Biopsies

The biopsies were rougher on me than I'd thought they'd be. They were
sterotactic biopsies, and I'd never had one of those done before. She
got it done very quickly, and I think that some of the other women
that had been in the patient waiting area were a bit miffed that I was
getting called ahead of them. When I got back from getting the
initial ultrasound one of them who I paid to get called so fast. I
only shrugged and said that it moved faster if they thought you might
have cancer. I don't really think that's true, but who's going to
complain about not having cancer? Anyway, the experience left me
queasy and lightheaded for a long while afterward. The pain was more
than I remembered from the past needle biopsies, and I have some
bruises that are going to take some time to heal. All in all, this is
something that should be avoided if possible. I'm hoping to get the
pathology report back on Tuesday. Then we will atleast know where to
go from here.
