More good news

The major good news is that I heard from my doctor: the ultrasound is normal, and the additional view X-rays also look good though not definitive: there's some nodular tissue but apparently no distinct nodules. Nonetheless, she suggests that I take the X-ray films to the breast surgeon she gave me a referral to, for a second opinion. She says that most likely that second opinion will not lead to his recommending a biopsy; my only hesitation (other than the inconvenience) is the thought that he may be biased to recommend a biopsy because the insurance company will pay him more for biopsies than for looking at X-rays.So that's major relief.

The minor good news is that [livejournal.com profile] julian_tiger will not have to flatter the king: yes, our fine omnivorous tiger-pup eats lentils.

Oh, that's really good to hear. I'm hoping he won't noodge for a biopsy, but even so -- good news.

And in re: the tiger-pup... lentils? He is a very omnivorous boy!

Good news for you; I'm relieved to hear it.

Your cat is ... remarkable.

Good!

Our tigger-cat loved brussels, peas, oat cookies, jam and chocolate. I was too young to realise that he should be moderated in these passions, but he still lived to a ripe old (chubby!) age :-)

*much* relief from this reader, too, [livejournal.com profile] redbird; thank you for the update. Well done follow-up. (And good luck with the considerations of whether to do go to the one with the possibility of biopsy... tough call, that one.)

Crazy(and still tracking her own "fat-deposit", at least that's what the dr. calls it now....)Soph
