I just realized that I never posted the update regarding my biopsy! I don't have cancer! lol Hopefully you assumed that since I wasn't writing at all. I did have to have a biopsy. I went in, brought my dad with me for moral support, and of course they were ridiculously behind so we waited... and waited.... and waited... Once they brought me in they informed me that they were going to try to simply aspirate the "mass" because they believed it was fat. This is the difference between a pretty solid mass and a not so solid mass from what I can tell. They can aspirate something that is not so solid, but if it is solid they need to do a core needle biopsy and leave a tracker so they know where they were. Well in my case they were able to aspirate the whole thing! The doctor looked at the "mass" in the tube, looked at me and said "it's fat. I still have to send it in, but it's fat"... I got the call and yes indeed, it was totally and completely benign. They barely even had to put a bandaid on the spot they poked.
So although life continues to be completely and totally insane for me, it is not my health that is an issue. Hooray! And I even get to wait a full year before my next MRI. Good news all around.
