| Highly Unusual... is what Dr C said after they took the ultra-sound. Patsy had difficulty locating the cyst -- she pressed pretty hard, and I'm sensitive, always, to begin with. So, she had to work hard, (read press deeply and hard and over and over multiple times) to find *something* -- ANYthing...and it hurt! She guessed they had got a lymph node on the x-ray. *ennh* Wrong-o. When she left to get the snaps looked at by the radiologist... I waited, and waited, and waited...and by now I was having deja-vu from when I had "Mammo Take II" and the Radiologist came out to talk to me, so, in my gut of guts, I just knew someone other than Patsy would be coming to chat. Enter Dr C. Dr C said this is highly unusual. This rarely occurs. He asked when I am scheduled for my biopsy. I told him I don't have a clue, I meet with the Surgeon on Thursday, next. He said, "you agreed to have the ultra-sound, well we need to get an appointment for more mammography"...I said it took a long time last time to get an appt. -- that they were very busy, he told me that it isn't an emergency, that this was just very unusual, and that to do it right, they needed "roll-over" shots, and more magnification shots, and would I agree to more mammography? I said yes, like I have a choice? Hah! Again, I told him about the difficulties getting in for xray et al, and he said, it's not like you have an appendicitis, it can wait a week, or a month...[hah -- yeah, if it was his left nut, he may be feeling it was more *urgent* IMNSHO...] that he just think the rollover et all mammo would be better before I get the biopsy and get "tender"! Jeeeeze. I am "sensitive" in that area to begin with -- and just getting pummelled by different devices, [yes, ultra-sound can hurt if used to dig and rub over and over to *find* something that isn't located, ugh!] after recently being manipulated for the mammogram...well it hurts. It's kind of like when I got my ears pierced, despite everyone doing it, and people saying it didn't hurt, it really really hurt me! I wanted to stop at one lobe! Add FMS and MPS to pushing, prodding and trigger and tender points, and you get pain! LOL On the plus side, Linda talked to Dr C and told him she would fit me in right away!!! She's an angel!
Waiting more and more would drive me over the edge of the edge ;-). An absolute doll to put herself under more pressure at work. Dr C tried to question her out of fitting me in -- but Linda was firm [thank you linda]. She took the x-rays requested, and came back not too long after, with Dr C's request for some MORE mammos thank you very much! So, I waited *outside* in the waiting room, and was told to go home by Linda, because Dr C was going to read them carefully to try to figure out what's going on. So, this is sort of a limbo. But, I will be meeting with Koo on Thursday, and I will be scheduling the biopsy et al. Oh, yes, another gem that came from Dr C -- he said they are definitely NOT cysts! Oy! That is not what I wanted to hear!!! Dang!!! If it was a cyst, that would mean it wasn't cancer...that isn't what was determined by the ultra-sound. So, here I is, splitting headache, on the verge of a migraine that has haunted me since I woke up...time for some Rx, and maybe some zzzzzzzz's. I did get gas in Mom's car, and I did get me a ceiling fan for $25, and we had ice-cream cones at KaPaws in Coupeville -- yum! Peace! Prayers and light and healing energy please? Thank you in advance! ##
