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.
