Just the beginning

On April 3^rd - I received a text from my oldest sister to all her 6 sisters reminding us to go in for our well women’s check.

 April 5^th – I went in for my mammogram at AZ Tech Radiology. 

During my appointment, I was told that I had a mass that I should have looked at by additional medical professionals. I was taken in for additional testing in the ultrasound room and the ultrasound tech and assistant spent a long time taking images of my lower right breast in the 4 o clock postition.  I was sent home after and told that my Dr. would contact me in a couple of days to go over the mammogram and ultrasound report. 

April 11^th – I received a call from my OB/GYN that the mass that was found on my mammogram should be removed.

April 18^th – I met with PA Betsie Smiley at the Undiagnosed Breast Clinic at MD Anderson.  At this appointment, I was told that the mass I had was termed a spiculated mass and highly suspicious of cancer.  It was suggested that an ultrasound guided biopsy was performed to find out what the mass really was.
