Weight Loss?

Now the doctors think that the blip on the mammogram might be a result of my recent weight loss. My doctor talked with the radiologist that read the original mammogram and now they are thinking that the “focal asymmetry” of my left breast may be “a residual island of globular tissue from the ducts” caused by my significant weight loss. There is that word significant again. Neither doctor thought it was serious. Yippy!

This gives me a sense of relief, but I must continue with the spot mammogram and ultrasound on Friday for further evaluation. I’m now fearing that I will end up with a lumpectomy because of a fat lump. Be thankful that they think it is a fat lump, Laurie.

Thank you, Dr. K for making the phone call to the radiologist. You have helped me gather peace. The next three days seem bearable because of your reassuring words.

For all those reading, please keep the healthy thoughts coming for Friday, May 2nd at 2:30 p.m. I would really like them to find nothing that needs to be removed or altered. I would like to keep my boobie as it is.

    Horay! I think they’re right. I had a mammogram today and talked with my doctor about the blip I had last year. She said, it’s hard to read those things and everyone is better safe that sorry. Then she said she was sorry for the anxiety she knew it cause. I hope this year is less eventful
