soc_puppetWent in for my mammogram followup today. Seems like I'll be needing a biopsy done; it's scheduled for next Wednesday, which is in a cluster of days off for me, so that at least works out okay.
I've got my fingers crossed, and my mom is a breast cancer survivor herself (20+ years cancer-free and still going!), so she should be able to help me out with what to expect and so forth.
If it ends up that I need to have surgery, I'll probably ask about getting things flattened out completely, since at that point I'd be going under the knife either way. If I don't end up needing surgery, I may ask about getting flattened out anyway, just to reduce the risk and stress in general (etc). If the question of genetic testing comes up, I'll probably ask about Cowden's Syndrome, since it's a possibility that came up when I was researching during my thyroid nodule scare.
