Swimming Lopsided

26th November 2009
The most welcome news arrived today!  MRI showed no tumor in the right breast, hallelujah!!  The results were so late because it appears that they may have found a third 'something' (which in no way makes it more serious or put me in any danger) in the left side.  They are not sure if it is a tumor or not and the medics were in a bit of a quandry as to what to do with me.  They asked me if I wanted an ultrasound of the other two masses because if they weren't cancerous, then they could save my breast by only performing a lumpectomy.  The nurse's advice to me was if it was her, she would still go with taking off the entire breast just to be sure. So that is what I am going with. I have accepted now that I am going to lose one side of me so may as well go with it and know in my own mind that everything has gone instead of forever worrying that it may still be lurking.  So all systems are go!  Op will take place around 12 noon at Bowen Hospital in Ngaio on Tuesday 1st December.
