Got the report, they see the same lesion that the MD Anderson CT scan had shown, but they say that it is probably due to chemotherapy or biopsy. This is great news. As I learned MRI with and without contrast is the best way of visualizing livers and with this method they did not find anything that looks like metastatic disease!
Moreover they mention that the lesion that was observed back in October is mostly resolved and say that this is in agreement with a lesion that would have been caused by chemotherapy. The newly observed lesion could be a residuum of the original lesion or due to the biopsy I had to have.
So all is good. They do suggest another short-term follow up MRI to exclude metastatic disease - I do not know what short-term means, a week (probably not), a month (probably), or 3 months.. So we'll go through this again, but hopefully it won't be that stressful.
Tomorrow I will go in again, to get my port flushed! I had not had it done earlier because I had thought that the port would be out during the mastectomy - which I ended up postponing..
I know I had said that I was OK going through the weekend without news but the last 16 hours or so have been quite hard. Still (or rather because of that) I spent this morning at Ada's preschool volunteering. It was great. She was so happy to have me there and it was good for me to watch her in a different environment. It was our turn to bring snacks, so we brought pizza, and she served it to her friends, so cute! I am her mom so of course I will find that cute.
Thank you everyone for all the prayers, love, thoughts and hugs... I hope everyone has a fabulous week...
