blaaahhhh
So I recently went to the doctor for a check-up... did the whole breast examination and my doctor find a lump... She told me she thought it was fibrocystic and due to all the caffiene I drink, but wanted me to get an ultrasound done to be sure...
So a week later I go to the Radiology clinic at the UofM Hospital (which so happens to be called the Cancer Center >.<) and get my breast ultrasound done. The nurse at the initial checkup says the lil lump felt like to her, to be the size of a pea and that it is most likely fibrocystic. Well after 15mins of waiting I get to go into the ultrasound room and low and behold my doctor whom I was hoping was female, is in fact a male doctor who looked to be about 27-29 years old... awkward... and on top of that he was teaching a medical student that day.... so I had 3 strangers staring at my breasts in one room ;-;
Anyhooey... my left breast he said was fine and had nothing of concern in it... but my right breast, he took a long time scanning ;-; I was staring at the monitor trying to figure out what he was looking at, but I just couldn't tell until he stopped the image and clicked to measure this HUGE black mass ;-; After a lil bit ANOTHER doctor enters the room and takes over... she tells me I have 2 options: 1) get a core biopsy done and have a sample removed to be tested to make sure it's not cancerous... or 2) have the whole thing removed.
Well of course I choose option one... but I read the lil paper the doctor gave me about the procedure which btw is TOMORROW... and I'm nervous as hell ;-; Like I have no idea whats going to be done but the nurse told me I can't exercise/lift heavy objects after the procedure and that I will need to ice it as well.
Like is a core biopsy really gonna cause me to not be able to do many things? Like my boss had me scheduled to work the next morning... and I'm scared I might be like too sore to lift trays and whatnot. Like for a whole week I have been dreading tomorrow and now that its in less than 9 hours... I'm like starting to panic T-T and whats worse is my own mother won't be able to be with me when I go under the knife ;-;
Ahhhh... this just sucks
