Color Me Annoyed

Ok, first, Rachel is, once again, victorious. CT this morning of the chest and abdomen (first abdominal CT in nearly 2 years, so I was nervous) was initially considered fine when my oncologist looked at it. Of course, last week, that's also what we said about my MRI. Apparently on a second look-see, they found an area of concern on the right breast, about 2cm in size. I can't feel it. My doctor didn't seem to be able to feel it. Hmm. The radiologist recommended a biopsy, but my Cedar Rapids onc called my Mayo onc and between them they decided to first have Mayo look at the images. They'll determine what to do from there after that step. Shrug.

Worst case scenario, this is a NEW fun kind of actual breast cancer which will need to be surgified, chemo'd and radiated. Best case scenario, the radiologist here is a paranoid idiot. Middle of the road scenario is we have to have a biopsy and go from there. Personally, I enjoy slightly modified best case -- radiologist is paranoid, not an idiot, and erring on the side of caution. Mayo will tell him, "thanks for trying, but please leave this stuff to the big kids." Regardless, there's currently no spread, that's good news.

Mostly I'm just annoyed. I do NOT have time for this. : ) Next week I take my last Master's class of the summer, the following week I take a class on how to teach other teachers to use our new technology, the week after that I teach the teachers on the new technology, and then, wham, it's time for school.

I'm cranky, so perhaps shouldn't write more now or I'll lose half of my following. : ) When I know more, I'll write more!

Carpe diem!!! : ) Trela

(And the color of annoyed? Scarlet, of course...with big purple and yellow flames. ARGH.)
