Breast Cancer??!!

25 Oct marks a day of release...

After more than a month of pain with lumps in my left breast, I finally went to a breast doctor. My appointment was at 2.30pm but we waited till 3 plus before it was my turn. 

Anyway, I did an ultrasound of my breast and the doctor said that the big lump was solid and not in liquid form. I was pretty shocked by that. So instead of what I had been expecting, she said she recommended me to do a core biopsy to see if the lump was cancerous. Hubby and I were scared stiff by what she said. He’s afraid that I have cancer and I was more afraid of the pain of doing the biopsy. We decided to go ahead to do the biopsy on the day itself.

So I filled up some forms and hand expressed my left breast to empty it of milk. The doctor numbed my left breast with LA and then proceeded to insert the thick needle in to extract the flesh. However, before she could extract the flesh, milk and blood flowed out instead. We could clearly see the needle through the ultrasound scan and we saw the lump getting smaller as she squeezed the milk and blood out. Then she appeared very happy and said it’s confirmed not cancer! She went on to squeeze, flush and suck the “impurities” out with a syringe. I saw the thick pinkish fluid  (milk+blood) flow out of the hole she injected into my breast. I felt kind of relieved.

So the procedure took quite a while. Not as long as I waited though. Then while I’m getting dressed, the doctor already called hubby in and told him about the turn of events. Hubby was so relieved! 

Dear God,

Thank You for Your love and protection against cancer! Thank You that the whole procedure was not that painful. I pray that the same area will not be swollen and block again. I pray against the lump forming again! With God, all things are possible. You work in ways we cannot see. So even though there’s a high chance that the lump will form again, I pray against that! Please help Raeanne to empty my breasts all the time so that I don’t have to go through all these pain again. In Jesus’ most precious name I pray, amen!
