I'm asked to go back in 6 months just to keep a watch over that Right Boob! So off I go in February 2010 have the mammogram and again the calcium is still sitting there but nothing to worry about... See you in 6 months.
So here I am 30th August waiting to have the mammogram and once again its done only this time I'm called back for a Bi-Lateral exam. All done off I go home. Then I'm called again and asked to go back in for an Ultra-Sound, but I'm still not panicking as I'm laying there watching her going over the same spot. All done and I'm told I will hear from the doctor with the results.
The local doctor's assistant calls and we make an appointment, I go in and the old crusty nurse takes my weight and blood pressure same old chit chat. Then walks in the Physicians assistance and goes on to tell me out of the blue that I have a 50/50 chance of making it and not to worry as her sister has had breast cancer and shes still here. I can hear her saying all this but I'm not really if you know what I mean. She then goes on to tell me that she recommends this other surgeon, who I've never heard of or know but she will save my life! As I sit there and ask why can't the other doctor who I have used before do it, oh no you don't want to trust them you need to use who I say. Well I did call that doctor from the car as I sat outside in a daze wondering what I had just heard. I did called and was told the doctor was on vacation and they wouldn't be able to slot me until a week later! So I called the Surgeon that I had used before. The nurses are always lovely and ask soon as I said what had happened she got me in a day later. Ill call this doctor Peter as hes lovely and it would be fair to use his real name in a blog. He explained everything to me and said that no one new it was 50/50 until he had operated and tested the tumor to see what it was.
Surgery booked for 4 days later!
