Jaw Surgery & Now a Lumpectomy - ugh

[DolphinBite]

Hey all -

Well, it's obviously time for me to learn lessons in patience and letting go - 1 day after I had my jaw surgery I got a call from my doctor saying that they were worried about my mammogram. It's been 3 weeks and I've had 2 mammograms, an ultrasound, and a biopsy. Next week, I go in for a lumpectomy. They don't think I have breast cancer, but they have to take the lump out to be 100% sure. I'm really scared.

I know this is a jaw surgery forum, but a lot of you have become virtual friends and I thought you would want to know. Here's the blog post that explains it all:

Dolphin,
Good luck tomorrow and heal quickly! The unknown is scary, I know, and you have already been through a lot, but it's better to be certain that it's just a simple fibroadenoma. Please keep us posted.

Thanks everybody. The appointment with the breast doctor went really well this morning. Got all my questions answered - for me the 'not knowing' is the worst part, so if I can get any information at all, it's helpful.

Can't tell you what all of your kind messages have meant to me. I never dreamed when I joined the Jaw Surgery Forum months ago that I would be getting support for an entirely different surgery. Hugs and love to you all!
