The good news is that he thought I was quite healthy. (I have been part of an exercise group since the last part of October and the weight loss was a plus.) He also noticed the cyst on my back – been there for years. Before I was married I had had this, but it became infected and I had it lanced at the clinic; however, it eventually returned, and for it to be taken care of, it would need to be excised. I had tried for years to get a medical person to say that something needed to be done about that cyst, but no one seemed to think it needed attention. Dr. Bang put that on his “To Do” list.
He also saw a spot on my arm, one I have watched for years, lest it change and give me concern. He decided that needed to be excised as well, and he added that to his list. As for the suspicious lumps, Dr. Bang wants them biopsied. His office will schedule that for me. The two on the left will be done, using ultrasound to guide the doctor to the areas he needed to get samples from. The right side will have to have an ultrasound first, to see if the small masses seen by the MRI can be seen via another mode of radiology. If so, then those two would also be done then.
Dr. Bang will send me a summary of today's visit.
