Good news!

Of the three biopsies only one came back slightly bad (ADH) - the other two are simply fibrocystic changes and microcalcifications.  Of course I'll still need to get a lumpectomy to get the ADH out but that that's a piece of cake!

How this?  When the tech called from the  Breast Clinic here's what she said: "Hi this is Jackie, I'm calling from the Breast Clinic because you told us you wanted to be contacted by phone with your results.  I'm sorry to say it is Cancer."  I kind of squeezed out some kind of response and she said "let me give you a chance to get a paper and pencil because I have a lot.....wait a minute.....oh dear.....I was wrong it's NOT cancer! I'm so sorry I read it wrong."  Wow, nothing like getting a little cardio workout from the phone.  Just goes to show you to read through your piece of paper before you deliver good OR bad news.

Jeez.
