I'm almost afraid to write it, but the nurse called yesterday while I was having lunch out with a friend and told me the MRI result was "benign." For a second I wasn't sure what she meant, I was so focused on how much cancer there was. I'm still wary of being too happy till I talk to the doctor, who didn't call me yesterday. What does a negative MRI mean, exactly, about my condition? Does the doctor actually know, or is it an educated guess?
Today the doc is in surgery all day but supposedly will call me in between surgeries (what a fun day that must be). I assume I'm still going to have surgery to have the nipple removed, but I just have to wait and see.
Better "benign" than malignant, of course. I stood in the entryway of the Turkish restaurant calling my children to tell them: "Yeah, baby, a normal MRI!" There's nothing like delivering good news to kids who are upset and worried about you.
And now more waiting. What a two weeks this has been.
