Finally, the day of the appointment -- familiar basement radiology department
The procedure itself is relatively painless. During the diagnostic I was told that there are two dark masses --- left breast (known) and lymph nodes (arm pit) and, as predicted, I would need a biopsy... (was telling them all along)
The famous health care protocol kicks in. I can't just schedule a biopsy, as now I have to have a separate appointment with breast specialist within the Lahey clinic, who would then schedule the actual biopsy. There is no other way according to Lahey Clinic. And, as it is an appointment, there is another week worth of waiting.
At least, here I got lucky -- there was a cancelation that same day 11/18 (4 hours later)
The appointment was a waste of time -- took the vitals, looked at the ultrasound results -- didn't say anything new -- half a day later, I finally got the biopsy scheduled to the next available on 11/29.
