Sigh (Again)

My new doc spoke with Eric this afternoon. I need to return to Mayo for an ultrasound of ANOTHER questionable area next Thursday. I'm slated for the ultrasound, a possible biopsy (depending on the ultrasound), and meetings with this new specialist and my oncologist (which I would have had anyway, we just hoped we'd be able to cancel them).

As far as we can tell, the area originally flagged by the radiologist in Waterloo was ok, but there's a different area that Mayo has flagged. My mammogram was deemed normal, which is frustrating, but still good news. An abnormal mamm and abnormal MRI would certainly have painted a darker picture.

And it could still be nothing. Thanks for the positive thoughts and prayers.

Oh, to all my cute work people who ask BEHIND me and are nervous to ask me themselves: I currently have ONE breast (the right one) and one VERY good prosthetic (the left one). (Therefore all of these questionable tests are on the RIGHT side... because doing a breast MRI or mamm on the left side is impossible.) It's been like that for a year and a half. And yes, I'm ok with that.

Carpe diem. Trela
