I was very hesitant to make and keep this appointment. The staff had called me multiple times about my test results, but I just didn't want to deal with the prospect of a biopsy. The week after my dense breast ultrasound, I broke my foot and ankle after falling from a ladder. Medical expenses were piling up quickly, and my co-pay for this appointment was a few hundred dollars, which we were struggling to gather. So, I wasn't in the right mindset for this at all!
Despite my reluctance, I had some great conversations with the staff, who tried to convince me to come in. Two women said, "Dawn, we're the same age, and we understand! But please let Dr. Hendricks check you out; you'll love him; he's the best." Eventually, Melissa and another wonderful lady with a British accent (I apologize for not remembering her name) persuaded me to go.
After many tears and prayers, I made the appointment. I met Mackenzie and another friendly ultrasound technician who spoke with me and eased my mind while we waited for the angel, Dr. Hendricks, to enter the room. When he came in, he was all smiles, warm, and genuinely concerned about my worries. That was so refreshing!
During my exam, we discovered two masses; one was clearly a cyst, but the other was questionable. He attempted to biopsy the questionable mass, but it vanished right before our eyes as he diligently searched for it. We witnessed a miracle that day. He was honest and kind enough to inform me that, in good faith, he wouldn't charge me for the visit since there was nothing to send to pathology. My visit and co-pay were refunded to me! He also scheduled a follow-up ultrasound in three weeks to double-check, again at no cost.
The miracle continues: I do not have breast cancer! As a praying woman, I truly believe that Dr. Hendricks was the answer to my prayers. The honesty, compassion, and concern he showed me will be forever remembered. For the past four months, I have been using RSO oil as a medical marijuana patient since I was initially told I might have breast cancer. Natural remedies, along with meditation and daily prayer, have been essential for me. Best wishes to all of you! read more
