A little more info on the biopsy...

After I talked to Dr. B I got a call from Dr. Kerlakian's nurse. She was not as positive as Dr. B was about the results. She said the sample taken was very small and possibly inconclusive..bottom line is that he really thinks there is no cancer but still wants it to be removed. I told her I was fine with that so they are setting up a date at the hospital for the last week of the month. I HATE the idea of another surgery...I was hoping they could just do this in his office...give me a big shot of whiskey and some leather to bite on...Not an option...DAMN!

I put a call in to the PS just so she was aware that Dr. Kerlakian would be messing with her foob work. She called me back last night and we went over everything. She felt comfortable with him that he would not be messing anything up or he would have asked for her to be there....I see her the first week of February so I guess we will be adding the new scars to our list of things to fix someday....

I will just be glad to get this behind me...it's been scary but I do believe that it will be ok....the biopsy was the exact same procedure I had when I was first diagnosed...it was a much more difficult area to access and we got accurate results that time around...

Not much else going on with us. Bret and I went out shopping and to dinner last night. Jillian had her first basketball game for cheerleading today and then we went to the school to get her tap and ballet costumes for her upcoming recital. Tonight we went out with the Gahlberg's & Hulefelds to celebrate Steve's 44th B-day. After that we played Cranium...another good old game...Steve and I lost...I do have to say that I do think I am pretty good on the sculpting challenges...it was a fun night out with friends!!

Hi Jan, Well, a little more info - but encouraged by your attitude! We know how important that is to recovery! I'm glad you're pretty at ease about it - because if you weren't it would be a LONG TIME for the end of the month to get here. Also, it's encouraging that there really isn't a big rush - let's get this out tomorrow type of deal. I have alot of faith in your doctors and they truly seem to have your best interests at heart - so no messing around. They'll just take care of business - so you can move on down the road. Yet another bump - but by no means a road block. THANK GOD...... Hang in there and keep your positive outlook! Look how far it's already gotten you! Love you! Glad you had a fun weekend. You are blessed with many friends who love you! Sue
