After those initial findings in the pancreas MRI, my boob doc immediately scheduled me for a breast MRI.

Let me just say this. A breast MRI is not what I expected. I have had PLENTY of MRIs in my life, and never have I been faced down for a test. Also you have two holes below your chest, which calls for waggling your tits into. They just hang out there looking at the floor of the machine.

The scans were done and aside of the noisy machine and misaligned headphones, it went well.

The results though told a different story.

IMPRESSION:
Multiple enhancing masses are present in a ductal distribution in the left breast and are suspicious of malignancy. While MRI directed ultrasound could be performed, given the patient’s extremely dense breast tissue two area MRI guided biopsy of the most suspicious enhancement anteriorly and posteriorly in the left breast should be performed in the absence of clinical contraindication.
BI-RADS Category 4C:
Suspicious for Malignancy

Well fuck.

Boob doc was on it. She got me in for this biopsy within a few days. I had to tell my wife the results and the game plan. I then had to call friends and tell them what was going on, before I made this kind of news public. I would have made more phone calls, but I was in the midst of a huge project at work, which demanded a lot of time and detailed work. My days and evening were getting chewed up, to the point that I only was able to tell a handful of friends.

So if you’re just hearing about this now, I’m sorry it happened in this manner.
