I met with my surgeon Dr. Johs yesterday for the basic cancer check up/follow up visit. I am not quite a year out from when my treatment ended. It is kind hard not to walk into these appointments with out a little worry. I really like my surgeon he takes his time and really looks for lumps and bumps. About six months ago he found a little bee bee size bump that we are watching. Between then and yesterday I have had my gyno and general doctor give me a breast exam and they never found that same bee bee. Well, Dr. Johs wants me to go get a ultrasound just to be sure because of my past history. I think this is a good idea and will hopefully ease my mind a bit. My cyst hasn’t gone away either, so I get to have the double whammy ultrasound. Guess it is better to be safe than sorry. I feel good about this and am not going to worry til I have something to worry about. or so I tell myself today. My doctor did tell me that since my cyst is painful it is more likely to not be cancer. I guess normal functioning cyst are more painful the the cancer kind. ?? Wish me luck. And make sure you find a doctor you like and trust!

Thanks for your support -
Good luck Jill-
I go through the same worry everytime I go for an appointment. It is good that your doctors are sending you for all the tests. You are in good hands.
Oh… if it helps at all.. I had no pain on my ovarian cyst when it was cancer. So the fact you have pain might be a really good sign!
Good luck, sweetie! Just found your link on Becca Blay’s website- keep that chin up and come visit soon. We miss you- cafe ink is waiting!
Thanks K-FRY! Things went great at my last appointment. They found no lump and my cyst had gone away. Oh boy, I was sweating that one. I feel sooooo great. love when you get good news.
