Mammogram and Ultrasound

Today I went for a mammogram and ultrasound on my left breast.    I don't like these tests ... they leave me an emotional wreck.    The test was originally booked for April 5th but Donna got her boyfriend Perry to pull some strings with the people he knows at EFW Radiology.   And before I knew it, I received a phone call and was in the office at 10:15 this morning.   That was fast.     The people there are incredibly nice and that was great.

The doctor came into the room and did some of the ultrasound scanning herself and said it looked like a cyst to her and nothing to worry about.    They are going to compare the scans with the ones I had done at the Women's Imaging Centre to see what if anything has changed and to see if there are any concerns.      

Tomorrow morning I have to book a follow-up appointment with my doctor to go over the results.    Even though I don't know what she's going to say, I already know I want to have the cyst drained or removed or something.   I'm so done with the pain ... and it is really sore and really big ... it has to go. 

So today was a little bit stressful, even though I know it shouldn't be.   I ended the day with a headache and with boobs feeling bruised and sore ... even the good one.    Oh well, at least I'm having it checked out.
