*Sigh* Ultrasound revealed what appears to be...
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...
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....
Blah blah abnormal mammogram blah ultrasound...
Provider Review
I found out about Dr. Horndeski through RealSelf, in the Ask A Doctor forum. I spent a lot of time looking up information and finding pretty-much only a few raving fans, self-promotion, and other doctors pooh-poohing any new techniques. Since my case is rather dire, breast-wise, I was getting only luke-warm projections for my results from others. Dr. Horndeski's method might be able to get better results. As soon as I spoke to him, I knew I wanted him to perform the procedure (he had me at 'maintain nipple sensation'). Anyway, I hope my result is great and that I can be an advertisement for him in the future!
