Those who are longtime followers or who've had the patience to read back through some of my previous posts know that I had a lump removed from my right breast early last year. It was benign, but since then I've been incredibly vigilant with my self exams. My doctors have all urged me to stay on top of them, and I've done a good job of following their orders.
About a week after the home study, I did a routine exam and discovered an area in my left breast that did not feel normal. I scheduled an appointment with my general practitioner for the following week. He agreed that it didn't feel normal - though neither of us would go as far as saying that it was definitely a lump - and gave me a prescription for a mammogram and ultrasound. Both are scheduled for tomorrow. (Let me not even get into how annoyed everyone was that the soonest the imaging center could "squeeze" me in was one month later.)
I'm not too worried, mostly because my doctor didn't seem too worried. There's certainly very, very little chance that it's cancer. But the last thing I want or need is another surgery to remove another lump. So any good thoughts you could offer up would be great. And - for the record - I'd like to come back as a man in my next life. No ovaries, no boobs . . . no problem!

Many positive benign thoughts coming your way! And I second that coming back as a man thing, they have it so easy!
You are definitely due for a break. Hope that it's nothing - fingers crossed tight.

Gah! Girl, why can't the universe give you a break?
Good luck tmr! *hugs*

Good luck!
I hope it goes well. I have a problem with my lymphnodes in my left arm pit, so I've been seeing a breast specialist. They are always concerned, but radiologist think i'm a waste of time, even though they continue to grow!
I completely understand not wanting to have a surgery to remove it.
Lets just hope it's so some stupid hormone/cycle change and it will poof! disappear on it's own!
Tons of PTs coming your way!
Sending you lots of prayers and positive thoughts. I hope it is nothing and you catch a break very soon!
Wishing you lots of luck tomorrow! ((hugs))
Katie, thinking of you. I, too, had a benign tumor removed several years ago. Scary.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. ((hugs))
Thinking of you Katie. Ugh, send this lady a break universe!
Lots and lots of positive thoughts, for sure!

I hope that all news is good on the mammogram front.
I also want you to know that after reading this post, I reached out to my OB/GYN to schedule a mammogram, so thank you for that.
Right now my theme is "all good thoughts for Katie."
I'm with you on wanting to come back as a man!! Good luck!!!
