoughts and prayers that the MRI will show that everything's ok, and I'm wishing you peace and strength because I'm sure this must be very scary. Thinking of you with lots of love.

It is maddening the lengths women have to go to in the name of diagnostic testing. So frustrated for you but so glad you stuck to your guns.

Here's hoping the MRI helps to definitively determine what is being seen.

Hang in.

2012-01-15T16:14:56.032-06:00

So glad that you were able to get this done. I am so glad you acted as an advocate for yourself and found the support you needed to follow through. I am sending all my positive thoughts and love your way for the MRI.

So impressed with and proud of you. I hope your struggle and the news coverage that will make others aware of it will ensure this doesnt happen as frequently in the future. I hope they don't find anything upsetting during the breast MRI.

2012-01-15T11:36:09.035-06:00

I know the mixed feelings that I had for you after reading that. I can't imagine what you are going through. I am so glad that you got the test done. Every woman, no matter her age, should have a right to proper health care. And thankfully you got the news involved. I will be praying that the nothing serious turns up from your MRI. Keep us posted!

2012-01-15T11:30:08.306-06:00

Oh, Katie. Tears for you as I read this. Why?Because as much as IF sucks, it's that lesson you've learned to be your own advocate that got you the mammogram that you needed. I will keep hoping beyond hope that it turns out to be nothing because somehow, sometime,you deserve to get a break.
