Biopsy day...

December 9, 2015

After a difficult night, I woke up got my daughter up and ready and took her to my mom(school strike week). I went off to work and went about my morning as normal as possible, or at least I tried.  I left the office at noon and headed for the hospital on my own...my husband insisted in leaving work to accompany me but I wanted to do this on my own.

I get to the hospital and register at the Breast Clinic, the lady asks me to undress from the wait
At up and to wait in the waiting room.  As I entered the waiting room, it was full of women and I wondered what was their story or journey.  Finally after a long wait they called my name, off to get my girls squished once again before the biopsy, a little painful but more uncomfortable.

So I get called into the ultrasound room where a very nice and sweet technician explained to me step by step what was going to be done.  I had already been through a biopsy in 2006 for a fibroadenoma in my right breast.  So, she does an ultrasound of my right breast and all seem good, she then moves on to the left breast, where the unwanted guest is residing.  The radiologists comes in, takes a look and explains the procedure, in my head I want yo tell him just hurry up and get this over with.

He begins my double checking the ultrasound and the. Shows me the needle that will freeze my lymph node, ouchhhh and then I felt nothing, he froze my breast and all was great.  He began by extracting 3 biopsies from my lymph node, I felt absolutely nothing.  Then, he moved to my breast, holy cow the first shot was so painful I yelled, the other 2 were not so bad.  And that was it....

Got out of the room and met with the Clinical nurse whom gave me an appointment on December 30 to go get my results...she took down some information and asked a few questions regarding medical history and that was it.

They send me back to the changing room, as I am in there I text my husband to let him know that I was done...he texts me back. "I am here". I got out of the changing room and he was standing there waiting for me, he drove like a madman as soon as he finished work to meet me at the hospital. He is amazing...

Now we wait for 3 weeks.........
