I'm having a lot of breast cancer anxiety tonight. I am a person who does best when I know as much as I can. And since I had 3 weeks to wait for my surgeon's appointment I've had time to read a lot and learn a lot. (And I still have 2 weeks and 3 days to go).
I kind of assumed when the biopsy report indicated 4 diagnoses that it wasn't great. But you can't just enter the 4 diagnoses and get an answer; I think some of this is on the more unusual side.
I already learned that the major diagnosis has a 7-10% false negative result. But now I learned that when it is combined with another diagnosis my risk of a false negative is 25%.
I'm fine. I took my PRN a few minutes ago and I'm going to read for a bit and hopefuly sleep. I'm mostly just wishing that my surgeon appointment is sooner than 2 weeks was sooner than 2 weeks and that I'll get good answers. One thing I read said that one diagnosis means a higher risk for both breasts. I want to know a lot more about that. Etc ad nasuseum.
Thanks for listening. I hate complaining. But right now I need to need to complain.
