SUSPICIOUS

So I returned to New York City, where I reside, and called my gynecologist on Monday, asking for a referral to a breast specialist. I arrived at NYU medical center first thing on Thursday morning for an appointment...by myself. Again, I was in denial and told my future husband that there was no reason to worry, or accompany me, that in fact maybe I should talk to a psychologist of some sort. The pain was all in my mind.

Dr Daniel Roses, Director of Surgical Oncology at NYU Hospital said the word of the day immediately, "SUSPICIOUS". This feels "SUSPICIOUS". Are you too busy to go to Murray Hill Mammography IMMEDIATELY? Suddenly, my calendar was cleared for the day.

At the mammography clinic, I was whisked in for all the necessary tests; and the "S" word was repeated throughout my day there. I knew the diagnosis immediately when I looked into the eyes of Dr. Hadar, as she completed the sonogram. The biopsy would of course change the "S" word into the "C" word. The only question unanswered that day, were the "S" spots on the other breast cancerous as well. I had to come back the next day to ultimately find out that I only had cancer in one breast.
