Hi to all those out in the cyber world that might read this blog. I'm kinda thinking I'm talking to 3 people (all of whom I know) but greetings nonetheless!
I recently turned 37 and thought to myself, "Hey! You should write an update post". And then it slipped my mind. That is, until the doctor called.
Four days after my birthday I had my latest MRI scan. I have become kinda "cocky" with these scans and checkups. I had just seen my surgeon and oncologist two weeks earlier, they saw/felt nothing, so I wasn't worried. The next day my surgeon called.
"Hey Jenn, I bet you're guessing something is up since I'm the one calling you." Actually no, no I wasn't but not I am!!
Turns out the MRI showed a spot that they want to check further. It's 5mm and on the same side as before. I crumbled. Thank goodness I was home so that I could have one of the ugliest cries of my life. I'm talking crying so hard my hands started tingling from lack of oxygen. The cats looked at me like I was a crazy woman. (Let's be honest, they look at me like that most of the time.)
So a week later I have calmed down and have come to terms with it. Of course this "thing" could be lots of different things. Lymph node, scar tissue, tumor.... I think I'm being a big pessimist since last time I wasn't very negative and it turned out bad.
My biopsy is Wednesday morning. It's a MRI-Guided breast biopsy which is new to me. It sounds like a long time in the MRI tube. Sigh.... Then I'm off to get a mammogram. I love how they squish the hell out of your boob right after poking around in it. Sounds like a great way to spend my Wednesday morning!!!
So, hopefully my return to this blog will be a short lived one. If you stop by, say hi! And maybe send some positive vibes my way Wednesday (August 12th) morning. :)
