January 18th I went back to Gonda 2 for the MBI test. The MBI test was somewhat similar to a mammogram but not to the same extent of discomfort. A few follow up mammograms followed this test. The test was done within an hour and I went about my day.
Later this day, Heather Carrico called me to see how I was doing and wanted to know what I knew. I told her that I really didn't know anything. She said that she had the results back from the ultrasound and MBI test and that they both came back with suspicious for malignancy and that a biopsy of the lump and subsequent lymph nodes was scheduled for the following day.
Initially I was taken aback with the words that I was hearing. Was I hearing her correctly? Was this moving in a direction that any women would fear? I was totally stunned. I think at that point I really quit listening although I knew that I had to tell my family. Not an easy thing to do. One thing that I do remember hearing is Heather saying that this is very treatable.
I called my husband at work to let him know what I had learned. Upon his return home and after an emotional breakdown with my husband, I had to tell Marie and Bill what was going on. Lets just say - difficult at best and alot of tears were shed this day. As the saying goes - your life can change in the blink of an eye. I wish I would never have blinked.
January 19th - Marie was so nice to offer a day at the spa for her and I. She scheduled us to one hour massages and pedicures....relaxing, to say the least! Thank you so much Marie - this is exactly what I needed at that point in my life! You are definately a gift from God!
