I got home yesterday and Kris said that she'd gotten a call asking her to go in for a sonagram. I'd had a very bad day at work so I opted to go along with her though the appointment was pushing it for my schedule.
We got to the surgeons office and they told us to go to Radiology. Went there and waited for a room to open up. When all was settled, I watched as the technician found... nothing. She revealed that the recent pet scan had found... something... near the site of the left breast reconstruction. Since she couldn't find anything, she asked one of the imaging Doctors to come in and give it a try. He too could find nothing. So, they sent us down for a CT scan. Their they attached a 'target' to the area they knew they would find the problem in and zoomed in for a closeup. What is different is that they found the aberration each time with her left arm down, and the CT scan was done likewise. They marked a target on her with permanent marker and we were back to the surgeons office.
Dr. Jones (the surgeon) stated that it was something that was right on the edge of, and sort of hidden by, the tram flap. It could just be some sort of aberration introduced by the tram flap such as necrotic tissue. Based on that I asked if it could actually be a diminishing spot, ie: a bit of necrotic tissue that the body was in the process of absorbing. He agreed but his demeaner was such that I felt he didn't want to give us false hope. When he does the biopsy, later today, they will remove the original lump we found in Kris' neck, a new one they found pretty much straight down from that and just below her collar bone and the one by the tram flap.
