...and I got ‘em!
I went to my surgeon’s office today for a followup to my recent lumpectomy and I have no cancer, just good ole rubbery, normal, boring, common bumpy fibrocystic tissue!
I was about 95 percent sure I was fine, but that annoying doubtful worrisome 5 percent was making me nuts.
I’ll go back in June for a six-month followup and mammogram, but I believe my days of complicated mammogram films and general angst over my boobs is over. This started a year ago when I first felt that new pea-size lump.
My mother-in-law starts radiation next week so please continue to send positive thoughts and prayers her way.
Thanks ya’ll. No more booby talk from me. We’re still potty training Miss A and she’s on a strike right now, though, so the poop talk will continue…only the best on my blog.
Also the nurse practitioner told me it looked like I had no volume loss and we know what that means. Wonderbras would be a bonus, but not a necessity, in my Christmas stocking. I’m so glad I have good booby genes.
Hurray!

Thanks ya’ll!
They took out a large sample (44 grams and 6×4x3.5 cm) so they were very thorough! I shouldn’t have any more “boob trouble” as they have been practically turned inside out.
Just doing a little nighttime leisurely reading here of my pathology report.
Yay for your boobs!
Jackson’s on strike too…I feel your poop angst, totally…

Two blogs I read, http://www.friglet.com and http://www.islandlife808.com, use the Commenluv plugin (for Wordpress) and I always wanted to try it out. I really like it, especially since I don’t have my traditional blogroll up any more. It gives a nice extra shout out to commentors!
Any way, I’m totally copying them.

It’s good to hear good breast news these days (not just from you—from so many, it’s “watch and wait” or outright BAD news). What an awesome Christmas present!
Bridgett’s last blog post..Welcome, Winter
Hurray! I also have been sweating out the boob situation—Mammogram was 2 weeks ago and have had cysts removed in the past—- When the rad. tech came back for extra shots I started to sweat. Then no word and no one bothered to read them for 14 days! Then I was in full scale panic—Of course thinking the worst—- So good news prevails today! Now you can fully focus on blessings and christmas! Wishing you continued health and happiness. Love your blog!
Congrats!
Glad to hear you got them

I have had boobie issues in my family as well. When I “Reclaimed” mine the found fibrous tissue that I need to watch, due to the history.

FANTASTIC! The cancer scare is awful. How grand for you that is was just a scare. My wife is due for her 1 year post op exam after they found cervical cancer in just a few weeks. We’re both nervous, but very hopeful.

[...] I’m very excited to announce I’ve been asked to work with Lee Jeans this year as a Lee Jeans “Fit Ambassador” blogger.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know that my mother-in-law is a breast cancer survivor and that I underwent a lumpectomy in the fall of 2007 after a series of tests (and thankfully it was nothing but good ole lumpy, bumpy fibrocystic tissue.)
