We met Dr. P last Monday for my six-month check-up (post surgery). He said there was no new growth on my right breast, the lymph nodes are ok and everything is clear. Good.
Then I told him about my unusual headache on the left side of my head. The one I've been having since last month. It won't go away. Dr. P asked me if the pain is from the skull or the brain. I can't tell what the difference is. Dr. P ordered an x-ray of my skull (left temporal, I think), just to make sure.
I had the x-ray done this morning. It's my first time to have my skull x-rayed. I thought it would only be one shot but they took a few. The positions they asked me to do to have it done were really awkward and uncomfortable like tilting my head as far back as I could while sitting up straight and not moving at all.
It was also my first time to take off my wig outside the comforts of our home and to a complete stranger at that. I told the lady that I'm wearing a wig and asked if it will affect the x-ray. The lady said it is best to take it off to avoid any wrong diagnosis. So I did. It felt weird. I'm sure the lady has seen hundreds of bald women in her line of work but I was a bit uncomfortable since it was my first. The lady kept on moving my head to ensure she got the right shot. Another exposure to radiation.
Anyway, I hope the results are normal. I'm praying they are. I'll find out when I meet with Dr. K later this month.
