It was a slow week, I still was tired from the cold I'd had and it rained quite a bit in the early part of the week. On Friday I had a breast aspiration. Several weeks ago I felt an unfamiliar lump on one of my breasts. When you have breasts the size of mine, it is not hard to notice a change. So I had the usual mamo and ultrasound done, and they recommended the aspiration done. They stuck a tiny little needle into me to numb the area, that burned like fire, but the rest was a piece of cake. I won't get the lab results back until the 24th, which is way too long to have to wait, I think. Luckily, they are not too concerned, apparently I have lots of cysts in my body, that is one reason that I lost my uterus several years ago. I guess cysts just like me. Still, if I was overly concerned about cancer, 10 days to find out biopsy results is sheer torture.
I hosted a soup and salad party for the ladies of our church after my procedure. We had close to 2o different soups to try. It was good to host everyone, it's been a while since I've had a big gathering at my house. One of the ladies of the group had just suffered a miscarriage that very morning, and her husband had to work an evening shift. She didn't want to be home alone, so she came to hang out with us, of course we prayed for her, hugged her, and cried with her. We also had a great time with many laughs. It is a testament to the women in my body that she wanted to be with them in her time of sorrow. I am so blessed with godly women in my life.

I am cyst prone too. Did the aspiration thing many times. My surgeon told me that there was a patient that she aspirated 10 cysts and the woman lost a cup size!! The worse part was her insurance would only pay for 3 aspirations per visit and she ending up paying for the other 7 aspirations out of pocket. I will hope Obama will fix such medical oddities.
Here's to the benefit of small breasts where any little lump or bumb is noticible!
My mom also has lots of cysts that she gets drained regularly, which I'm sure means I can expect them to start showing up soon too. :( I hope everything turns out all right!
I will be praying for you during this waiting time. Waiting can be really nerve racking. Hugs, Ashley
Sorry to hear that you are having to wait for results. I will be praying for you. I know you have a strong faith in the Lord and trust Him in every way. He is in total control. Love you!
