Three Ultrasounds Lined Up
Aug. 3rd, 2025 02:06 amI have three ultrasounds scheduled for:
Pelvic - August 14, 2025
Suspected ovarian cyst(s) since I have PCOS:
Breast -September 30, 2025 August 19, 2025
"The 6 mm round asymmetry in the right breast appears indeterminate."
My annual mammogram revealed an abnormality. Diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound have been ordered. Nothing says I have shitty medical insurance (Kaiser) like scheduling important tests that could reveal a cancerous growth almost two months out (working on getting a sooner appointment). I wouldn't be so freaked out if it weren't for the pain in the right breast...
Edited to add: I finally got an earlier appointment in August, I just had to do all the leg work by calling another Kaiser region and have to drive 30 miles out, lol. The diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound should've been scheduled THIS week, but I'll take what I can get. Remember folks "soCiALIZed hEaLThCarE SuCKs," because the wait times...oh wait...
Liver - October 21, 2025
Follow-up Fibroscan
Since I have MASLD, diet and weight loss should help remove the excess fat accumulation in the liver. Since I lost almost 80 lbs we are expecting better numbers. Last September, I was showing grade 3 fat accumulation. There are only three grades, lol. At least I was F0/F1, which means there is no to very little scarring in my liver. F4 is end-stage/cirrhosis.
Trying to keep busy/forget about this shit, it's all driving me crazy.
Pelvic - August 14, 2025
Suspected ovarian cyst(s) since I have PCOS:
- Very painful periods. Pain radiates to the lower back area.
- Spotting.
- Crazy hormonal food cravings.
- Passing huge clots.
- Urge to pee, but very little comes out.
Breast -
