Good news! There were no cancer cells present in the biopsy I had on Monday. Yay!
I had decided I probably wasn't going to hear the results until next week so didn't take my phone with me when I went down to visit with Dawn and Aunt Peggy. I came home around 5 o'clock and had a message left at 4:30 of course! Thankfully Dr. Macey said she would be in the office until 6 and also left her cell phone number so I immediately called her back. I was pretty nervous when I called and had been trying to feel prepared to hear bad news.
I was so happy when she started the conversation with, "I have great news."
A pretty stark contrast to the previous results which started with, "Hi, this is Dr. X I have your biopsy results. Unfortunately there were cancer cells so we'll get you set up with a surgeon and an oncologist... and blah.... blah... receptors... blah.... blah... nurse.... blah.... blah... doctor... blah..." Basically I don't know what all was said because my heart was pounding so loud! Although I have to say Dr. X was fairly chipper in her delivery of that news. I wouldn't want that job. I still think Dr. Macey might have done a better job. Maybe in part because I had actually met her in person. I was glad she did this last biopsy and requested that she call me with the results if at all possible.
In the end it really doesn't matter because bad news is bad news... and thankfully good news is good news!
