Hello Loves, hope your having an better day than I'am. Im stuck at home with the worst cold ever! LAME!!!
Well lets move on shall we! Ok, so incase you didn't know the treatment was going to be done through a laser, they would aim for the spot of the tumor and zap it. But before I could start my treatments I had to get a MRI of my breast and some more CAT scans. This was to make sure that they knew exactly where the tumor was and to make sure that they werent going to be hitting any parts of my breast tissue due to the tumor being so close to my breast.
That same day (was on a Friday) I went for the MRI finished and went home. As soon as I walked through the door I got a call from where I got the MRI and was told I had to go get an mamogram because they saw something in my breast from. Due to it being friday and them calling at the end of the day by the time I called all my main docters to see what the heck was going on they were all closed. So I had to wait till Monday my first day of treatment to see what was happing.
So my frist day of treatment comes along and I was pretty nerviouse still, pluse worried from all weekend about the findings of my MRI. I was to go after my treatment to get the mammogram and see what was happening but in the mean time first I had to start my treatment. I soon met my radiation technicians who would be doing the procedure and was so happy/relived! They were the nicest people ever and were so sweet.
So basically here was the procedure:
* 3 weeks total
*I would go in every day at 9:30 in the morning
*Go straight to change to a gown
*I would go into the room where they had a table for you to lay on
*They put me into position and tape my breast
*Then It was like no more then 15 mins tops just laying there with some green laysers pointing at my chest and then I was out of there.
Best part about the treatment is that you dont feel a thing! Although unfortunatly there are side effects later on throughout the treatment, I know because of mine due to it being in the throat and chest I started to get really bad sore throats and a lil sun burn. But they gave me some meicated mouth wash for it and the pain was gone almost that same day, the only thing left was feeling extemely tired.
So back to what was happening with them finding something from my MRI, after treatment I went for the mammgram and was told that they still saw something so they needed to do a ultra sound of the breast to see more clearly what is was. So as Im in the room waiting for the docter to come in im praying that it wouldn't be what I was fearing. I felt like I was back at the strart, what if I had breast cancer too?! What would I do?! What would I tell my family?! How would I tell them?! All these things where popping in my head, but I calmed myself down and just hoped for the best. Soon the first doctor came in and said he didn't see anything it was just the regular breast tissue, but he wanted his co-partner to come in and finalize it as well. So doctor number 2 comes in and says he doesn't see anything eighther but right as I feel relieved he stops and says "oh, well thats not normal." He left the room and Im left once again to wait till the following day to find out what the heck is going on!!
As me and my family had counted down the hours and minutes till the next mornings treatment anxiously in finding out the results. It was finally time to find out! The results came in clear and I was fine! Thank GOD!!!
