Hey K..I'm sorry about your friend, so it turned out to be stage III, was she the one with the good family and lovely kids? Thats very sad that she didnt get to see a specialist.
As for you.. yes I panicked there with you for a moment! Sounds like you have a private system there where you are free to go see a different doctor of your choice? Anyway I am so glad you are all clear!
I was also twice told that I had a lump in my breast.. 3 years they told me I had a lump and needed ultrasound, mamogram and needle biopsy.. turned out there was no lump! Second time was this August.. I was referred again for a lump to the breast cancer clinic and went through all the worry and again.. no lump. So I turned down the mamograph this time! I know that I have 'lumpy' b()()bs now and this can confuse some doctors. And its great that H was there to support you, yay !
I cant understand why your original doc would reccommend a parial tissue biopsy op without ultrasound and mamographic evidence and even needle biopsy, thats terrible, you should write and complain!
Oh and yes, the poet.. I kept saying dont I, if you read my emails during my A you would swear I was madly in love, but when I looked backed and reflected on it, it wasnt love, it was a huge mistake. I hope you believe this now, because H does keep telling you he never loved her. Hugs and glad you are ok.
