My good friend Ngaire said to me the other day, BABY STEPS. So that's how I am approaching this nightmare. One tiny step at a time, one day at a time.
Yesterday my core biopsy went well. Quite painful until they gave me the second lot of local anaesthetic and then it wasn't too bad except with they took the samples I could feel them breaking through the wall of the growth. Ouch. Anyway today I am still very swollen and quite bruised. The doctor was a real brute and didn't even introduce himself. He said my lump was quite mobile and palpable. Hopefully that is a good thing and not a bad. He actually had trouble getting the needles in. I hopefully never have to have one of these again. My goodness the needles were huge. They used an 18 and 16mm needle. I watched it all on the ultrasound screen and found it quite interesting.
I hardly slept at all last night even though I took Nurofen plus all night. I found it very hard to get comfy. My wonderful MIL stayed last night as I had a work function on last night (she looked after the kids) as they are in the process of selling to the YMCA and it was a farewell dinner. By the end of the evening I was glad to get home as I was feeling quite sore.
Slept for a few hours today so feel a bit better.
Tomorrow afternoon I should have my results. Keep all that you can crossed for me.

I think that it will be good news,
I am hoping and praying that it will be.
I feel like I am going through it with you, have a job sleeping, eating, even going to work.
Goodness knows what you are going through, I would be falling apart at the seams.
What a crappy year you and I have had.
love you
