Deju Vu all over again: Another biopsy

I wish you luck, Noddy. And a benign result.

Thanks, Roberta. At this point I'm in dire need of solid, factual information.

Yikes. Kiwi-sized is not small! Noddy has it been growing over a long period of time or did it appear/swell in a short space of time?

Has this happened to you before? I presume so, since your thread reads "Deja vu". What was it that last time?

Wishing you the best and fastest possible outcome. Hugs from here.

Noddy,

I'm sorry you're facing another ordeal of uncertainty and stress. May the outcome this time be equally good as before.

I'll be thinking of you on Friday.

Pullin' for ya, Noddy - hold your dominion :wink:

And you've been handling this quietly all this time. I understand, but am glad you're telling us now. Consider us in the room with you.

On information, I don't know about statistics or anything. I do think, from my experience with this not exact kind of needle biop, that it is good the target is easily visualized and the previous data will be at hand. I know that is a weird point of view re something that can go the other way.

When I had mine, and the results weren't out yet, the tech who'd been there before and during the procedure - which in my case involved a lot of plugs since the calcifications were tiny and there weren't before xrays at hand to see where the changes were, and that was an amazing day, being 9/11 - she handed me a silver medal of an angel.

Now anyone who knows me here knows I'm not an angel person, and arguably void of superstition. But I kept it. If nothing else along those lines, I still have sentiment. I'll hand it over to you in real life if I figure out where it is, no doubt still in storage, so I'll hand it over virtually via internet.

Noddy, Noddy. Now I wish even more that I could give you a real life hug.

I'll be holding your hand virtually and thinking positive thoughts.

(mumbles about dr.'s and medicine and non answers.)

Well cheese Louise !

We'll help hang onto your dominion if it's feeling a bit heavy.











I knew I was building those biceps up for a reason.

Adding my wishes for you, noddy.

Sending supportive, cheery thoughts to Noddy, and extends hand to help with holding dominion.

Soz--

May your charms be omens.

Heeven--

The lump may be result of my radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer twenty years ago.

I had breast cancer six years ago. Last August I had an abnormal mammogram followed by a biopsy which was negative.

Jes--

Thanks for the moral support. Under the circumstances can I stop suffering fools gladly and unpack my jawbone of an ass?

JPB--

Thanks for the good thoughts. I'm frazzled.

Timber--

You're a good man to have in one's corner--even without a tow truck.

Osso--

One of the cliff-hanging aspects of this Merry Adventure is that having spent nearly two weeks reckoning that on Friday I would Know The Worst (or The Best) I found out today that no one has asked the Radiologist whether a CT Needle Biopsy is possible.

Angel thoughts from a sensible woman with a flair for symbolism are very valuable. Thank you.

Squinney--

If you could start the virtual hand-holding at about 9:30 Friday morning?
Many, many thanks.

EhBeth--

Comforting, helpful hands. Please shed a sequin for me--I'm partial to icy blue.

Edgar--

Your good wishes are appreciated.

Lash--

Thanks for the support. I know you have a mighty right and mighty left.

I'm here, too. I'll be waitng for the good news with you, Noddy.

Noddy- Hang in there girl. We are all behind you. Hold on tight!

(((((HUGS)))))

Swimpy--

Thank you. News of any sort may not be available for a week or more. The specialized surgeon will be out of town.

Phoenix--

You're my front-line Medical Authority so your good vibes are particularly cherished.

(((Noddy)))

...athough I suspect you're not the huggy parentheses type of person...

My fingers are crossed, too.

Aw Noddy, good luck with the procedure and the beauracracy. I'll be thinking of you.

Will be thinking of you on Friday, Noddy, and hoping for a good outcome.
