Its just a BREAST

MAMMOGRAM READING

My Ob read and explained the reading and nothing got into my mind amidst the frustration of waiting and being told "You need a biopsy" as she go on explaining how the process are.  She recomended a cancer surgeon, gave me a card of the doctor and told me the surgeon will explain everything when I go see him ASAP.

I was trying to be calm as I bid good bye to her she says " Dont worry, ITS JUST A BREAST"

Damn! am I gonna lose it?...

It was saturday after lunch when we went to see my ob for the reading.  My husband was outside waiting.  I told him we need to see a surgeon to schedule for my biopsy.  He held me close to him and kiss me on my cheek.  I really wanted to cry, thinking I'd go on a biopsy even when its a minor thing, still you'll get an incision right there on your breast.  The thought of a needle already scares me. 

We called my husband's aunt who is also a general practitioner, she advice us to go for it too. My birad category was 4C, meaning suspicious abnormalities is seen and needs biopsy. If they needed to remove it then go for it.  Actually my mind was already set on that.  My sister gave me a clearer view on what might happen in case we get to the point of totally removing my breast.  I just have to ready myself.  Women around the world who has it are still up and goin and still spend years living and loving life.  To quote my OB, "Its just a breast"
