I finally spoke to the nurse practitioner. The biopsy shows no cancer, yay! However, there are "concerning atypical cells", which means I have won a consultation with a breast cancer specialist to discuss if I need more tests, and to discuss my "ongoing breast health plan". The first appointment is virtual and is happening on Dec. 17th.
I'm pretty sure this means that menopausal HRT is no longer an option for me. Dammit. I really don't want to go back to hot flashes, mood swings, and shitty (shittier than usual, I mean) sleep. Revisiting all those things since the second mammogram has reminded me how awful all of that is.

Coveting! Blackwood Castle, who makes pretty pretty things, have launched a super-cute short cloak! With a nice hood, buttons, and pockets, even. However there is no way I am going to pay $125 for an unlined fleece cloak, no matter how cute it is. Yes, photos have been saved and sent to the Madwoman in the Attic, and I'm going to see how much wine velvet is in the stash. There should be at least 8 yards hiding in the basement; then I just have to decide on the lining fabric. Which, to be honest, the Madwoman probably has in *her* stash.
... ooooh, I could use my nice pewter Vlad Tzpesh buttons for that.

I am very glad there's no cancer. I hope the rest of this ends up being minor and easy to deal with.

And yes, a very pretty cloak, but I agree with you that it is over-priced & should have been lined.
