Doctor Visit

Mary Jo's doctor appointment was rescheduled and she was seen by Dr Jacqueline Luong yesterday in her Edina office.  Just prior to the morning office visit, Mary Jo had a ultrasound procedure performed of her left breast at the Woman's Imaging Center just down the hall.  The ultrasound tested negative for fluid filled void confirming Dr Luong's assessment that this is an infection with swollen tissues, not cancer.  Dr Luong is pleased that the antibiotics appear to be clearing up the infection because Mary Jo's symptoms are lessening each day on the antibiotics.  Dr Luong cautioned Mary Jo that if the infection returned or worsened, she may need to be hospitalized because the use of a stronger, iv only antibiotic would be the next step and/or possible surgery to remove the left side implant.  We are praying that the infection clears up soon on the prescribed meds and does not return.  Mary Jo's is scheduled for a follow up visit by Dr Luong next week.
