Update

As some of you may remember (or not) lol, I was concerned about the follow up care that I was not getting. Well, I had an appointment with my PCP this morning, and after a very long talk with her, I feel much better. And I have more info about my diagnosis. Turns out I had a borderline malignant phyllodes tumor that was 7 cm. 20 lymph nodes were tested and all were clear. I was told that 3 pathologists looked at both pathlogy reports and came to the same conclusion. It was still kind of "ify". But, based on the fact that there was no lymph node involvement, I did not have to have chemo or radiation. Ya know, if my general surgeon had just explained this to me at the time, then I would not have doubts now. But, because I do, she scheduled me for a chest ct scan, as well as a brain mri. I had a brain tumor in 2000, that I underwent a craniotomy for to remove it. So, its time to have that checked out again. Both of those are scheduled for Tuesday. She also suggested that I start on medication for stress, anxiety and depression. But, I don't like taking any kind of meds like that, so I told her I didn't want to go that route at this point. She gave me some points on some relaxation techs that may help. I have also gained quite a bit of weight over the last couple of months. I told her I eat when stressed. Oh, well.....will work on it.
