It's so quiet on here tonight.....
I am so tired I wasn't going to update about my tests today but it turns out I can't sleep despite being exhausted (too much stress this week) so I guess I'll tell my story.
I had mammogram imaging from a few angles and then with a magnifier. Apparently the first mammogram showed micro-calcifications which can be a no-no or can be the result of the surgery I had this year. So they recommended mammogram in 6 months which is already scheduled from the high risk clinic. They checked out all my lumps on both breasts with ultrasound. This is the part where I get a little confused but I think there was something that showed on the MRI that needs biopsied. So they made sure they could see it with the ultrasound and will do a "little biopsy" (my term after this year of biopsies. This will be # 4 little ones and one big one). Then I have to have a quick MRI check to be sure it's gone or be seen or something. (I'd had a lot of scans and a lot of information in a short time and just couldn't keep up with everything clearly by that point).
The surgery NP was pleased with my healing. She thinks the lump I've been feeling is just dense tissue which is why it didn't show up on the MRI or ultrasound. If they decide further biopsy is needed she'll call me and she's going to coordinate what they need in 6 months with what high risk needs in 6 months with my PA so I don't have to do a lot of waiting.
