Whew! I think...

Got the results of the breast ultrasound.  There was a slight growth from three months ago but not substantial enough that it should be of any concern.  Dr. P read the results to us that was too technical but in layman's term it means it is not cancer.  According to the radiologist's findings, there was no changes as a whole, nor did they detect it was cancer.  No further 3-6 months follow-up is required.  Dr. P said if I want, an ultrasound can be requested the next time I have a mammogram.  Other than that no further tests is required.  Dr. P did tell me to do regular monthly self breast exam.  Any changes at all has to be reported to Dr. C.  Obviously.

I should be extremely happy and relieved right?  How come I am not?  I may be slightly relieved but not entirely.  The pain in the left breast is still there but Dr. P said that is normal and actually good news that it hurts.  Maybe I was hoping he'd tell me he'll remove the cyst and when he didn't recommend that, I was disappointed.  I can't let my guard down for a second when it comes to my health.   I guess it will be something hovering over my head forever until I find the answer that I am looking for.
