Thank you belatedly Uptown. Now many weeks later I have had my ultrasound. There was no node worth taking a biopsy of. "Nothing bad happening here." Some fatty tissue etc. I was so relieved as was the friend who accompanied me. For the expected FNA there was a big group of medical people so after the good news I told them to all go and have a cup of coffee.

I could bemoan the fact that I had to wait so long to get this reassurance but in fact the wait made me face a lot of the issues that are going to affect me from now on as a person who has had three primaries and has used up some of her nine lives. I think I'm getting better at living in the present:)
