I had a needle biopsy today. Piece of cake but now my tata is slightly uncomfortable. About 4 years after my first lump removal, I started getting pain when I smooshed my boob into anything. Like if one of my cats jumped on it from the top of the couch if I was laying on the couch, or if I was accidently elbowed in the boob. I mentioned it to my doctor for years and she said it was probably scar tissue. Two mammos ago I mentioned it before my normal yearly mammo that it hurt pretty bad. Sop they changed my visit to a diagnostic. Mammo was fine but they also did an ultrasound. Ten minutes later I was told everything looked fine.
Well every year when I get my yearly girl exam my dr ( a new one) always checks my breasts and last year she hit it just right and about put me through the roof.
This time (Thursday) I told her I didn't want her touching it. LOL Well she did anyway and didn't like the pain I was in so she scheduled another diagnostic mammo and ultrasound.
This ultrasound showed a shadow.
So today I had the needle biopsy. I didn't have one with my first lump, I was just scheduled for surgery and had it removed. It was 2 inches by 1 inch in size.
So I didn't know what to expect today. They (and the brochure) actually made it sound worse than it was. Like I said, a piece of cake so you reading this, if you even need one, don't worry for nothing.
Now I have to have an ice pack (in my bra) 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. Bah. Just the extra bulk in my bra is making the 'spot' pressed on and hurt. Otherwise I don't feel anything.
When I had the surgery 10 years ago, it was nothing too. In fact, I didn't even need any pain pills, I just took the vicodin because it made me smile. ROFL I actually only took it for 2 days and tossed the rest. It made me itch anyway.
So I find out tomorrow. She said she thinks it's scar tissue. I think it is too but can't wait for the all clear.
Oh, in two days I get a biopsy on a 'thing' in my mouth.
Freaking falling apart here. Hitting 50 sucks. Enjoy your youth.
ENJOY YOUR YOUTH
