Another update! I got a mammogram was kind of disappointed by the results. My oncologist said she could no longer feel Lenny but when the mammo came back, it said that Lenny had shrunk but only from his original 3.7x5.4cm to 3.2x4.9cm. So I was kind of disappointed. But in meeting with my doc, she showed me the actual scans, and while Lenny isn't going down in size, he has definitely broken up! The original scan was a solid white mass. The latest showed what looked kind of like a glaxacy in space and was not obviously a mass. So happy!
But, that leads me to the next decision made, finally - man did I go back and forth on this. But because Lenny is still pretty big, a lumpectomy is kind of out of the question. Which is okay, as I had basically made up my mind for the bi-lateral mastectomy. I have dense breast tissue, and would be going in every six months for a mammogram. EVERY little thing would be checked out, so basically I would relive this period every six months for a least a while. And because of the size of Lenny, the risk of recurrence is higher and I just don't want to do this again if I don't have to. So some time in August I will be undergoing a major surgery. But it's the right choice.
