So I've had ultrasounds every 6 months and then had my normal mammogram in December. I wasn't worried because the June ultrasound was normal but I was called to come in for a ultrasound guided biopsy of the right side of my breast in early January. They couldn't biopsy everything so I had a mammogram guided biopsy last week. The results were benign but there's a bunch of stuff in there that needs to come out because it is precancerous so I'm waiting for a surgeon appointment in 2 weeks.

I've been so very anxious and unable to sleep or eat. Now I just want to do nothing but sleep. My therapist did an assessment and I'm moderately depressed. I have a telehealth visit with my pdoc Monday so hopefully she can help

This is the longest process. I will be so glad to at least have my surgery scheduled. I image that will be another month or 2 from my surgery appointment. This is a breast surgeon so anyone needing breast surgery sees her and since I'm not believed to have cancer I'll be lower priority (thank God!).

I just need to be able to talk about it sometimes here. This is really hard and it has dragged on so long. I know I'll be fine no matter what but I just need a yes or no and to know what the surgery will involve.

Thanks for listening.

I’m glad your feeling up to talking about it. Very happy you got wonderful news ! That’s a great thing.

You know my prayers continue
