I saw my breast doctor today. This was a new one for me and I really, really liked her. I've liked the other 2 I've seen but this one is my favorite and I'll be trying hard to stay with her. She listened and took extra time to find images of a cyst I was concerned about. It's huge and I know if I find it somehow it will scare me. But she couldn't find it so I probably won't either, especially since she was operating from scan pictures. She did show me how huge it is (it's 1.25 inches across) but the MRIs will keep an eye on that. And I don't have to have an MRI for a year! Finally some positive progress.

I did clear up one misconception that I had; I knew I was at high risk because certain cells in my breast are rogue. I thought that meant I was at risk for cancer in those cells but now I know I'm at risk for other cancers too. Trying not to think about that too much.

She even guessed that I was a healthcare professional because of how I was telling her things. I always appreciate when people know that and remember it; she documented it. It turns out her husband is a PT with the company I worked for before I went on disability.


I'm so glad to have good doctors. I think they really heavily screen the providers who work in the breast center. I have yet to see anyone even look tired. They are so kind and patient and I've never been uncomfortable despite being half-naked.


So now I'm home. Tomorrow I have to get up early for me to return my rental car. I had planned to go later but my pdoc called today and asked to move my appointment from next week to tomorrow. So I have to get the car taken care of earlier. I wish I could say no but my pdoc never asks for changes.
