Today I had a flashback of almost 18 months ago as I sat in a surgeon's office having another biopsy done. Let me back up a bit. I found another breast lump the end of November. Within 24 hours I was in Dr. Otteman's office (my oncologist). He sent me to have an ultra sound which basically came back inconclusive. He decided to watch it for a few weeks to see what happened. I went back to see him yesterday and the lump was still there. He decided to have me see my surgeon. Today I saw Dr. Hardy. After reviewing my file he decided to do a needle biopsy which is much less invasive than the type of biopsy that I had done 1 1/2 years ago. We should have results in about a week.
In the past 6 weeks I have seen Dr. Otteman three times, Dr. Hardy, as well as Dr. Yee (my radiation oncologist). All three doctors feel that there is a very low percent chance that this is cancer. I am not panicking or even upset although it is hard not to think about the "what ifs". I am praying that this is nothing, but know that God will be right at my side should I have to deal with cancer again. I'll update my blog when I get the results back.
