Biopsy Results Are In

I received my post surgical biopsy report yesterday and much to my surprise it was inconclusive. It stated that the specimen did not survive processing. Of course this was very disturbing to learn. I have since learned that this occurs for various reasons, not always within human control. I have to believe that my doctor’s initial observation of a herniated muscle causing the lump is correct. I just cannot subject myself to additional surgery right now, and continued surveillance will be vigilant of course. This is where my faith rubber hits the reality road, for sure! My follow up appointment is in another week.

I have contacted my oncologist who referred me for this biopsy to let him know what happened and to ask his thoughts on my continuing debilitating fatigue. I am on week 5 of 8 weeks mega vitamin D dosing, and I have a dexa bone density scan next Monday.

The fatigue I experience every day often makes me feel as though I am disoriented, kind of spacey. I just have no energy for just basic daily stuff that needs to get done. It is really bothering me to feel this way and not know what is going on. I don’t feel myself. I don’t much like this person. Not to mention, my house is falling apart!

Ugh…what a pain! Sometimes the “waiting game” for tests is worse. The anxiety of being in limbo sucks. Hopefully you have a support network of friends/neighbors/relatives who can help with the house stuff! If not, let it go!
