Biopsy Postponed

Well, this little mass -- or whatever it is -- is so small they couldn't even find it on ultrasound today. So, I have to go back next week for an MRI-guided biopsy. Which doesn't sound like a super fun time (It was noted they could give me valium if I needed it...), but I'm thankful to have a couple more days to recover from chemo without the added pain, etc. I had a tough day/night yesterday and am feeling a little better today I think. So, next Wednesday morning it is. 

I reached out to a couple of friends who have had mastectomies this week (it really sucks that I have more than a couple of friends who have had mastectomies) and am starting to gather the items I think I'll need during recovery. A wedge pillow, robe/apron with pockets, various articles of clothing. I haven't spent too much time thinking about it, but now that it's October, it's happening "next month" and it's time to prepare. Trying to get creative so I don't have to break the bank for things I'll only need for a few weeks. It sounds like I'll be in rough shape for 2-3 weeks, really recovering for about 8 weeks and uncomfortable and possibly sleeping sitting up for even longer than that. Almost sounds like it would be worth it to rent a hospital bed! But probably not. Back to the not breaking the bank thing... 

Two more weeks until my last chemo. I'm counting down the days. I have a couple of friends who are wrapping up chemo this week or next and will be DONE with treatment and I'm ecstatic for them. When I join your ranks next year, we will celebrate, friends.
