BREAST CANCER OR HEART FAILURE OR BOTH... OR WHAT?

edited December 2018 in Not Diagnosed But Worried

For some reason this year I got hit up pretty bad health wise. First October 8, 2018 I go in for my annual GYN like I do every October. Also to note, I have breast implants since 2013, so as a measure I always would get breast ultrasounds to be sure about my yearly breast health. So let's back up, in August I moved to a new state for a new job so I had brand new doctor. This particular doctor told me that I could not have anymore ultrasound and that I needed to start getting mammograms. I knew that wasn't right because I am only 36 years old. And also because my doctor before and my plastic surgeon always told me not to forget toget my ultrasounds. He was the doctor so even though I felt uneasy I went along with it.

On October 18 I got my results that my pap smear and my results from my mammogram. I had tested positive for ASCUS, but tested negative for HPV.

(Ascus is associated with Cancer cells)

He told me he wanted to retest the following year to make sure it doesn't turn to cervical cancer. But that my mammogram had come back with high density in the left breast and that I needed a ULTRASOUND! (Duhhhh)

So I get my order for the ultrasound and leave. Turns out they were all booked up and the earliest I can get it done is November 14th. (I called everywhere)

So later that week on October 29th, I'm in the house playing with my daughter and all of a sudden I feel jolted up to my feet, like my body is jerking, my heart is jerking inside of me for about 9 seconds this happens. I call the ambulance and my heart rate was 145 and my blood pressure was 202.

I subsequently go to the emergency four more times since then, with trouble breathing, high blood pressure, back pain and numbness in feet, legs and arms. Finally being instructed to see a Cardiologist immediately.

So finally on November 14th, I went in for my ultrasound, I got those results back on November 19th, they said I have two cyst and two solid masses, so I have four nodules in my left breast, two cyst and two masses. And now I'm going for my biopsy this Friday, December 14th. Hoping that the two masses are benign when the results come back.

And I have a new GYN now by the way, that's another thing that caused more time lost, I had to find new doctor and I had to convince him to reorder everything and order it right and he did, so I'm getting my biopsy on my left and the ultrasound I should've had on both on my right too Friday.

(Hopefully that right breast ultrasound is good so I don't have to go back again and get another biopsy and wait for an appointment and all that.)

And I did meet with a cardiologist this past Monday, and my echocardiogram is today, and my stress test is Thursday.

So to sum it up, I'm worried that I have breast cancer in my left breast and it may have spread to my heart or be causing a problem with my heart because it's on my left side, all the problems. Or as far as my heart, I may have heart failure or something else heart related in addition to this breast cancer scare.

I'm angry that the first new doctor took me off my regiment that I was on for years with my GYN health by sending me for that Mammogram in October because that caused me a tremendous waste of time. I could have been already knowing my status had I got my ultrasound like I was supposed to October 8th.

So if I do have cancer, two months have gone by untreated. Im afraid of that. And it's his fault. So pray for me ladies. I've got three kids, 14 , 11, and 1 1/2 yrs old.
I'm so scared!!!

I will update y'all as I learn more from my results. Please tell me anything in the comment section.

God bless all of you!!! 🌸

    I will keep you in my prayers. If things get too stressful try meditating on a positive thought, scripture or just something that has made you feel ok. I found some music on youtube to help at the same time. I never meditated before cancer, but this has helped me so much I do it when I wake up for a few minutes and then whenever I feel like I’m going to be swallowed with worry. Mostly with bible verses, but also positive thoughts. Hope this helps

    ******UPDATE********

    First of all, I got my echocardiogram and my stress test. My stress test was ok. But my echocardiogram revealed that some portions of my heart had inflammation. So I was sent to do labs for confirmatory testing that reveals Heart Disease & Heart Failure. Those results come back next week. I took the labs Friday.

    Second, thank God I protested so much in regards to my breast situation because turns out when I went in for my biopsy of my left breast and the ultrasound of the right breast, the right breast also had a mass of it’s own. Now keep in mind that I was originally denied the ultrasound altogether in place of a mammogram at 36 years old.

    The results of that mammogram had cleared the right breast as safe.

    So thank god I fought to restore my breast ultrasound regimen because this right breast mass would have never been discovered.

    So now I’m waiting for the results of the left breast biopsy, the results of the Heart Disease and Heart Failure labs and the recommendations for the newly discovered right breast mass.

    There’s a saying about throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks, or eventually will stick blah blah blah.......

    I’m really worried now, both breast now and the heart is inflamed..... am I really suppose to come away from all this completely unscathed?????

    I’ll uodate you all when I get new updates.
