I’ve got a small “thing” scheduled for tomorrow (as a friend of mine calls it) because of a finding on my mammogram from last week. It should be fine, according to the radiologist who spoke to me, what they call a low suspicion of malignancy. Intellectually I know that’s true, but in my heart and the pit of my stomach, I’m a little worried. But, truly, just a little. I’ve been through this before three years ago and that finding was benign.
So please don’t worry, I just wanted to let you know I will probably miss a few days of blogging, but after they wrap me with an elastic bandage to hold an ice pack on my right side and give me some pain meds I’ll be happy just reading your blogs!

Yeah, I know, they used 3D imagry at the end so I’m guessing they see something and don’t even know what it is. But true, it’s .5 centimeters so even if it is something to worry about, it’s pretty small! And if I’d waited another year or whatever, who knows. And I shouldn’t care, but I already have one scar from before on the same boob… 😦
