So I got a call from Dr. Grays office today. They called to give me results of a couple of tests. First of all they confirmed that the lymph nodes are indeed cancerous which I already knew anyway. Then they said that the other mass in my breast is most likely cancer which just means that I don't have the option of a lumpectomy. She also said that there are some legions on my sternum that are much bigger then they were a month ago so that is a concern. I didn't even know I had legions on my sternum. It just keeps getting better and better.
After that I headed to Mayo for my bone biopsy. That was not a fun experience. My last bone biopsy was no big deal but this was a whole different experience. The doctor decided he just wanted to do this by local sedation so everytime he moved the needle deeper it would hurt so then he would give me more local sedation. This went on and on. I tried very hard to be strong but I have to admit that the tears did escape once in a while. It took a very long time and the doctor said it was the hardest one he had ever done but he did say he got an awesome sample so woohoo for that. Anyway tomorrow is another day.
