Ultrasound Gone Biopsy!

Slept on the couch again last night. Right now the port is just too uncomfortable to be able to sleep on the bed. I can still hardly move my right arm, and the entire area from my collar bone into the side of my neck is stiff. The muscles just don't seem to want to relax and I don't know if its just because its still not used to something foreign being under my skin. Ended up being thirty minutes too early to the hospital so Dad and I went to grab a bite at the cafeteria. I wasn't feeling well so I just had some pomegranate blueberry naked juice. Dad got to eat some biscuits in gravy and bacon (while I sit there jealous because I can't eat that anymore!) starting to think he needs to watch what he eats again! I mean really he has to be able to stay alive to see his grandkids and that's going to be about 10-15 years from now! (Unless Bobby and I adopt) Dad thinks that with how stem cells are progressing that if I can't have my own kids the natural way that I can grow some from my own stem cells. That's going to be expensive! But hey I've got 10-15 years to save up right?! I guess this means I can spend a little more on the wedding. HAH. Anyways we ended up back to the image center and ended up talking to the lady "in charge" and talked about our situation over at Banner MD Anderson. She was a bit shocked at how disorganized everything was and how I was being treated, so she ended up taking some things into her own hands to get thing set up for us. My Nurse Navigator (the one whose supposed to keep things straight) wasn't going to be in till 8:30 and my appointment was at 8 so I couldn't talk to her but Dad did. I was escorted to the ultrasound room after talking to Dr. Loving my image radiologist. He explained why I needed the two biopsies and that it could be nothing since my PET scan showed nothing in those areas. However he wanted to be sure since the MRI did. I also got the results from the PET scan and it appears that the cancer has only stuck to the area it's in and the one lymph node. I was so happy to hear this as I had been praying for some form of good news. God really answers when you need him! So I go to the ultrasound room and well there's nothing on the screen showing anything in the tissue. So we end up going to the MRI. They end up seeing the same thing again and decide on the biopsy. Now let me tell you an MRI Biopsy sucks! Your laying on your stomach, you have your boobs squished and if your small like me your ribcage too. This makes it difficult to breathe. So I had a hard time with the whole process because all I wanted to do was move around and get comfortable. Then came the biopsy after the scans were done. This was the worst part because on top of numbing me and putting something in both my breasts I had to get another scan. After the scan I was numbed further and then there was some sort of drilling sound to collect tissue samples. My port all the while was screaming at me as were my sides. I wimped out and cried a bit because it still hurt like hell! But after I was done they told me I did a lot better than most women do with the MRI Biopsy. After that I went in for an "easy" mammogram to see if my clips were in the right place. That hurt thanks to my port. I went and got dressed and my Chemo doctor came in to talk to me as she supposedly trying to contact me the last two days but found out through my nurse navigator that I've been at the hospital the last two days and that's why I have yet to respond! She told me about my prescriptions and my PET scan which I already knew about. Then she said she'd see me on Monday and left. The PET scan was such a relief. Now to just pray about the two I had done today. I was finally discharged and Dad told me he talked to my nurse navigator for me and everything was settled out, including my prescriptions and a few other things. Hopefully all works out and ill be okay on Monday. This day has wiped me out. Good news that makes me happy is that Bobby's folks are flying in today! Sad that his sister didn't come with but maybe next time! He's not too happy about it, but what child is happy about their parents coming to visit? Especially when your apartment is a pigsty that'll give your mom a heart attack *cough* love you Bobby! *cough* hopefully these biopsy sites don't hurt like the last ones but so far they're starting to. Ugh! Sleeping has been difficult with the pain, but it'll subside eventually right? Well here's hoping to tomorrow!
