Fantastic News!!!!

Hep, hep, hooray, all my test results were normal! Woohoo! Fantastic indeed! :)

Dr. K told us that the mammogram was conclusive and it was normal. Nothing to worry about said the big guy. Yeah! Like I said yesterday I was going to push for the breast ultrasound. No such luck there. Trust me I tried to ask for it a few times, short of going down on my knees and beg, but he said no. Dr. K was satisfied with the results of my mammo and didn't see a need for an ultrasound. He said "why expose yourself to more radiation?" Ah because the mammo screwed up last year! Duh! I told him I want it for my peace of mind. Still didn't work. Well at least I tried.

Anyway I asked him about the dizziness, headache and mild pains. Dr. K told me to check with Dr. C about my dizziness. It has nothing to do with my hormonal therapy. Next the headache which I've had for two months. He thinks it might be tension headache. Dr. K even put pressure where the pain was coming from. I said the pain is kinda similar to the pressure but not quite the same. Dr. K said to observe it for another month and if it still persists he'll order a CAT scan. The mild pains? He pretty much shrugged it off and didn't explain it properly.

We also talked about how I'm reacting to Tamoxifen for my hormonal therapy. I told him the hot flashes are no fun and usually occurs at night. He felt sorry for me. I also asked him about my period and what to expect. It's kinda back but really short. Dr. K said it may or may not come back at all since I'm already peri-menopausal. Will it increase my chances to have ovarian or uterus cancer? Dr. K said no but it may increase my chance for another breast cancer based from really old findings. What?!?!?! BUT Dr. K it's highly unlikely. Anyway Dr. K said DO NOT WORRY about it and enjoy the fact that the test results are normal. Hey what can I do I'm a worrywort.

I won't see Dr. K again until next year after my annual mammogram. Good!

It took awhile for the good news to sink in because I was disappointed he didn't order an ultrasound. But when it did, it felt great. "God is great!" That's my status for today on my Facebook account. God is great because He answered my prayers. He didn't let me down. :)

What a wonderful day!
