a bit of a scare

[rinaina]

Had my yearly diagnostic mammo and all was fine. Followed up with my first yearly appt with breast surgeon, (was seeing her more often until this year). She was a bit concerned about an area on other breast and asked if I could stick around for an ultra sound. You of all people know how I was feeling in that moment. Thank goodness all was okay but she wants me to come back in 6 months instead of waiting the year. So much for sigh of relief at reaching 5 years NED. Back to feeling not so safe again. In addition to this, I am facing yet the possibility of another surgery for yet another tumor in my other parotid gland due to my Sjogren's Syndrome, (had the other done in 2004). It was a grueling surgery taking 5 hours vs the 2 surgeon predicted. I have had 6 surgeries since 2002 and enough is enough. With that said, it shouldn't get any worse right?
