Mood and what affects it

11. So, I had my biopsy

I didn't realize it was an actual surgical procedure! Before we went in, the doctor told me that based on the MRI, things looked bad. My mood dropped faster than a stone. Then we went in and got started...and he said what he saw did NOT look like cancer, but some random stuff (actually, cysts) that was 99% most likely benign in his opinion. He said he was tempted to not even biopsy it, but he went ahead just to remove all doubt. Edited to add that I've since read that these fluid-filled cysts are a symptom of ostearthritis.

I should mention that this doctor, a radiologist, was given the Doctor of the Year award by the hospital this year. I know that because we happened to be there on the day it was announced (we were there for a different test).

Whew!

I'll see my oncologist in two weeks to see the official results of the test, but so far it looks good.
