I don't know about you, but when I had my bopsy, they put me face down on a table and made me dangle the offending body part through a hole in the table. They they raised up the table and stood underneath me to do the bopsy.
I felt like a car at the Jiffy Lube. But colder, and more scared.
Glad you got good news. And thanks for using your platform to encourage others!
So glad your bopsies were all B9. We need all the good news we can get these days. Thank you for sharing your experience. I had a mastectomy about 4 years ago, and I tell all of my women friends to keep getting those annual checkups. Mine had all been fine, and then I missed the annual mammogram in 2020--you know--it was 2020--and when I went for my 2021 checkup, the news came as a shock. Now I go around one-breasted, which doesn't bother me (I'll be 80 this year, so who cares). I'm happy to cancer-free, and yes, I get an annual mammogram. Now here's something maybe someone can explain to me: Since I have only one breast, shouldn't the cost of the mammo be half?
Wendi, it is good to be alive. And I am glad you are alive and well and writing. Thank you.
After my biopsy, I've decided that my physicians should have the procedures performed on them that they performed on me. My dentist gives a topical anesthetic before jabbing the long needle in, but not the radiologist. And the bruising lasted for more than 2 months. Glad we are all alive and thriving-ish!
My suspicious mammogram wasn't suspicious to me once I looked at it. I said, "Oh, that's a paw print where my dog taps me when he wants to get my attention when I am in bed." They didn't believe me and did all sorts of follow-up images. --That's what it was. LOL
I read this aloud to my mom and dad and we laughed for an hour about bopsies, funny Texas accents, and the miracle of modern medicine. The timing of your piece is very special to us, and they remembered you from the LTYM show: another very special time in our lives. Humor is medicine!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh Wendi. I just went through both of these same things EXCEPT I was spared the bopsy on the boobies. The male ultrasound doctor came in and made little comments and noises and declared that my lumps appear to just be regular old boob lumps. "You have dense breasts" has always been my favorite response to my mammograms. Then I had a mole bopsy as well, and waited and wondered and tried not to fall down the rabbit hole of Heather Research because I am also an expert detective doctor. When I report back to my actual doctors they appear unimpressed with my knowledge. *shrug* I'm so glad you're okay but I'm sorry about the scares. It sucks. xo
No medical humor on my mind. Just thank effing god and I’m so happy for you. Super-stressful waiting for the results, I know, but relieved beyond measure for you (and your family, because, well… you know). Truly. Fuck cancer. And thanks for not burying the lede.
I went through the same thing — and it was also benign. Every single time they get upset about one boob being larger than the other. This is the result of nursing a baby (actually two in a row) whom I held on my left arm so I could do something with my right. They never quite went back. I’ve never understood why they don’t flip through my chart and get up to speed on this.
The 1950s aka Lubbock called and they’re gonna need that doc back. Wow. A journey in bopsies. Glad after all that you got the all clear.
I did get the squeezing in Molly North America done in January along with the South America gyn exploration and up to date on all screenings and vax for that matter trying to race ahead of brain worm fedejik (a Star Wars insult you’re welcome)

That is not how mine was, but thank goodness you're okay!
like the song says, waiting is the hardest part! I’m so relieved you’re all clear 🩵🩵

I hate the wait! But like yo, B9! 👍🏼

Congratulations on the good bopsy reports — great news! You should add colonoscopy to your "get these done now" great advice list. Hugs!
Reminds me of the movie “My BIg Fat Greek Wedding” when Andrea Martin’s character says she had a bi-bopsy

No more bopsies! Glad everything turned out ok but I can imagine the stress ❤️

That sounds like a rough couple of months. So sorry you went through that but glad you’re ok!
