Evening everyone.
It has been a very long and trying day. The wait for the biopsy was terrible and I just tried to do things around the house to stay busy but the time just dragged.
Finally it was time to go to the appointment. When we got there I had nothing to fill out so we got to wait again! I WILL get good at waiting if nothing else through this!!! I finally went back and they did an ultra sound to look over the areas again. The dr. came in and started. The lidocaine(numbing meds) burned like crazy!! When he took the samples I could feel it. It was so painful that I was getting so dizzy. He took 3 samples from the main area and then 2 samples from under my arm(lymph nodes). He said he could see where the dr was concerned about the nodes but they really didn't look bad. That is a little encouraging since everything else "doesn't look good".
Another mammogram to see the markers he put in to show where they took the samples and I was done. My mammogram tech was only a year younger than me and said that she checked herself not that long ago but was going to do it again. Meeting someone with breast cancer only a year old seemed to shake her up a bit. If God performs a miracle and Dr. White is wrong, at least my family, friends and I will be more aware and will make others more aware of this disease.
I have been resting on the couch (per the order of my Pastor's Wife and dear friend Cheryl O.!) and plan on staying here the rest of the night! I am very sore and extremely exhausted.
Thank you all for your love, prayers and support. The food is excellent too!!! :)
I hope you are feeling a bit better by now. Don't you just love it when they tell you it isn't going to hurt and then it does like the dickens?
