Hey, doesa anyonea wanna Panini???

Well, continuing the story where I left off, I had to go for my latest Panini.  First, let me tell you, having dense breasts should mean that Panini's would be a little uncomfortable, however, I really don't seems to be bothered by them.  This time was a little different as they had to do some specialized compressions. Pancakes anyone??  After the Panini I had to have ultrasound, this doesn't hurt, it just takes a loooooong time.  After the US (ultrasound) I had to wait for the Radiologist to make sure they didn't need anymore images.  The tech came into the room and said they were done. Now, if everything is okay then I just leave, if not, the Radiologist would come speak with me.  So I asked the tech, "Is everything okay then" ?  She then told me the Radiologist was too busy to come to see me, but the lump (maybe I should it give it a name??) had irregular borders and increased blood flow and the report was being transcribed STAT. STAT!!! I could be talking about a TV show.

Whoa, not feeling the love AT ALL!!!

Well I already knew by the time I was home this was not going to be a good day.  At this point I knew I would have to find a new Breast Surgeon so I went online and let my fingers do the walking. "Ring, Ring" (my phone), who could that be?  My current Breast Surgeon called me, HERSELF, wow this must be important.  She said the Radiologist called her with the report and I needed a biopsy right away.  I told her I was not coming back to her and once again "I did not feel the love", actually she asked why I was not coming back and was very cold and didn't seem to care about why too much, she seemed a little annoyed that I would not be her patient anymore.

I don't want to bore you anymore today with the details, soooo to be continued............

  1. Beth, you are doing the right thing. You need to find a Doctor that cares and you are completely comfortable with. A second opinion never hurts either.

    Still thinking and sending best wishes for speedy recovery. Don't let the day to day stuff worry you look beyond that point!
