Lipoma removal from breast

[Aromig]

My partner had the same reaction to general anesthesia after her hysterectomy. It's not inspiring me to want to try it.

My biopsy was done at The Rose, which was started specifically to provide affordable screenings for women.

I've heard wonderful things about The Rose. Several friends of mine do fundraising for The Rose -- "Jump for the Rose" and the friend that runs "Jump for the Rose" is quite inspirational (and was helped at the Rose). I donate every year to their fundraiser (I haven't jumped in it yet) so its awesome to its work!

I hope the surgery goes better than the biopsy. Good luck!

The people there are fantastic. Very kind and understanding. It's also nice that after a diagnostic mammo and/or ultrasound The radiologist comes in right then to give you the results and answer any questions you have so you don't have to wait and stress.

They also have a mobile clinic and come to our office every year for preventative mammos, which is how I started with them.

I'll be going back to them in 6 months so they can oogle the other lipoma ☺

Interesting. I know that lipomas are very common in dogs, at least certain breeds. Our first Boston Terrier had several, and a couple of them became large enough that the vet recommended removing them, and we did. Did not really know that they could occur in humans, but I guess you learn something new every day.

I actually don't mind general anesthesia. Have had it several times over the years for various surgeries, and I've never had a problem. I actually prefer being knocked out because I am a wimp and don't really want to be conscious and hear them talking about what they're doing to my body.

Good luck, thekarens!
