A Bit of a Scare

I went to the doctor a while back because of a damned cough I can't shake. She sent me for a CTscan.

The CTscan showed "something" so I went for a PTscan.

Turns out I have a pea-sized 'lump' inside my breast. I had a biopsy taken last week and I have a HUGE bruise there. I went for a mammogram today and a sonogram. Fortunately, neither hurt the bruised area. I learned my last mammo was 11 years ago. I vow to do better from now on.

No word yet on if the lump is cancer. The oncologist is 99% sure it is. Whatever, at least it was caught early on. He says surgery is easy, so I'm not terribly worried about it.

The cough, I suppose, is due to allergies. I have some medicines for it.

What it really is, is a blessing in disguise. Without it, I wouldn't have gone to the doctor and we wouldn't know about whatever is going on in me.
