sinkwriterThey had me worried for a while there, today during my follow-up mammogram appointment. I was there for over 2 hours. They kept taking shots from different angles and magnifications, and then the doctor wanted more images to get a better look, and then she wanted an ultrasound to double-check some more...
I'm thankful for the thoroughness but I was so worried that it would mean I was going to have to have more biopsies. Especially because she kept taking another look at the cyst they'd wanted to keep an eye on. I was afraid that meant it had grown, and that I might have cancer.
Thankfully, she thought everything looked fine and benign for the time being. I have to go back again in another 6 months so they can be sure, but if I can make it through that appointment, then my doctor thinks I should be able to start making it a yearly appointment instead of a 'this looks like a concern' diagnostic sort of thing.
Whew.
Thanks to all of you who had everything crossed for me. (I hope you aren't sore! LOL.) Seriously, thank you for the love and support. It was of great comfort.
