Today is the day of the much anticipated breast biopsy. Just to one up everyone I know who has ever had a breast biopsy, my biopsy will be of BOTH sides. Take that! In honor of this occasion I took a sick day. Mostly so that I could go to yoga prior to the procedure since I'm not sure how I'll feel after having holes poked in my poor, prodded, stalked and (don't forget) small breasts.
My understanding is that this will be the ultimate in humiliation and annoyance. Not only will there be the actual biopsy, there will be a mammogram and ultrasound prior to the biopsy to make certain the biopsy is targeted. While I'm happy they're planning to aim well, I am not particularly interested in another lube and squeeze fest. Furthermore, the only facility my GP will refer me to for this wonder of diagnostics is a 'women only' facility. So Keith can't come with me. Great. Off to have holes poked in me, alone.
