Answered prayers and false alarms

Well, it looks like I won't be trading in the old girls for anything "bigger and better."
A new doctor and a few more pix and it turns out the boobs are alright. When I called
to make the follow up to re-scan and ultrasound "lefty," they told me the next appt.
for that was Jan 2nd. I said, "you've gotta be kidding if you think I'm sitting on this
for that long." Welcome to NJ, the land of "too many freekin people." I called a few more
places and initially was squeezed in for Friday(no pun intended) and the lady called me right back and said,
"can you make it for noon today?" Of course I jumped at the chance to end this nightmare.
The doctor said that he didn't think my scans were any reason for concern in the first place.
Can you believe that? They re-scanned with the mammo but cancelled the sonagram and
said I definitely did not need and MRI. Someone was being a little too proactive due to a
sister's DCIS of a few years ago. Of course I'm happy but also a little ticked that we went through this at all.
I feel so bad that I took my family along for my mental breakdown but I am not real good
at keeping things to myself. I need to purge it outta me. I have spoken to several people on the myeloma listserv that have the situation
of the man having MM and the woman having breast cancer. One couple had both diagnosis
given on the same day. I knew that I could have just as easily been one of them. I am more
than a little irritated with my doctor and he has just been fired. He never called me even
after I left a message to do so and if he had ever bothered to pick up the phone, he probably
would have been able to give me a better idea of what the real deal was and save me a whole
lot of heartache and stress. Time to find a practice where I won't be just a number and they
don't give test results the way I received these. Back to the old "normal." I also got a call
back from the woman who said she wanted the apt. and she is taking it after all so several
good things going on to turn the tide of things around here. I am more than a little grateful
to have this turn out OK. I have had several times in my life when I had close calls like this
with very bad possible diagnosis and I was not sure if this was when I was not gonna dodge
it. Tomorrow's another day. Just soldiering on through here.
