Next round of testing in process

Every time I get use to something it changes...grrr

I started restaging this week. Tuesday I went for blood work and my first ever Mammogram. It was not what I expected.

Darryl is the best tech at getting my blood without making me a pin cushion!! Usually they call him in after several tries but not this time:) It only took him 3 minutes to prep my arm and to get the needle in. I was so grateful. Its not that I hate needles or anything--its kind of hard to when you have been as sick as I have. I just hate having all the track marks and bruising on my arms and hands for days and days afterwords.

Beth was the radiologist that worked with me to do my Mammogram. It freaked her out a little at first because I was so young. I do not feel that I am young at all anymore but by standards I am. It is a scary thing. She was very informative about the whole process and what it was like her first time. She put me at ease. The test usually only takes 10 minutes totally including undressing and dressing. She spent well over 30 minutes with me backing up her appointments behind me. I was early for my appointment so it was not as bad as it could have been if I had been on time. My official appointment was 11am I walked out of her lab at 11:10....so I actually was on time finishing up, lol. The person whose appointment was at 10:30 and was over 10 minutes late well I can't say much for her. If she had been on time she would have had to wait so long and the nice grandma that had the 10:45 appointment that was on time and not 5 minutes earlier--my bad:) I honestly am not sorry. I have always worried about others and how I was effecting them...this is one time I am glad that someone cared enough to take the extra time for me. I was very nervous and needed someone to talk me through it all. I needed someone to ensure me it was going to be ok one way or another. I needed that extra time to not be scared about what was seen in the preliminary pics.

Anyway I will update you when I get the results back. I go Tuesday to see Dr. E:) I am always nervous about seeing him. I love him to pieces. With out him I would have died from the cancer no doubt....
