Waiting game
So about 10 days ago out of nowhere, my right ribs became painful when I was sleeping. The pain goes and comes back. At first I considered it as muscle pain. When it didn't get better, I called the nurse at the cancer center, and she said to stop yoga and it most probably is muscle pain and I did. But the pain didn't go away. Last night I was taking out clothes from the dryer when the pain got so bad that I needed to call my husband to help me to the couch. Today I went to a walk in clinic and the dr ordered scans. And that is how the waiting game begins...

Are you waiting on results at the clinic or are you home?
I hope you get results soon and that it’s not serious. Hope the pain subsides.
🤞

Funny you should mention yoga. I had a similar situation last summer and fall where I had increasing pain in my shoulder, armpit, and chest area that I had never experienced before and that seemed to be aggravated when I exerted myself. During the early part of this adventure I was doing yoga (which I first took up during the pandemic lockdown), which I then stopped because it was just too painful. Finally had it all checked out with an x-ray ordered by my MO which showed nothing at all. Soon thereafter the pain disappeared, and I realized that it had probably been the yoga that did the damage. But because I really like its benefits, I slowly began to do yoga again being extremely careful not to overtax that shoulder area, and so far so good. I hope that your experience proves to be as benign as mine was despite how scary it feels now.

Aram,
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing the same stress as me.
Around 40 days ago, right before my routine appt with MO, I checked my two breasts to see any concern I shall report, I found a tiny lump on my surgery side (but different place), I reported to MO and he ordered ultrasound together with mammogram. Checkup was scheduled last Monday, mammogram back clear, however ultrasound back biopsy, the lump is fine, but they found a suspicious area very close to the lump. They did not repeat ultrasound scan, and nor scan the armpit, I was astonished to get biopsy appt. I called my family doctor, will get ultrasound report this Friday, I was very scared, not sure which category it will be, I pray it is a 4a. Till now, I still did not find any abnormality in that area.
Lets pray together for the benign result.

Thank you Harley and Piper. The tests were good so hopefully it is just muscle pain.
Cathy, I am sorry you are going through this too. Did you get the results?

Cathy, such a long wait. I hope you can do some fun things to pass time.
I didn't see my doctor. But I had my Herceptin (kanjinti) infusion and the nurse checked the results for me on my portal.
1982M, thank you. It was scary...

aram,
Just found you are in Montreal, the walk in clinic offers private service? Here in bc, the scan service has long long waiting line. I got my diagnostic mammogram/ultrasound after 35 days, then biopsy after 22 days, then result after 10 days. Already 60 days passed.

Cathy, I am so happy. The waiting time socks. Now time to go and have a weekend!
Yes, in Quebec we can do private tests. I was surprised when I heard other provinces are not like that. I did my ultrasound in a private clinic, otherwise the earliest appointment for me was in June...

aram,
Someone just told me a place who offers private ultrasound/mammogram, I contacted them but they said they need my historic images for comparison, how did you make that?

In Quebec the test centers are required to give you your results and images if you ask. They burn the images on a CD. Do you still need more tests? I thought it was clear. ..

aram,
Yes, it is clear now. Just in case I need it in the future. Here I think it is the same.
Thanks.
