Several years back I went thru something like that -- except it was a Stereotactic biopsy.<br /><br />I had a melt down in the radiology dept of the hospital because the clerk forgot to mail my original mamos to the other hospital. <br /><br />I think there is still some of my goop on the floor there from that day.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-75638900806176878512009-06-21T14:00:50.643-05:002009-06-21T14:00:50.643-05:00I'm glad you had good news.

But you must and you do. So glad yours was ok. And I'm totally with you on sharing your news with others. I have a relative who "hovers" and wants to "be there" for me. And it just makes me all the more anxious. Hence, I don't tell her anything. Now relax and enjoy. Hope you have a great week.Lindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288874614334266351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-59225240289775246842009-06-20T21:06:45.680-05:002009-06-20T21:06:45.680-05:00Yeah!!!

I too know what a toll the worrying can take on one. I had to laugh a lil at your carrying-on with the F bomb when you left the facility -- and the reason I was laughing is because I could just hear myself saying the same stuff and being so pissed off I couldn't stand it!! LOL<br /><br />My mom had to go for the biopsy last year, which turned out to be nothing. But according to her, the biopsy is very invasive, and painful, and leaves a nasty scar. She said no biggie re: the scar, since she has old lady boobs, lol. <br /><br />I am glad you are ok, and I'm sorry for all the horrible waiting you had to go thru. It is just a shame that the medical profession couldn't TRY to be a bit more compassionate - after all, they are as human as us, aren't they?!Girl Tornadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289862625817473671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-4580469769668225352009-06-20T12:45:03.746-05:002009-06-20T12:45:03.746-05:00Oh good heavens!

Whew what ...Awww, Connie I am so glad you are okay! Whew what a past hellous couple weeks. I understand you not wanting to share with everyone your health so not to worry others. I had a similiar scare last year and the waiting game to hear from the doctors was unbelievably retarded. I lost 5 pounds in a week from being so freaked out. I had myself dead and buried that week. Stupid huh? It just turned out to be some scar tissue from a previous surgery. Whew.<br />Why can't human medicine be more like veterinary medicine? Make an appointment, do some xrays and your vet reads the results right then and there, all within a 30 minute time frame. Wishful thinking. <br />I'm so glad you are okay! I feel such relief after reading your post.<br />Hope you and Far Guy have a special Father's Day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930015889151178654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-68155764126034648952009-06-20T08:34:10.968-05:002009-06-20T08:34:10.968-05:00I am so glad this turned out good for you.

Never thought you'd be celebrating that, did you? :) I'm with you on the part about keeping the secret. There are a few people I would ask for prayer, and everyone else would be kept in the dark. My parents live in Southern California and they are both cancer survivors. The amount of time they waited for results was criminal if you ask me. I seriously came close to a nervous breakdown from the stress of not knowing. <br /><br />I hope Far Guy is doing better now too, and you can both RELAX and enjoy your weekend!<br /><br />Emma sends kisses for Chance :)<br /><br />The DuchessEmma Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687752178033531295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-25162349717906263222009-06-20T08:08:40.012-05:002009-06-20T08:08:40.012-05:00Holy moly.

I don't want to burdon anyone unnecessarily. I'm so glad you got good news! <br /><br />A few years ago my husband left on a trip with our son for a fathers day weekend together. 50 minutes after he left I was bent over in severe pain and immediately knew it was kidney stones. I did not call my husband back home, I went to the ER by myself. I knew if I called him he would come back home and for what reason, to watch me scream in pain? No way would I have done that. 48 hours later I had passed three kidney stones and my son and husband had a wonderful weekend together. I would not have changed a thing.<br /><br />Again, I'm so glad you got good news.;DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642967022028132751noreply@blogger.com
