Checkup
Hello ladieees :):) Well this morning I had my checkup with my surgeon.I am just going into my 3 rd year since diagnosis,and I see my surgeon every 6 months and my oncologist the other times.I almost cancelled the visit,because I really felt that it was just a lot of money for a few minutes,and I feel really well.He chatted for a minute or two,then checked my scar line.Then he checked my lymph nodes on the side that I had my mastectomy.He said' there are several soft lymph nodes,that I would like to get an ultrasound on.How are you feeling generally?' At this point I could actually feel tears welling up! I swallowed hard and said,'I feel really healthy'.He said,let's just get the ultrasound,and if there is anything suspicious looking,they will do a biopsy on the spot.In this case,come back to me 2 or 3 days after and we will discuss the results.If there is nothing,they will tell you,and then I just want you to come back to me in 8 weeks.We will keep an eye on this.I am thinking "On what ?!?!?" . It's the same old story right? We will never really get totally away from the fact that we had BC.I feel sure it's nothing,but I have to wait until next Friday to find out.This really made me think about the importance of regular checkups though.I have become quite complacent lately with lots of things,like my diet,stress etc.In the early days I was so conscious of doing the right thing by ME,but things have slipped a bit.This brings me right back to where I was ,very quickly!! So if any of you ladies are having second thoughts about doctors visits,don't even consider not going.Hope everyone is doing ok:):) Cheers Robyn.xox
