Tests tests and more tests

Now that I am feeling better we are in catch up mode. 

I was meant to be on three monthly tests.  Because I got so sick in November and December we missed all of them.

So on Saturday I had blood tests.

Today I have a chest x-ray to work out what is happening with my ribs and why I have a lump on the bone.

Then I am off to Mackay to have a bone densimetry test.

Next on the agenda is a trip to Brisbane to do a mammogram and ultra sound on the remaining breast.

Then a trip to the surgeon.

The plastic surgeon doesn't want to see me again until 6 months after the removal of the expander.....AND when I can produce blood tests that show that my immune system will cope with an operation.

I've got to be honest and admit that out of all of these tests, the one that will identify why I have sore ribs is the most important...........this has been going on for months and when it started I didn't have a lump....now I do.......
