Sooooo nervous about tomorrow.
Slept badly last night...
I had to go to the Nuclear Medicine Dept. at the cancer center. Very strange place. Seeing those nuclear signs wasn't comforting. They also had complicated door opening and closing systems. A lot of people running in and out of closed doors. It looked cold and again, very 60's. I was ready to "duck and cover"!
Once inside though, they were very nice.
Procedure today was strange but not difficult or painful. They injected some sort of slightly radioactive solution into my breast. I had to wait two hours. Luckily, the cancer center isn't far from home. I returned and they put me under this strange machine that looks like a less-modern CT Scan or MRI. I only had to stay still 10 minutes. The doctor marked my breast for the spot and they gave me an envelope for the surgeon tomorrow.
By coincidence, a friend was put under today for a D&C over the border in Germany. She gave me a blow-by-blow description, fresh from the outpatient experience.
Still scared. Still a sissy!!!!
