WD is wonderful. It helped a lot to know I was going to see him when I was done.
The staff at the Breast Center were all awesome, once I got there. This is the part which professionally offended me: Tufts sent me to Melrose Wakefield's Breast Center for the biopsy. My equivalent person at Tufts told me I was going to Melrose Wakefield and did NOT tell me I was going to a facility off the main hospital campus (in fact a facility in a neighboring bloody town). This is why they instructed me to think of things from the patient's POV. Did anyone tell them that?
Anyway, I have dangled my boob through a hole, had it squeezed and punctured and irradiated, and now have a bra holding a bag of frozen veggies to my much abused breast. I am going to lie down for awhile, wearing a bra in bed. Living in the future is amazing.
