How did I get here?

Wed June 3
Ow, what’s that under my arm…. That hurts!
Maybe I should check my breast …..
Oh my, that feels really different
Nurse, I’d like to make an appointment

Thurs June 4
Hi Doc, Can you feel this? It feels really different.
Oh, don't worry about that, it’s just a cyst. It’s a big one… but it doesn’t feel like cancer.
Still I’d like a Mammo as soon as possible.

[ I proceeded to have a ridiculously fun weekend (thinking I just had a cyst) ! At first I was annoyed with my doctor for being "wrong" but I have such fun memories of this last weekend B.C. that I now look at it as a blessing! The birthday cake/cactus scene will be with me forever to provide amusement and the wines that I got to try over the weekend and the time with friends were so delightful. ]


Tues June 9
In Radiology, Mammo completed but…
We’d like to send you right over to ultrasound…. Its just across the hall.
That’s not a cyst is it? …..
No, it’s not a cyst….. it’s a mass…… in fact it’s three masses.
You mean cancer?
We’ll need to take a biopsy. Do you have any questions?
No.......I’m just scared.
We'll help you get started - you'll get it taken car of. How does 9:30 tomorrow morning work for the biopsy?
Perfect
