Yup and it’s my little black cloud. Nothing can ever be easy. Sometimes I think it’s my mindset, that I expect the worst anymore. I honestly figured there were no worries getting a mammogram, necessary evil, kinda like an annual exam. Nope.
I had the ultrasound on my left breast this morning. It’s a cyst, right? I knew it wasn’t quite as simple as that when the doctor came in and looked at it and re-imaged it. He is pretty sure it’s benign, but because it’s deep and you can’t feel it, there are no absolutes. It’s about 1.5 cm in size (so a bit over 1/2 inch). I had several choices:
1. Ignore it and wait until my breast turns black from cancer and falls off (or nothing happens).
2. Have it watched closely for the next two years with multiple ultrasounds.
3. Do a needle biopsy and find out exactly what it is. (This was my choice).
They scheduled it for next Thursday - so think of me. A little local anesthesia, a hollow needle, ultrasound and a doctor. It will be fine….right?
