One week ago I had a core needle biopsy done on the largest lymph node in my armpit. Apparently it is about 2 centimeters in size. The results of this sample will determine the treatment plan my oncologist will recommend. They test to see what receptors my cells have - so they know what works best on stopping their growth. Of course this is the most basic explanation.
One bit of good news - the biopsy was painless during the procedure, and after applying ice every 20 minutes that same day, I had very little pain, swelling and bruising.
It has been a long week of waiting and as much as I want to know what my future holds, I also do not want to know.
