The surgeon called me today and they are going to do an ultra sound guided biopsy on the original tumor, this Monday.    Then they might take out the other spindle cell tumor after that to send it off to the lab...

I feel like walking into the hospital topless and saying "oh don't mind me, I'm just off to the Mammography department!"  

I'm not really going to do that, I don't have anything that great to show off, I'm just trying to find some sick humor in all of this craziness! :)

How are you doing???

I did know that about the anesthesia, I'm just stubborn and was getting "cabin fever."  I'm use to being outside all day with my job and always moving...I don't really have any inside hobbies and reading wasn't working....It's really crazy how that anesthesia affects your body!!! So wild....and interesting too....

LOL  Lately when I walk into the hospital I feel like stripping down at the door!  And just throwing my clothes to the side, like this is normal and everyone does this...Oh don't mind me off to mammography and then lumpectomy...LOL     Sounds sick ( and nothing I would ever do) but it's something that goes through my head to relieve the anxiety and put a smile on my face.....What is so funny about this is I'm very modest so I could never just do that!! LOL

Have a great Day!

I was wondering if you did go to the hosp. topless.. LOL
Anyway glad you are done with the lumpectomy and I'm amazed that you didn't know it was best to take it easy for a few days post=op. Those drugs given during anesthesia stay with you for awhile. Hang in there; the waiting is never easy.  Regards ....

Hello,

   I Just had a lumpectomy a week ago..I had a spindle cell tumor, well 3 of them and they took two so I don't know what happened to the others.....I'll find out on Friday when I go for the results....It has amazed me what surgery can do to the body...the day before surgery I ran a 1/2 marathon finished in 2hours and 17 minutes...the day went into surgery and  3 days later I tried to walk around our block...about 1/2 way I had to stop and sit down, I barely made it back home..Amazing!!  I had no idea!  

This waiting game is so difficult....but I'm trying to stay positive..I'm a very active person and since my body is limiting me to my activity right now, it's difficult to stay "busy."  I believe all things happen for a reason and this is something that is showing me that I have patience, and reminding me how much my family loves me.  I've allowed this experience to make my marriage stronger....I've also found out how supportive my true friends really are!  If I didn't have this experience I wouldn't have been touched so deeply.  Most of all it has reminded me where God is in my life....I feel him all around me, more than I did before.

I'm praying for all of you out there that are going through what I am, or have just received results that you have a malignant tumor!!    You are in my daily prayers.

Take care, all you women out there fighting the "good fight."
