in Breast Cancer #1
I'm having a biopsy today at 1:00 on the "lump" above my clavicle....we already know from the scans that it is cancer....again. This is to just confirm the scans and find the type...My oncologist said he's 99% sure it will show triple negative bc which is what I had...by some small miracle he said if it would be HR positive, and they can change, that would be a much better case scenario....

Evidently this biopsy is a bigger deal than I thought...They called yesterday to give me my "instructions"...the nothing to eat or drink after 7:00 AM...that it would be an ultrasound guided biopsy and I would be in recovery for 3 hours! And to expect to be there a total of 6 hours.. I wasn't in recovery for my breast biopsy even two hours! I am surmising it must be the location and they have to make sure my throat doesn't swell....I'm going to quiz the he!! out of them when I get there! I developed a huge hematoma in my breast when that was biopsied 2 years ago....I'm trying not to get myself worked up....

So, here I sit...couldn't sleep, anxiety plus the hubby decided to "talk" in his sleep most of the night...grrrr well, mumble is more like it...plus I have tendinitis in my right elbow and couldn't get comfy....Wish I could say it was from playing tennis, but it's not...it's from constantly using my middle finger to type on my iPad....I promise it's not from using my middle finger for flipping people off...although I have given this cancer the finger!

Wish me luck and if you have an extra prayer, I could use it...
Hugs to all,
Nancy

    You got it, Nancy
    Prayers going out to you right now, Nancy! It's easy enough for me to say "don't get worked up" as you begin what certainly looks like Round Two. But I believe you're going to win this round too. You and your medical team have a good plan for attacking this tumor and your "give cancer the finger" attitude will make the difference!

    God Bless,
    Joe

    When you feel the fluttering around you in the pre op and in the recovery room, that's all of us there with you holding on to your hands, rubbing your forehead and surrounding you with love and support. My prayers are with you today and every day that everything goes well.

    I'm so sorry you are going through this again. I wish your biopsy could have been earlier in the day. I know it will be one of the longest days of your life but you can do it and we will be right there with you.

    HUGS!!!

    Nancy,
    I'm praying for you.
    Nancy,

    I'm praying for you. And I have to tell you what I have resorted to so I can sleep well. I go into another bedroom when I'm ready to go to sleep. My husband doesn't know the difference, and I discovered I needed the rest during the treatments. Of course, with the anxiety of what you're going through, it's no wonder you can't sleep. Please keep us posted.

    I'm praying all went well today with your biopsy. I'm sure many pink sisters were in the room with you :D I too had a large hematoma following breast biopsy. Come to find out the dr should have told me to stop taking my baby aspirin! With a bilateral mastectomy it was removed afterall. Sending you healing thoughts.
