Radiology Dr. protocol
Hi HER2 family,
In the scheme of things my post is not really important, but as the first anniversary of my dx will be coming up soon I am, as of late, being constantly reminded of what happened. Although I found the lump myself just washing in the shower I requested a mammo/sono before any biopsy. I think in the back of my mind I was hoping for a miracle - you know something like "it is nothing". I still would have gone for biopsy. After mammo, the sono tech was working on me and suddenly said "I will be right back". She came back a few minutes later with a woman who introduced herself as the radiology dr. She looked at the screen and said "I have very bad news for you - you have breast cancer, although it is not 10 years ago so you could probably live for several years with this". Then she asked me if I was there by myself. I was crying and shaking and she just exited stage left. Still can't believe I was told like that by a perfect stranger. I know this is in the past but I just hope no other of us has had this experience.
