Friday May 20th

Up very early 5:30 am, we have to leave by 6:30 to get there by 7:30.

Same routine.

Ms. Peditto, This time the nurse is Joyce. Again very nice.

Stephanie was in Rochester NY the last 2 days and is flying in that AM comes right to hospital, to be there and again see more strange boobs.

More pictures in the mammogram machine ( we call it the vice grip). Dr.K, Dr. Wu & Joyce all holding on to the boobs trying to get the right angel and good pictures.

Into the ultra sound room I go again. This time they bring in Mom & Stephanie, and they get to stay so they can see the ultra sound.

But when told they can stay, Mom says can we stand up to see? Dr. K -No. Mom well can I at least go..... Me- Mom sit down!

Dr.K leaves tells us some more stuff, The nodes have cancer, the main lump-cancer. They are not sure about the small ones behind the main one but they need to be removed anyway. If your keeping count that's 6 that need to be removed.

Dr.Tsangaris ( he's Greek, i hope he's not going to use Windex to fix this) is going to be my Surgeon. He is the chief of Breast surgery. Yup he's the big Guy!

Dr.K is going to insert a clip into the breast where the main lump is. Kim is back in she shows us what the clip looks like, Its in the shape of a breast cancer ribbon. This is so they can find the lump in surgery.

Once that is done back to the vice grip, more pics to see the clip. Dr.K has a plan...he comes behind me lifts both my boobs up & places them flat on the machine while squeezing them together as Joyce clamps down the machine. OUCH! Hold your breath ( what other choice do I have?) That's it that's the one they are looking for. Finally all done.
Well for today.

Monday is meet the surgeon day & find out when another MRI will be and get more answers.
Until Monday May 23rd..........xoxo
