Maggie's Cancer -Chapter 3- Surgery


Morning. Buddy had an overnight play date with Sadie. First we went to the Tucson Breast Center. Two lady radiologists run this clinic that does all sorts of breast diagnostics.  I had an ultrasound tech named Jessica and Dr. Fitzgerald.
Jessica locates the cancer with ultrasound. After getting it pinpointed and taking some still films, Dr. Fitzgerald gave me a local anesthetic and then inserted a wire, all the time watching the ultrasound, until it reaches and locates the tumor. Jessica then coiled up the protruding wire and did a couple of mammography pictures.

Then off we were to UMC's "ambulatory" surgery center.
