Short Hiatus

It's been a little while since I've posted here and I apologize for that. My EGD was rescheduled and now it's tomorrow. Now all I have is that, the cardiology and pulmonary clearances, and the sleep study.

In the middle of all this, I discovered a lump in my breast. Nothing showed on the diagnostic mammogram. Nothing showed on the ultrasound. So they sent me to a surgeon. The surgeon figured it was a ductal abnormality and I underwent surgery two days ago. After surgery, the doctor said it was periductal mastitis. He said it definitely didn't look like cancer.

Today he called me and said that what he removed was all cancer. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I'll start with an MRI on Monday and see the doctor again on Wednesday. He'll remove my stitches and go over the MRI results with me so we can talk about my options.

He doesn't want me to stop my progress in preparing for my sleeve. Even if I need to postpone for a couple of months.

So, as you can imagine, I will be taking a short (hopefully) break from posting here while I take care of business. See you soon.
