Core Biopsy & Results …

January 13, 2006

The CORE biopsy was done on Monday, January 9th & the worst part was when the drugs wore off.  I remember trying to walk from the car into my condo.  While walking down the sidewalk, the pain was almost unbearable.  I told Oneida if I had known it would be this bad, I would have never agreed to do this.  It was quite difficult walking up the 18 steps to my condo.  I shedd a few tears that night too.  Pain, pain & more pain …

Waiting again for results was nerve wracking.  For 4 days, we waited for the phone to ring.  Finally, Friday evening, January 13, 2006, around 5 p.m., Dr. Frassica called to tell me he was very sorry & the CORE biopsy revealed the tumor was malignant.  He said it was a sarcoma & very rare but they had not yet determined the type.  It had qualities of several different types of sarcomas & was large.

I will never forget that night; it’s like it happened yesterday.  I NOW KNEW I HAD A CANCEROUS TUMOR IN MY LEG.  Not exactly the news I wanted to hear, although I was not surprised.  My first question was … so what’s next?
