I went to Breast Center #2 today. I had ANOTHER mammogram (#5 since 12/15) and bilateral ultrasounds. I now have cysts in my other breast which until now I've been told had nothing. Honestly it makes more sense to me that I have cysts (not the problem, just to be watched) bilaterally than just on one side. But.........the reason I'm having a biopsy is a lesion and they found a 2nd one of those. They think. So next week I have to go up and have another biopsy (#3 plus it will add another mammogram at the end to be sure things are in place).

Then there is the MAOI thing....I'm going to be talking to anesthesia soon about working around it. They've done this in several prior surgeries so I have no reason to think they can't now but everyone seems so surprised I think ti's an option that I'm getting nervous about it.

If I can't get the surgery with the MAOI I'll have to find a way to get through 2 weeks without it . It will be hell. I may wind up IP and if that happens I don't know if the psych hospital will release me for surgery and then return until I'm back on the MAOI? I have to get in touch with my pdoc to find that out.

It was a very long day and I'm exhausted. I'm trying to stay up late enough I won't wake for 2-3 hours in the night. It's rough. 5 hours in the car plus a lot of hanging around waiting for them to look at old and new imaging was a lot.

Thanks for listening.
