WORTH IT$17,000
*Sigh*
Ultrasound revealed what appears to be a benign tumor called a fibroadenoma. I will have to have a biopsy to be certain, which will likely delay my surgery. I am just so extremely bummed right now, that I cannot even express it. I'm tearing up here in the hospital waiting room. And Dr. Horndeski is in surgery right now, so I can't even confer with his assisstant about it. I am just assuming the biopsy is the way to go because Johnsome went throu the same thing recently and she did the biopsy. So. That's where I am.

Sitting under the dryer at the hairdresser and typing on my verdammt iPad so forgive my typos.
It's been extremely busy day. At 7:00 a.m. I had my follow-up fitness assessment. My body fat is about the same, but I've added nearly 2 pounds of lean muscle mass. I gained some fat too, possibly, but since it's all within margin-of-error, it's hard to know. Went from 16.3 to 16.9%, but the test is only accurate to within 4% or so, so yeah. I don't need to worry about my weight more than I already do, is the upshot.
BUT, the good news! Went from 26 (knee) push ups to 40! Went from 46 crunches in one minute to 69! And increased flexibility by 1 inch (sit-and-reach). In two months! I am stoked! On their charts, that puts me at 99th percentile in all but flexibility. Granted, it's non-athletes, but still. Me? Happy. My sub-max oxygen test hasn't improved but it was already 99th percentile.
After I leave here, I have to return to the hospital for another blood test. I haven't even had time to eat breakfast :(. Plus my stomach is upset from nerves over...well, everything!
Okay, gotta go! Later....

I just went through something very similar. My screening/baseline mammogram was abnormal. As were follow up mammogram, and ultrasound revealed a mass. I had to have a biopsy and thereforeI had to rechedule my surgery. Most of these abnormailites/masses in women our age are fibroadenomas. And that exactly what mine was.
Hope you get your positive results soon!

Ugh! I do NOT want to reschedule! And my gynecologist just checked me for lumps six months ago and found nothing, so it just feels like hoop-jumping.

Blah blah abnormal mammogram blah ultrasound...
Blah blah abnormal mammogram blah ultrasound Thursday blah. I just hope I can still do this surgery next week. I know the ultrasound usually means nothing, but I don't like the timing. I had to move my dentist appointment to the afternoon (filling cavities) to fit in this extra test I don't have time for. Please wish me luck. I really want this breast lift!

8 days....now I can be excited for you:-). When we are both healed we can "train" together. Your strong legs will be your best friends next week, btw

I answered this comment, and it disappeared! Herm. Anyway, super exciting! We can be spirit sisters at the gym, in our Lulu Lemon and compression garments ;). Althou I've no idea if you work out at a gym at all, or just do your squats at a home gym. Huh :D. In any case, exciting! My legs aren't that strong yet, though, so I hope they're strong enough for this.

7 days ----I am convinced it's still Monday. Always at the gym- I'm going to write a novel about "the gym". Greatest people watching place in the world. I

Did it cut you off mid-sentence? Or was that just a hit-the-return-key malfunction? I love a good gym, too--although, I have to admit that I've not spent much time at a gym I didn't start loving. Still, when I first started working out this time after the babies (just a little over 6 months ago, now,) it was at a retirement community mostly, so there were not so many people doing interesting workouts. Some, though. That said, there was definitely no squat rack there!

What a great attitude to have! I've got 13 days to go. I haven't heard the 24 liquid diet prior to surgery, but I was thinking that if I ate the day before, it was going to be light!
October 30, 2012
Lol! Blah! I actually had the exact same thing happened to me! Three days before my surgery I went back in for a breast ultrasound. They diagnosed me right then and it all came out normal. It was just an image of overlapping tissue that they thought might be a mass. They also ended up doublechecking the calcifications they had found. Those were caused from having mastitis after breast-feeding five kids so I bet you five bucks that it all comes back out normal for you too. :-) Hang in there, you're going to be able to get this all done! Hey have to cover their butts and it really is better to be safe than sorry :-) hugs!
October 30, 2012
Ahhh, I've had mastitis at least 15 times during my nursing stint! Maybe that's the problem. Thank you, 5WB! I'm back to singing! :D

I am not laughing because you had a abnormal reading but I am laughing at what you posted. BLAH! BLAH! LOL! Good luck love I know how bad you want this procedure so I have my fingers crossed for you!
