Bummer!!!!

So, Dr. Popovitch called late yesterday afternoon to check in on me. He is the Radiologist who performed the biopsy the day before. The formal written report is not yet complete, but he also had the news that the area they biopsied is cancer. BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG TIME. :-(

So, I'm not sure if that means a mastectomy is in order, as I need to hear from my surgeon, Dr. elboim, to see what he thinks. Dr. Elboim had hoped it was not cancer, since this is the area furthest away from the other areas already biopsied when I was first diagnosed. This area is deeper and was not visible via the ultrasound, but was via MRI. That is why they chose an MRI for this biopsy.

The scary part is that the word cancer seems to be getting easier to say!

I may not hear back from Dr. Elboim until Monday. Again... Another weekend of confusion. And just when I thought I had this all figured out.

Thanks, everyone, for keeping me in your thoughts. I do not know how I would get through all this without you all!
