Had both biopsies done today. Thank you all for being so wonderful and supportive.

The ultrasound guided one was easier but neither was very bad.

Got a good look at the calcifications and I could see why the radiologist was concerned.

Keep notes, keep talking to everyone who you're with in medical places, asking questions; and definitely know exactly what the treatment plan is, and why and who, and if they can recommend help for people who need emotional, logistical and practical support.

Do nice things for yourself as these things go forward. We're here to talk to.

I hope you can find some comfort and distraction with your art. You are such a wonderful artist. Your last cat portrait you did for your friend was amazing. Hugs and support to you. DM anytime you get anxious 💕❤️💕

Anywhere near as painful as I worried it would be.

The worst part was the stereotoptic mostly because they had to squish me so hard for quite awhile there. I thought I was gonna pop like a balloon, LOL!
