Think of me.... We just got back from the hospital, they can't be certain the lump isn't cancerous so they're having me come in for surgery TOMORROW and they'll cut it out. I'm nervous about having to be completely knocked out again like my first surgery. I wish they could do it with me conscious but they can't. They really rushed through everything today except for the parts where they kept us waiting for hours... we got there for the mamogram and they actually did an ultrasound instead when I got in there, I got to see the ultrasound as they were doing it and the lump shows up as a big dark sphere. They said it was about 1.7 to 2 centemeters diameter. Then I got examined by another set of doctors and they wanted to cut it out, they said if I left it in they couldn't say for CERTAIN it was benign, and I would have to come in every 6 months to have it examined. So I signed all the papers for them to do the surgery and then had to go give blood for the blood tests. That part was traumatic because the lady taking the blood seemed to not know what she was doing at ALL, she was very unsure, couldn't find the vein, THEN she bothered to look at the papers for me and realized she should have been taking it from my other arm because of the lump being on my left side... she finally drew blood from my right hand, and she twisted it coming out so that hurt more than sticking it in. I had dizzy spells in the elevator on the way to the car, we didn't get to eat till about 2pm. They told us to call their number after 3pm to find out when to come for the surgery tomorrow, so we were stuck there till then. Surgery is at 10am tomorrow. Please keep me in your thoughts.
I will defiantely keep you in my prayers that all will turn out good. I too have a lump they are watching, so far, no growth. I know what you have been through, and it is no fun at all. You have my prayers and understanding with you. *great big giant hugs*

Dearest Fae, All our thoughts, hopes and prayers will be with you beginning now throughout your recovery time. If you need anything, please let us know.
Well I'm back home and feeling better than yesterday! They cut out the lump in my breast and they'll be running tests and stuff trying to make sure it wasn't cancer. I go back on the 28th for follow-up, I guess I find out stuff then, and get my stitches taken out. I actually don't know how many stitches I have yet because I'm not allowed to take the bandage off the wound till tomorrow! I was really sore and weak and dizzy yesterday and I coudln't keep down water without throwing up... NOT fun! But last night I had broth and grapes, and today I'm eating normally so far. I'll just be kind of taking it easy the next few days. Looking forward to getting my BATH Monday!! They won't let me shower or bathe till Monday! ak! The pain when I woke up from surgery was actually less than my chronic pain is at times, that was a little scary... but it's good that I haven't needed the pain pills since the first day. Thanks everyone for your well-wishes and keeping me in your thoughts!! *hugs!*
yay!!! hope you feel better very soon and i hope the results are good!!! dont worry about getting too smelly monday is only 3 days away!!
