| Last update for the weekend. Another shock to the ol soul .. stress with a capital SSSSS! Dr Denena phoned about 8:00PM. I had left a voicmail with the need to hear what they learned yesterday. Dr D did really well by phoning and telling me the data /resulrs. It has to be pretty tough on her to phone and potentially deliver bad news..she's an angel. But I digress, to shorten the story, suffice to say that it appears that the cyst that didn't appear on the ultrasound, but it did on he mammogram(s), they figure it's in really deep, and it probably isn't a cyst, and it can't be touched via the procedures outlined below in previous entries, as it's too deep, so there looks like there will be some sort of surgery happening. The question has been brought up that they may want to have a surgeon there to get at it, and if deemed necessary, to take the "cyst" out -- how much of the breast it would entail I don't know as of today. Dr D was fantastic, and she offered to follow up and contact Dr H, a woman surgeon associated with WGH to see if she could do the surgery -- and also said she'd talk to Kaplan to see if he prefers a different surgeon, one more local to Swedish, perform the biopsy and procedure...or, maybe go to Everett for the surgery. She's a humane gem. She's trying to convince me to not stress until we know something for sure -- but easier said than done. Well, finally my eyes are droopy, gotta brush the ivories, and listen to Rebecca and maybe drift off to sleep...??? Ooopsie, I drifted off while typing; send light and healing prayers to help me be ok. Peace!
