Lump 3
Went to the teaching hospital where my sister is a dept head very early in the morning.
First u got to register and get a number.
I got to see my sister's new office with its personal bathroom and it was nice.
Its with her help that I was able to secure an appointment with the specialists so soon.
She also helped me tremendously today.
The prof. was not worried about the many cysts on my breasts cos they are not problematic.
The cysts might get too big and cause discomfort and when that happens u go get an aspiration where they poke a needle and 'suck out' the liquid.
The prof. was more concerned about my single fibroad and recommended that I do a biopsy.
Since I am on blood thinners, the safer procedure is for me to stop taking the blood thinners for a week and then do the biopsy.
I asked him what might happen if we did it today.
I am used to having bruises on my body complements of taking the medications and my clumsiness. I was willing to take the risk so it was arranged that I got a guided biopsy.
They make a tiny slit on ur breasts and poke in a gadget and thru it extracts some cells.
Local anesthetic is used so u dont feel any pain during the procedure.
All the medical staff were nice and helpful but I also found a number of new friends amongst the other patients.
They were well informed and willing to share their personal experience.
There was camaraderie amongst us as we waited our turns.
I have to wait till mid Nov till the lab is able to tell me the results of my biopsies.
More waiting. Its ok. I am hopeful.
Now I am on my bed at my condo.
The anesthetic is wearing off. I am starting to feel very uncomfortable.
Just took an asprin.
Will have an early night.
Tomorrow is a new day.

oh i have come back several times to hear how you are doing june.
i am glad that the doctor is not worried about the lumps and now you are waiting for the other results.
we will wait with you june and be looking for good news.
june, when you are on blood thinners are you allowed to take aspirins?. the only pain killer my sister and mom can take is tylenol. they are both on blood thinners.
take care of yourself now june and let your mom take care of you too..love terry
Hi Terry. Thank you for being 'there'.
Actually the fibroadadenoma is also one of the lumps.
No choice but to wait for the results.
I am doing ok and will continue to live life to the fullest!
