Here it is December again one year since my diagnosis. I had
a pet scan scheduled the first week of the month. I had a follow up with my oncologist
the week after. My doctor showed me the results of the scan on his computer. Everything
was fine except for one spot that was highlighted on my chest above the left
breast. This was something I did not
want to hear. He told me I would need to have this spot biopsied. There was a
chance it could be a recurrence of the breast cancer. He told me the girls in
the front would make an appointment for me to have the biopsy done at Kent
General. The nurse at the front desk was on the phone trying to schedule my
appointment for a MRI guided biopsy. She was having trouble getting the
appointment because my doctor wanted it as soon as possible and because it was
for an MRI guided biopsy. The person on the other end had originally scheduled
it for an ultra sound guided biopsy. The nurse had to specify it was for an MRI
guided biopsy. The hospital had to make sure a surgeon would be available to do
it. I told her I could have it done here at the Milford Hospital. She told me
the doctor doesn’t fool with the staff at the Milford Hospital and prefers the
biopsy to be done at Kent General. I said, “He won’t be fooling with them I
will or they would be fooling with me anyway.” This meant I had to travel a half an hour
instead of just 10 minutes to the Milford hospital. After all the confusion I finally had an appointment
for the following Monday three days from now. I had to be there at 7:45 in the
morning.
