2:00 pm the call finally came. I about jumped out of my skin, braced myself and grabbed my phone. The doctor lead with... "LaJeanna, I have good news for you!". A lot is a blur after "benign". I didn't realize how tightly I was wound until I heard those words. I broke down. I broke down hard. In fact, I went into the ugly cry.
I struggled with letting all of you in on this Telenovela again but after all the calls and messages of prayers, love and support I am glad I did. I felt it. I appreciated it. I needed it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

One Bad Telenovela
I found a hard lump laying by the pool in Vegas on the 364th day of year three. Yep, that's right, one day shy of celebrating four years cancer free. Shit, there goes my survivor gift from Mr. Eckhoff, my party and more importantly....my sanity.
I didn't know what to do at first. I didn't want to worry anyone, not even Mr. Eckhoff and visited with two Doctors in DL by myself. At first I really didn't want to blog about it because to me it reads like a bad soap opera. It's all so full of unnecessary drama, an overused plot line and even the same villain over and over- Cancer. And then there's me, the STAR of this freak show, stuck in a role I just can't break out of.
After a scolding from my friend, I finally told Mr. Eckhoff and off we went back to Mayo. After an ultrasound, a mammogram and a visit with my doctor, we moved on to a biopsy. This was Friday.
I'm still waiting on my results.
I'm ok, at least I think I am ok. I was worried I wasn't for a minute when this weekend I ordered a new bed online. I was sore from my biopsy and thought "If I get sick or need another surgery I can't lay in this uncomfortable bed. I need a new bed!". My friend assured me this was not THAT irrational, but if I order a side by side Polaris or $1,500 stiletto heels she would need to intervene. We shall see....
