...according to my ultrasound, anyway. In addition, my uterus is in fantastic shape and I'm looking good in all of my reproductive areas. I saw Dr. I last week and he gave me my glowing report. Now I have to go do my annual CA 125 blood test, which is the one where they check my cell counts to see if the numbers are astronomically high, which could indicate ovarian cancer. No big deal. That's the easiest of all of my tests. I'll see Dr. I again in September. By then I may have my implants in!!
Speaking of implants, Dr. F called to tell me that my MRI and mammogram came back clear and that we're all set to proceed with surgery. His surgery scheduler called to tell me she's going to send me a packet with all my instructions. He also told me that since I've never had any suspicious cells in my scans, we don't need to remove a lymph node during surgery. So that's one less decision that needs to be made!
I'm really nervous still, of course, but I'm starting to get a little excited. I really want to move forward and get this done so I can put it behind me. Obviously I know it will never truly go away. I will still have to see Dr. F, Dr. I and Dr. C for many years to come. But once a year is way better than twice a year each plus numerous medical exams and tests. I hate those. Plus, I get to get a breast reduction, which makes me super happy considering I'm now a DD. I might have to burn my bras in the fireplace to celebrate :)
