Hi everyone. The surgeon that I met today was very nice and very knowledgable about breast cancer. He examined me and then numbed the area and tried to extract the fluid from the lump. Unfortunately he wasn't able to get anything because the lump was moving around too much. If he had been able to and if the lump deflated then it would have been only a cyst and my worries would have been over.

Now I have to go back on Tues. April 13th at 1:45pm for a biopsy. He'll be removing the lump and then sending it to the lab for tests. He's able to perform this in his office and it takes about 30 minutes or so. He feels that it's only a cyst so I sure hope that he's right. I probably won't know the test results until Fri. April 16th. I plan to either take the day off or just work during the morning that day.

My mom has really been very supportive and very helpful during all of this. After my doctor's appointment we went out to lunch and then I decided to call my work to see just how busy we really were. Since we weren't very busy, I decided to take the day off. After lunch we went shopping but didn't end up buying anything.

So far no one at my work knows anything about this. I need to tell the lady that I work with about it though. I may tell my boss also but I'm not sure yet.
Thanks for all of your prayers and support. I hope to have some good news for you next week.
