You are an angel. I am so abundantly grateful for your response to my question.
You yourself have had quite a journey with your breast issues, and what you’ve gone through.
I consider you a courageous warrior.

I agree, wholeheartedly with you, new doctors, new eyes on things, and a hopeful outcome.

I know I have been fastidious about all of my healthcare.

Especially about my breast health with all the surgeries and exhaustion with each of them, hoping the next time I’d be put together better.

All in all, I would take what I went through over a diagnosis of cancer.

You are a brave woman.

I Messaged my breast surgeon from Massachusetts, fortunately she responded rapidly to me and just said keep me informed on what’s going on. She wants to know what the outcome is, and naturally I told her; just because I left Massachusetts. I still consider her my doctor and I will not hesitate to be on her doorstep if need be.

I know they all have to air on the side of caution, especially, with old history of images from another location, and a new finding.

I am grateful that they are willing to do their job thoroughly because that’s what we all want is a consciousness medical team of people.

Fortunately, I’m at Yale. I was at Boston Lahey clinic before this with a team. I was with for 16 years so naturally, getting new doctors was somewhat daunting..

I do not actually have a new breast surgeon yet they’re reviewing my new patient information, and I’m supposed to hear from them.

The good news is I have two other breast doctors in Massachusetts and one is from Brigham and women’s in Boston.

I always leave the door open to come back to the doctors. I’ve trusted for many years.. even if it’s three hours up and three hours back.

I’m always keeping an open mind and praying and hoping for good results.

I pray also for your continued wellness, and thank you for your kind and generous, compassionate response. It is greatly appreciated.
Hugs and blessings to you.

For fun, I had a single mastectomy and an expander, as i was supposed to get radiation. My tumor kept growing after chemo, so the breast had to go. Then no radiation!! Instead a blood clot. Derailed. But my breast surgeon was moving 1 hr down the road. The plastics worked at both hospitals. 11 months after my 1st surgery with these two doctors at COH, I headed down to Cedars Sinai as i wanted both doctors to finish what they started. They did and both sides ended up removed. Both drs i would refer and have if they live in So Cal. Bedside manner and skill.
Your 3 hours is so worth it if you trust them. It sounds like all the ducks are lining up.
I will say a prayer for the best results possible. And the willingness to stay on this journey your body has taken you on. You too have courage and strength and a positive spirit.
Massachusetts and now at Yale. You remind me with your dr history that they come to love us and want the cure for us. Being a dr with all cancer patients is a challenge, but your Dr sounds like a blessing.
Keep us posted. Nothing beats sharing with others who know because they know. We understand.
