Journal entry by Andi Baker

Hello all.  So, an update from my visit with oncologist yesterday. It was a bit emotional and a lot of uneasiness came flooding back.

As she did exam, she did quite a bit of hmmmm and ummmming and said she wants a diagnostic mammogram done asap.  When asked her why, all she would say is, let's just make sure.

Then she kind of tried to back step and say usually do diagnostic mammograms on top of regular mammograms on a yearly basis now.  And not technically due until July, but still wants one as soon as scheduling can get me in.

It reminded me so much of the unensuring sureingly way they talked to me in August when I was diagnosed.

Hoping I'm just having a PTSD moment and all is well, but not really convinced either.

Also said the exhaustion I have is from the radiation and can take 6-9 months or so to really recoop from.  Ugh.

Thank you so much for your continued support, good vibes and prayers.  It's still a long journey to go thru.
