About that Lump, Revisited

Posted by sarahafterdiagnosis on February 28, 2005

I had an ultrasound last week to check out the lump in Lefty. The OB called about the report the next day, but I didn’t get the message until after his office closed for the weekend, so we didn’t get to talk about it until this morning.

OB said it’s not a cyst. It’s a solid mass with irregular edges. During the ultrasound, I noticed what looked like another “cyst” when the tech was checking out my armpit; OB says the armpit dealie is a lymph node, but it is not necessarily Bad News that it was visible on the u/s…that it could just be an infection.

I’m seeing the surgeon (same guy who did the lumpectomy in 8/02) on Wednesday afternoon* to do a consult on the biopsy the OB is recommending.

*The supa-quick appointment is because they cannot schedule the biopsy until after the consult, and Tom goes on his long business trip in two weeks, so I want him here when the biopsy is done, y’know? Plus it’ll be easier to find someone to take care of just the babies the day of the biopsy and have Tom take me to the biopsy, vs. finding someone to take me to the biopsy *and* watch the babies.
