Re: Bleeding from Good Breast
Thank you for the information on the papilloma and iodine, I'm going to read into it further when I get home tonight. I have the best breast surgeon in the world here in Pittsburgh and I trust him with my life, so I am going with the surgery to remove it. He gave me three options, to watch and monitor, to do an MRI, or to remove and biopsy. I asked him his opinion and he said to remove.
I feel good about the decision but physically, I have not been feeling well since the 18th. Having headaches and terrible problems with my stomach. Hoping it's just a bug from the cold but it's a little worrisome with my chronic issues. Oh well, wait and see what the PET scan brings.
Thank you all for the support and encouragement - you all are amazing!
