Awareness. health update!

Since I cannot seem to sleep, I am going to do a update for those who actually care to read about what is going on in my life. Thank you. 

OK so, I had a lumpectomy last week. Before surgery I had a mammogram and ultrasound and a new lump popped up. So I had my wire procedure    and the radiologist found a new mystery lump that was not biopsied when I had my Biopsy. So they parked it with a wire along with 2 others. I later go into Surgery yada yada. Surgery is surgery all went well.

a few days later I go in to my Oncologist for a follow up and he comes in and says "I have some interesting news" He gives me my results as cool as a cucumber...and says everything looked good, one mass had cancer in it. But we believe we got it all.....uh, say what doc? CANCER? He tells me it was on the edge of the wall. My chest wall as I later learn from my sister in law who did research since I didn't bother to ask my dr questions because I was totally thrown off by the C word! SO he says my Plastic Surgeon should be calling me and us going over my options. Which include Mastectomy  breast reduction or Radiation. And since I had this "surprise" pop up, the insurance should most defiantly approve a reduction this time. (If you have no idea what i am talking about, read my previous posts) Ok, cool another chance at getting a reduction. BUT CANCER WAS IN MY BODY! SOME FORM SOME SORT OF AMOUNT OF CANCER WAS IN MY BODY! Do I feel assured that they removed it all? HELL NO. I am still scared. And today I learned that breast cancer runs in my family. ALSO, after speaking with my oncologist that day I said...all these mess is going on with my left breast, and NOTHING has been done to my right breast. SO he orders me to go get a mammogram and a ultrasound for the right. So I went and did all he said and there is a lump they want to analyze  so I am going to go get a MRI on tuesday. A should have had BOTH of my boobs MRId in the first place..but whatever. So I'm going to do that on tuesday and on wednesday I am going to chat with my Plastic Surgeon.

Wish me luck


PS....I am 27 years old....DONT LISTEN TO THOSE WHO SAY YOU ARE TO YOUNG TO GET IT...CAUSE I MIGHT HAVE.
