And today my doctor gave me the biopsy results.
BENIGN!!!
precancerous
A Cut Above...
So… this evening I had another biopsy performed… the last was 6 months ago and the three tissue samples were benign. This even was the 6 month follow up; only two samples of tissue this time. If the results are benign again, then I may not have to go through this again.
Crossing fingers… I’ll get the results next year.
An Apple a Day my Ass!
So, I’m in cab heading home… I forgot the type of appointment I had scheduled with doctor this evening. Well, apparently it was for a biopsy. I’ll know in few weeks if there anything to worry about.
Also, before the procedure, I weighed myself… 174 lbs!!! Argh!!! Now I’ve got 16 lbs to lose. I’ve gained 6 lbs since the beginning of April. So not happy right now.
Anywhoooo! I’m alive… just annoyed… I’ll get over it. I can’t go to the gym for about week. #boooo!
Things Just Ain't the Same...
Today… I had an interview… First time I have ever been in group interviews (four candidates, including myself, were interviewed together) We sat in a circle with four of the staff members. It was interesting… Oh yeah… this is the company.
After the interview I went hurried to the doctor’s office for my appointment. They removed more precancerous tissue. Again, precancerous! Grateful that all of this is being caught now.
I also weighed myself… I have gained 2 lbs… of course I have! I have not been jogging in about 2 months. #FAIL… Hopefully, once I am employed, I will be able to join a gym and continue on with my 40 lbs by 40 yo challenge. I have another organization that wants to interview me next week.
Life is a lot different than it was over a year ago… who knows if I would have ever gotten these medical procedures done if while I was still using and abusing drugs. I certainly was not employable then. Sitting still for an interview would have been nearly impossible.
I am in a better place now… things are looking up. I start training to become a CASAC on December 5th and I see myself being employed soon.
That’s a beautiful thing!
It Could Be Worse...
My Thanksgiving will be spent recovering from an in-office procedure to remove precancerous tissue :-(
Just a little upset by this… I had completely forgotten about this appointment. It’s a good thing I found appointments list on Saturday. This means, I won’t be going to see my mother - I wanted to surprise her because I haven’t seen her in over 5 years. She doesn’t even live that far from NYC; it’s just that I was so caught up in my addiction that I never went for a visit. Gonna try and make for Christmas.
