I noticed a move-able lump on my right side about a month ago. I figured it was maybe just scar tissue but I wasn't sure. [You never go back to thinking the way you did before you were diagnosed] So we had Dr. Panwalker check it today. After he felt it, he sent orders over for us to get an Ultrasound done. Oh great! Lucky day! I never really get worked up about things anymore because the fact is... if it's something kucky or scary, at this point there really isn't anything you can do about it. There's no reason to freak out until you figure out what you're dealing with. Then you can freak! LOL
Brett met me after Herceptin to go to the appointment with me. My original Nurse Lisa did my Ultrasound again. It was fun to see her! We teased with her that she is going to get sick of us at some point. Then it was even funn-ier because she told us she had seen us at our Church. Whhhhat?? It turns out that her son played his guitar at our Ward Christmas party and she saw us. I told her she should have some and said hi. What are the chances? Hope we didn't do some weird things while she watched us. LOL
Anyways- back to the Ultrasound. She got me all dressed up in my Sanford robe (it looks like I'm attending some fancy spa. I wish!), gel-ed me up and took some pictures. Then she had another nurse come check it. She gel-ed me up again and took some more pictures. Then they both went to go show the stuff to the Radiologist. It was only a short bit before they came back and let us go. It turns out that it's just a swollen lymph node. Nothing to freak about. YEAH! I asked how long I should plan on having IT. She said it should go away but they don't know when. MY body is supposedly trying to get rid of the crap in my body and a swollen lymph node just comes with the territory. That's my life, I guess. But thank heavens it was just an extra hour at the hospital and nothing serious! Now can someone take me to a "real" spa? LOL
As of April 2, 2012, this blog became the place for documenting our New Adventure called Breast Cancer. Basically it's all about our Cancer ParTay.
As of Oct 2013- our 18 month Survivor mark- the ParTay's pretty much over. Treatments are done, my hair is back and I am healthy & cancer-free!
As of today- I want you to know that the trick to living a happy, healthy and wonderful life in the future is to remember where we've been, what we've learned and how much we've been blessed! That's exactly what I hope you find here.
