The history

I guess I should start at the beginning of this ordeal and go forward from there. Back in August of '05 or so, Jenn felt a lump in her breast and it concerned her. She has a history of breast cancer in the family as her Grandmother and Aunt have both had it. Her Aunt just recently, 2 years ago. She felt she needed to get it checked out. She made appointment and saw the doctor. In the end it was determined that she drank way too much caffiene and it was probably just a calcification and nothing to worry about. Just cut back on the caffiene consumption. As time progressed, the lump became bigger, even with the lack of caffiene.

So, on April 17th, she went in again to have it checked out. This time there was a little more concern. Her doctor suggested that she get an Ultrasound on the lump and see if it showed any insight. After getting the results, it was too inconclusive and it was reccommended to get a Mammogram.

April 18th, after those results were in, again it was too inconclusive and it was decided she needed to have a biopsy. The biopsy was taken on Tuesday, April 25th. We were told that we would get the results on Friday the 28th.
