Let down by man-boobs

[den]

9.30am Tomorrow I have to go for a mamogram, ultrasound and biopsy. Dr Nelson-Marshall (Certified Diving Medical Examiner and member of the Australasian Aeronautical Medical Association) has pre-booked a surgeon just in case. I see her again on Thursday to look at the films. She felt my neck and armpits but declared that I didn't have any glands. She was having a little trouble with Word, and has hitting the space bar to get the curser accross the page.

"Hit the tab key," I said.

She looked at me in suprise, then looked at the keyboard. "This one?"

"Yep"

She hit the key and the curser jumped to the right place on the page. "I never knew that!" she said happily. I also showed her how to set tab marks and how to move them.

I've been let down by my manboobs.

(Kato: I won't be at work tomorrow)

What what what???

Why do I feel like theres a piece of the story missing??

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I haven't mentioned anything before.

I hope the films are cartoons.

if you're sick and keeping this from me, I shall be most peeved.. in fact I'll be the peevest I've been in the 20 plus years we've known each other.

Dont you dare be ill.

The doctor said "It doesn't feel like anything..." so she's sending me for tests as a precaution. There is something there but it's not a lump as such.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

right, Mammogram and ultrasound done, biopsy in an hour. The radiologist says it's nothing to be worried about, but they still need a sample to see what is going on in there. More details later, but I thought you should know first.

Mammograms. Ow.

[hedgegoth.livejournal.com]

Damn. My best thoughts bro.

[janetmiles.livejournal.com]

Crap. Good thoughts for a negative outcome. I mean, a good outcome where the test results are negative. You know.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

thanks

Yeah, folks forget us blokes got moobs too. I know a couple guys, one a former room mate who had the surgery and all went well.

Bonne Chance Batty and please do keep us in the loop.

Oooh, the slammogram. :P Good luck.

You know, if this kind of thing keeps happening to my friends, I'm going to have to start alloting my worrying in fifteen-minutes increments.

Here's to a firm squeeze and a clean film.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I'll be right. The Doc said it didn't *feel* like cancer, but she wanted the squeeze, squeak and poke just to make sure.

[beki.livejournal.com]

I hope things go well. Personal experience says that getting squished isn't fun. Look on the bright side, at least you don't have to get a pap smear :)

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

YES! No pap smears!

[azhdragon.livejournal.com]

instead you get the joy of the prostate exam.

{fx: snaps a pair of latex gloves, just to see you jump)

seriously, I hope things go well for you.

mammograms are no fun, and I'm looking forward to not needing one ever again.

[guruwench.livejournal.com]

Best of luck, mate - and that reminds me, I'm due for my squeeze later this year.

thanks

Argh! :(
Best of luck!

[sinboy.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

thanks.

[fenris-lorsrai.livejournal.com]

On bright side, at least your doctor recognized you should be concerned and have it checked out and didn't dismiss it out of hand.

Good luck.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

I got the right doctor. The others are too busy writing prescriptions to do an examination.

[marmoe.livejournal.com]

Yikes. I hope it will turn out to be much ado about nothing. Yay for good doctors.

Hang in there, all fingers crossed. *hug*

[http://users.livejournal.com/crossfire_/]

I take it you found a lump?

I hope all turns out okay.

[dewhitton.livejournal.com]

A sort of lump. I was having a good soap-down in the shower and I thought "Hang on... that feels weird." Tests are a precaution.
