After having two friends diagnosed with Breast Cancer I finally set up my appointment and went and got a Mammogram. I set the appointment up on Wednesday for Friday. Friday was a very snowy day. All winter long I have been taking care of my Mom's snow. So I went before my appointment and did her driveway and walks. I then met Rob for my appointment.
I wanted Rob to come (I am pretty sure I knew something was wrong, even though I didn't) It didn't take long to get in my pink gown and go to the mammogram room. My lady was really awesome and wanted to find the perfect angle to look at some calcium deposits they had seen last year. Mammograms really aren't that bad. Go get one!
After looking at them, they came and told me that they needed to do a ultra sound to get a better look at a spot. They told me it was close to the spots from before but was new and they didn't like how it looked. So they looked at it for awhile. Then the doctor came in and said it didn't look good. He said it was small, and that I came in at the perfect time and it was a miracle that they could even find it. He praised the tech for her angle and that they saw it. But they needed to take a biopsy- right then.
So I stayed laying on the ultra sound table and 5 minutes later they did the biopsy. It hurt, but just a little. Soon I was told I could go home, to take it easy and that they would call me on Wednesday. My problem was their faces. Everyone in the mammogram office had a look on their face of "that poor girl has cancer". Some even were hugging me and telling me they were so sorry. I knew and my husband knew that they had indeed found cancer.
