  • On Thursday I went for my yearly check-up. My doctor found a lump in my breast. Today I went for a diagnostic mammogram. They took two pictures of each breast, then told me to go back into the waiting room so the doctor could be sure they had a good picture before I left. Several minutes later, they called me back up to the desk. The doctor wanted some more pictures. This time they focused on the right side of my right breast, where the lump my doctor had found is. Used some sort of add on that magnified the area they wanted to focus on. Back again to the waiting room. Thank God Steve had come with me. This time they told me that I needed to be sent for an ultrasound of the breast. They could fit me in in two hours.


    Steve and I headed off to the nearest Tim Hortons. I had a bowl of yummy turkey soup and an apple fritter, washed down with an iced cappicino. If you have to kill time, it is a great place to be! When the hours had ticked by, off we were for the ultrasound. The technician took many pictures and that was that. Now we wait to hear from my doctor.


    I would appreciate any positive thoughts you'd be willing to keep.
