Battery of Tests

I have begun a battery of tests preparatory to my next appointment with Dr. Sarid on January 13. Yesterday I had the dreaded mammogram, which was particularly painful on my afflicted, still-swollen left breast. I also had an ultra-sound, the test which had confirmed the presence of cancer only eight months and a lifetime ago. I’ve decided to throw in a cardiologist and a dermatologist in addition to all the other tests I’m doing for a full and comprehensive inspection of all my body parts. Because Tomoxifen can cause cataracts, I’ve also checked my eyes and happily, they are in good condition, apart from a few annoying floaters that have been around for a while.
