Day 3a: OHMYHECK!

Day 3: OHMYHECK! Love you guys! They placed three metal markers in/near the masses. The ultrasound biopsy was far less painful – but Lefty is a grumpy butt anyway – so it hurt. Hurts now. They had a hard time getting the bleeding to stop – nothin like adding pressure to something you have poked, prodded and taken a few bites out of… And the cherry on top was the mammogram at the end. Oy! By the end I did have the Dr. sold on the laser beam concept – he even said that the metal markers could assist with accuracy! I’m telling you… It could be a behavior modification tool for those who have more conversation with breasts than eyeballs! I did like the Austin Powers small firearms idea that Nick tossed out – but weapons instructor Griff was quick to point out potential recoil issues. Truth. Important things to consider!

It’s gonna smart tonight – should have a call next Tuesday with info. Can’t do much of anything for 3 days. Which is perhaps the worst of all. y’all

Day 3 – Biopsy day.

Day 3 – Biopsy day.

I finally read the brochure. Apparently I will have a marker placed during the stereo biopsy… Like a treasure map!? Will I have to worry about pirates now? Of course it is a “stereo” ultrasound, so maybe they are installing a headset jack!? Or maybe Bluetooth?

Gotta admit I’m a little less enthused about the morning after reading the brochure and glad they will give me a little something to take the edge off. Double bonus – I won’t be able to do much of anything all weekend but whine and work – so I should be getting caught up on some work stuff.

Today is the first step toward answers. Looking forward to some pathology data.

Day 2: Medical team is moving fast…

Day 2: Medical team is moving fast…

Gotta hand it to the medical team, surgeons office just called to schedule me… Um… ok… who are you again and what are we scheduling? Consult… next Friday. Remove just ol’lefty the suicidal one or take his relatively healthy good looking sister on the right at the same time? Good question. But… biopsies have not even happened yet. Sure… I am fine. Can I get a new set with laser beams or something? I mean that would be pretty cool right? And you can’t just do one… because in about 10 years that will look ridiculous.

Day 1: KillerLeftBoob….

Day 1: KillerLeftBoob….

So… apparently my left breast is trying to kill me. Rude of it really. I asked the doctor if I could have a copy of the ultrasound pictures to post on Facebook – I was going to ask you all to guess the gender. tongue emoticon

Tomorrow is biopsy time – 3 of them. Two are ultrasound and one is radio. So really, we won’t and don’t have any answers until mid-next week when those tests come back. That is when we get the what, how badly and recommended treatment plan. Potential good news, the lymph nodes under my arms look good on the ultrasound.

Right now, I am contemplating the benefits of being an Amazon… I imagine my golf swing would improve…. and I am ambidextrous… so archery is something I should consider taking up again…

I am the kind of person that likes to tackle things head on. The topic is not off limits guys. I would rather talk about it. This is my next adventure.
