Subject: Update on my breast lump


>         Hi, all.  Just thought I'd give you an update on my breast lump.

that

> tissue from it to send to the lab.  She should have the results on
> Thursday.  If it's a lymph node, she'll probably just want to see me
> periodically to see how it's doing.  If it's not a lymph node or the lab
> can't tell for sure because there weren't enough cells for them to test,
> she might want to schedule me for a regular ultrasound where a trained
> technician actually reads the results, and then possibly a removal of the
> lump.  So now I wait until Thursday.  Will keep you posted.
