I had my 1-year mammo on Friday. I didn't post until today, as my rad ONC. still had my 6-month mammo (from October), so they couldn't compare until today. The area of my lumpectomy had "changed" so they brought me back in for an extra-squishy view. He said that he couldn't rule BC out, but told me to have my surgeon US it, as I have a scheduled follow-up appointment with him in the morning.

The throbbing just below my collarbone and in my neck has gotten worse over the last few days. My arm (2 nodes removed) seems to be having lymphedema symptoms for the last two weeks, which I have not had before. I told my husband, as my pessimistic little self loves to do, that it will play out tomorrow one of two ways: he will look at it, and say not to worry, that it is scar tissue settling into the lumpectomy area and that the throbbing in my chest and neck is muscular (which my ONC has been saying for months), OR he will "suspect", send me for a biopsy which will come back BAD and the throbbing will be lymph node involvement.

There, I got it out. Have I become too much of a blogger, and less of a whimperer? LOL

Will you let you all know how it pans out.

Take care and have a wonderful night,
