Tests

Hi,
I will try to think about other things,it's very difficult. I am feeling very unwell-- and keep having to wait long periods of time to see doctors. And still can't get answers as to why I feel so ill. Like the lump in one of my parotid gland s that I developed in May-- it's still hard and swollen and very visible. However it appears to be slow growing in size.the rash, not responding to medica., And more gastrointestinal issues. Maybe I don't have breast cancer( tho I have discharge for about 4 yrs.) But something is very wrong-- has been for quite awhile. Mother died of colon cancer at 61 yrs old. I will be 59 in the summer. I needed to vent---i will come back-- and one day-- have the correct diagnosis. If you don't hear from me one day-- it's because I am no longer around. Thanks.

However, one breast, one duct-- discharge. "Puffiness" around aerola. It has changed colors very recently-- skin is same color as rest of breast-- can't tell areola color from rest of breast-- plus many other changes. The nipple is splitting. Orange peel look/Pitt spreading-- all this seemed to start out slow-- now it is speeding up. May I say DAMNIT-- my frustrations -- ..and where puffiness/indent are on aerola-- there is a corresponding line of indents running linear along side of this breast. I would stand on my freaking head-- to get this validated-- but alas-- still not taken Seriously---...no diagnosis-- but hell-- I have the symptoms-- they keep ramping up... Don't believe it -- go to my Facebook page( picture of a garden spot) junecarroll( I do have a couple of Facebook pages) cause I had to create other accounts-- my technilog. Challenge. However--- there are photos of the manifest. Of what I am talking about. Radiologists need to look at what's going on on the outside--DAMNIT. I am sick and I AM FREAKIN TIRED of NOT getting the right answers....

Btw,

I just got my report in the mail from the women's diagnostic center. It read as follows: "As we discussed at your recent visit, your MA Digital Mammo Diag Bilateral examination showed an abnormality that requires a biopsy. The only way that we can be sure that the abnormality is benign(not cancer) is to sample or surgically remove the area of concern and send these samples for pathological analysis. Once this has occurred you will be seen In our surgeons' office concerning the results and any follow up tests or appmts. That may be required." "A report of your results was sent to S, MD, R. He/She has been informed about the need for this biopsy."

" It will be necessary for you to contact your ordering physician to schedule this exam and obtain an order. Please bring the order with you on the day of your exam or have phys. Office fax...."

"Mammography is the most commonly used method for early detection but not all cancers are found through mammography. A breast finding of concern should never be ignored despite a normal mammogram. If you notice any new changes in your breast(s) you should bring them to your health care provider attent. Immediately."

" Thank you for allowing us to help in meeting your health care needs"

Hello,

Looked at patient portal-- primary wants to see me first and discuss mammogram and Ultrasound results-- was supposed to see her Dec 31-- but will see her Dec 3. Also saw on portal I'm scheduled out to get an Ultrasound of nodule in neck. Colonoscopy still scheduled out too(both up to one year out).

Will update from time to time here.

Thanks

Hi,

My Baby boy who was gone overseas for over a year, and is now part of law enforcement here in the USA-- stopped by recently. I know we are not promised tomorrow and can't get back yesterday. But my hope is in GOD's grace--no matter what this life brings. I love my family very much, I keep them in my prayers. I am one of the least of these--GOD's children. I have internal stuggles daily. My hope and my everything is in GOD alone. I am scheduled for an appointment regarding my mammogram and ultrasound Dec 3. Initially according to a letter I received a couple weeks ago it was stated that I needed a biopsy. Since then the troublesome breast is still changing-- 🙄 it's more vascular, pitted and painful. I am/will not freak--out-- especially because it is probably nothing.

Thanks.

Hi Beesie,

Hope it's benign.😊.

Thanks,

Tuc.

Hi again 😁,

I am scheduled for an MRI on Dec 23rd.

Then possibly biopsy.And everything should be cleared up regarding breasts. And yes-- I think-- it's probably just benign- I have learned Alot on Breast cancer.Org.

After this it's on to a colonoscopy and an ultrasound of nodule on neck. And a few other very sensitive issues😁.And we will get to the Crux of why I feel so ill all the time.

Thanks,😊

Will update later.
