The Story Part 1-- the Dorky Radiology

I need to put this story into small parts or it will be the longest post every and you won't read it.....
The Story:
For those of you who don't know the story behind my cancer, I'll share. In Oct a year ago, I went to the Dr. for my annual mammogram. It came back with no problems and no cancer. I went back the next month, because my lymph nodes were hurting. They were pushing on my muscles in my underarms to the point my arm would go numb. I told the Dr., that there was something not right. I couldn't really explain it... I just knew there was something wrong. She sent me to get an ultra sound.
So in November 2009 I went in for an ultra sound. It was pretty routine, until the dude who read it come in. He basically said -while I'm laying on the table mind you- that there was nothing wrong. He said with attitude, "We could always do an MRI, but then we might find something ha ha ha." I said in response, "Are you kidding me. You're talking to a person who's had cancer before. Who are you, some kind of idiot??" I never heard from him or the hospital again. NO bill, NO record (until later).......
Two month later, lymph nodes still hurting, went into the Dr, again.... told her the story (she was very upset) and she look it up. She couldn't find it, and ordered the MRI. This would be March 2010.... to be continued........
