What a day!!! I waited till 10:30 to hear from my primary care doc. Then I had to get busy. They made an appointment and the earliest one is (hold your hat) Dec. 23rd!!! Well that is not acceptable. I live with 25 miles of Emory University Hospital and I made sure that I got an appointment for this Thursday at 7:45 am. Lots of stuff had to be jiggled and lots of calls to pull this off. Mostly I did the work.

I have a word of advice for women living in a small town with a hospital that does not have a breast and diagnostic center. Do not go there. Go to a place that does have a good center.

The test I am having done is not a routine biopsy (doesn't that just figure) it is called a stereostatic biopsy and has to be done by a radiologist. The will be removing the lesion and punching holes in surrounding tissues for samples too.

And I have strep throat from sleeping with my 4 and 8 yr old grandsons Friday night. I am totally exhausted and my pain level is way up there right now.
