This morning I had the breast ultrasound. The technologist and the radiologist did not see anything so the biopsy didn't happen. Their recommendation is to have an MRI/biopsy hopefully within the next couple of weeks. The technologist explained that when the MRI was done the last time, the radiation dye went to an area of the breast (middle area) where it stayed and was captured by the MRI. The "spot" was so small that they were not able to see it in the ultrasound this morning. It was not on the same spot where the lumpectomy was done. There could be a number of things why the "spot" was captured. Who knows what it is. So the next step is the MRI. The technologist said that if it happens again when they do the MRI, a biopsy will be done. The MRI will help the radiologists determine exactly where the "spot" is and then do a biopsy.
I'm not out of the woods yet but I was relieved when they didn't find anything in the ultrasound. This wouldn't be possible without everyone's help in praying and giving your love and support the past few weeks. God is great! Life is sweet! :)
Anyway, this will entail more waiting time in the weeks to come waiting for the MRI and the results but with your continued prayers, our family hopes that we can surpass this trial. We're blessed to be surrounded with great family and friends.
