So, Tuesday I had my 6 month mammogram recheck. I have to go every 6 months because I have fibrocystic breasts and there is a lump in my left one that they are CAREFULLY monitoring.
Well, I noticed before my last 'cycle' it had become HUGE! I mean, took up the whole left side of my breast HUGE! But, a few days later it shrunk again. Still, I let Michael feel it and he about jumped out of the chair. He screamed, "You better have that looked at!" I giggled and told him it's a cyst - they grow and shrink along with my hormones. Besides I go for my mammogram on Tuesday.
So, I tell the radiologist that story and she brings the films back to the dr. She comes back and says, "I'll say its grown and on top of that, you now have a lump in the right breast." My response? "I knew it grew, but it went down from where it was 2 weeks ago - that's good, right?" SHe agreed and added, "We need to take accurate measurements of the one we've been watching, make sure the fluid still looks clear, and then verify that the new one in the right IS just a cyst." Normally, she would've taken me right over to the ultrasound room, but NOT that day. She was completely booked and now I have to wait until Monday at 11am to have it done.
I have to admit I'm a little more nervous than usual, but I also understand everything is in God's hands and worrying will do nothing but give me a migraine and an ulcer. So, I'll do my best to take deep breaths and wait to have the answer.
In the meantime, asking for some additional prayers would be appreciated - thanks.
