results of the biopsy

Dr. Carr phoned late on Monday the 10, but I wasn't home to get the message. I phoned him at the hospital first thing on November 11th to get the results. Cancer it is. Well, I was prepared for that. 

His receptionist will be phoning me in the next few days to set up a date for surgery. Analysis of the lump and surrounding tissue will take a couple weeks, then I will be off to Victoria for a visit with the cancer centre there. If the tissue and lymph nodes are clear then that cold be it. He really didn't say one way or the other. If those calcifications also show cancer then I will be scheduled for a mastectomy. 

Although everything is spinning right now, I am reassured by this. To me, it's a sign that all is well with the system in Nanaimo.
