Ok I am in a lot of pain right now. He thinks that it is a tumor and he did a core biopsy which by the way was great...yeah right! Ha! He gave me some local anesthetic and then cut my skin twice with a razor blade. Ouch! Then he got a gun type thing...yeah it was some kind of thing...which shot into my skin and got samples of tissue. He patched it up and as I was walking out of the door I look down and blood was seeping through my pants. Did I mention they were my brand new white maternity pants??? I go back in and a huge blood clot had passed through the cuts. I know that's TMI and gross but hey it happened! He said if the results are negative then they are going to do surgery as soon as they think its OK for me to be sedated with this pregnancy. If everything is good then he will wait until I have my c-section which I am crossing my fingers to happen. He said that its rare for it to be cancerous but he just wants to be on the safe side.
To make things worse we are in Texas, in July, and our air conditioner went out! Bryan is in Tig doing his internship and my mom came here with me....we had to sleep in the 100 degree heat in our house! Ugh!
Another Note:
The first Dr I went to in FF was thinking this was scar tissue or a lipoma. Dr Gayle said possibly a lipoma or tumor. The surgeon said tumor or cyst but he thinks more or less a tumor. I know everything will be fine. Either way it will be taken out. It is a pain going to the Dr and not to mention I paid out of pocket for the first one. I had an appt with Gayle on the 10th but I rescheduled for the same day I have to go back to the surgeon. That's on the 14th. I guess we will see what's in store soon!

I'm pregnant with a baby and a lump ha!
July 27th, 2006
The good news:
The baby is due March 1st. Dr Gayle said that the measurements are great. It's just 1 day off. I had an ultrasound and the heartbeat was fine and it was measuring at almost and inch. You can definitely tell its a baby right now. I could distinctly see the legs, body, head, etc. I will also have a scheduled c-section one week before my due date which is March 1st. Right now I am thinking Feb 19-22 or so. He will see when I am further along and how well I progress before he sets a date.
The bad news:
My Dr is concerned about the lump on my stomach. He does not think it is scar tissue like my M.D. assumed. Dr Gayle said that it could be a form of a tumor. He asked me if I thought it has grown. It may seem a little bit bigger....just maybe! I did let my mom look at it the other day and she thinks it has gradually grown. He sent me to a general surgeon this morning. Of course since hes a general surgeon he would happen to be in surgery when my Dr tried to contact him ha! Dr Gayle wrote him a note and the receptionist said that hes in surgery all day today and tomorrow so he would see me on Monday. I have an appt Monday at 8:30. Dr Gayle said that the surgeon may choose to do a biopsy. If the results are good then Dr Gayle will remove it whenever I have my c-section. If they are negative then the surgeon will make the call.
