The plan

[scarfman]

The plan is, the biopsy is set for tomorrow, Friday, morning. Whether the lump is benign or malignant influences how much they need to take out in the actual lumpectomy - if it's malignant they'll want to take out some surrounding tissue too. qtrhorserider has an appointment Monday morning to go over biosy results and to schedule surgery which, possibly, may then get scheduled for Tuesday, her birthday.

She phoned her mother about it today. I'll tell my family about it when I get into my email this evening, and after that I'll upgrade these entries from private to friendslocked. But Leah is having a hard time talking about it, so we'd prefer any expressions of sympathy be confined here and she may look at them another time when she's up to it.

Cripes. Sympathy and best wishes for her and hers.

Thanks.

Eep! Good luck to qtrhorserider! Hope the biopsy says benign instead of malignant! But if it is the latter, here's good wishes to her kicking cancer to the curb!

Thanks. I thought of you and the support walk you tweeted while I was posting.

Fingers crossed for benign.

Thanks. I thought of daisy_knotwise and that lends optimism.

Waiting sucks. Good luck and grumble all you want in the meantime.

She says she was told results take two days anyway.

Thanks for your support.

*hugs* and prayers coming your way. My heart is with you both.

[scarfman]

Thanks for thinking of her.

Oof. As Lisa said, the waiting doesn't help, with a weekend between the biopsy and the results. Hang in there, Leah.

[scarfman]

She was told the biopsy results take two days regardless.

Thanks for your thoughts.
