The fabulously reputed breast specialist...

I was told by more than one person what a great reputation the specialist I was going in to see had...she was associated with Moffit and USF, two great research organizations and highly regarded...thru my pain, my husband & I were just so dang happy to finally be seeing someone who could give me answers and fix me...I liked her on impact cuz she seemed so genuinely concerned with making me better...the first question I had...should I be concerned about cancer considering my family history...'doesn't walk like cancer, doesn't talk like cancer, you have nothing to worry about'....whew, now two doctors have decided it was only a cyst and of course this doctor had the labs they ran the day before so I sighed a big sigh of relief and we started brainstorming on what was going on in my breast...I explained to her that it had refilled, which was quite more than apparent by looking at the huge watermelon on my left side of my chest...she decided that we should continue the aspiration process and explained that sometimes cysts had to be drained several times to get them to collapse upon themselves and go away...here we go again, more needles draining...I think it was about 130ccs she took out that day and told me to come back in two days...off again we went, both my husband and I at least relatively sure the end of this misery for both of us was in sight...that night it filled back up...
