Seems you were mostly right,
Louise.
Some good news today.
They weren't lying, one scan was blurry. So they had me retake it.
However, the doctor did see the scans immediately and wanted me to take a sonogram of one breast. So I took it then and there and she personally came to do the sonogram and explained as she scanned my breast.
She found two spots - one was a harmless water-filled cyst. She looked at my past records and saw I've had it for years. Nothing to worry about. The second spot was smaller, but also looked to the doctor to be partially water-filled and she thinks - 98% sure based on morphology (just looking at the structure) - that it's shaping up to be another water-filled cyst. However, it does have a small solid area. So I could either
1) wait 6 months and come back to see if there's been a change
or
2) have a biopsy done
I went for the biopsy. I go in Monday and will have results within 24 hours.
I called my sister and she was suspicious. She, too, had a structure in her breast she'd had for years and when taking a biopsy on the
other spot they'd found on her, she asked them to check the old one. They did and found malignant cells in the spot she'd had for years.
However, she'd never had water-filled cysts. Hers were hard 'capsules'. So my things are a new experience. She told me to have them do a biopsy on both spots. I'll see if they can, just for grins.
So, thanks to all of you for your good wishes, they really mean a lot and help a great deal
Keeping my fingers crossed for Monday's biopsy.
