Health Issue

Here's the scoop. I'll do a short version and then a long(er) version. You can choose one or both.

Aug 16th Annual medical checkup - docter found lump in right breast. She recommends diagnostic mammogram and ultra sound of right breast.

Aug 24th: mammogram taken. But they are concerned with the left breast - they take extra macro pictures of it. And recommend ultra sound of both breasts. A small cluster of microcalicifications are seen on the pictures. These can indicate changes in the breast cells and give us "a heads up". The right breast is okay - both breasts have benign cysts present.

Sept 4th: Ultrasound performed on both breasts with extra imaging of the left. I watch the screen and observe the "calcs" as they call them. The radiologist recommends an ultra sound guided biopsy.

Oct 1st: Biopsy done (will write more on that one!). Now waiting for final pathology report. It was sent to Vanderbilt University for a second opinion. Preliminary findings indicate atypical cells possibly non-invasive carcinoma. Will have path. report back Tues or Wed.

Time for bed will do the long version tomorrow!

Sleep well.
