The Biopsy

On October 11th Richie and I went to the breast surgeons office Dr. Hamad. She asked all the questions on my family history told me I drew the short stick on the genetic gene pool and we laughed. Then got down to business first she did a regular exam, then used the ultrasound machine to take more measurements finally it was time to start the biopsy. When she first put the needle in to take the sample the needle snapped back. I saw Richie's face because he was watching on the ultrasound. Great I thought this stupid thing is so hard even the doctor can't get a sample. On the second try she got a good piece though. After this was done and I was all taped up she gave us some news to digest. She didn't like the size or shape of the tumor when she was taking measurements and then once the needle was rejected she really didn't like it. She wanted us to be prepared for a cancer diagnosis. My test results won't be back for a week because of the weekend. So next Thursday the 18th I get my results. I am preparing for the worst and hoping for good news.
