It's been a rough afternoon. My appointment was at 1pm and I got home at 5:30pm with light traffic.
The first problem was that they needed some special solution to put the biopsy samples in to test for lymphoma, and they didn't have any at the nuclear medicine place. I sat around in a stupid gown for an hour and a half before I got started.
WHAT???? Lymphoma?
They took six needle aspirations from 2 different locations on my right (untreated) side: one not far from the center of my chest, and the other under my armpit. They dug around for a full hour plus, no joking, under guidance of ultrasound.
She kept saying "It could just be inflammatory." I kept repeating, "You mean an inflammation, right? Not inflammatory breast cancer?" and she was like, "ummm, yah." Sigh. It could be metastases. It could be lymphoma. Or it could be "just an inflammation."
Biopsy results in 24 to 48 hours. In the meantime, I'm poked full of holes, and I have ice packs wedged into my little A-cup bra.
It's been a rough day. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Hi Kristina,
It's your cousin Rob.
I am so sorry about the stressful time you are having right now. I am praying that over the next few days God will give you a peace which passes all human understanding and that joy and celebration will follow shortly.
Tons of Love,
Rob and Cindy
