What it's not...

..but what is it?

Well, lump ISN'T a cyst.

But we don't know what it IS.

I was fine until the doc got her tape measure out and started mapping lump's dimensions..then I burst into tears. I think it was because up until then I had thought that it was all a figment of my imagination, and seeing her manipulate it made it real somehow.

The official opinion so far is that I have a 4cm by 4cm mass in my left breast.

She was very gentle, and said that we should get a diagnostic mammogram and an ultrasound done. I'm scheduled to get those done at 0750 tomorrow morning.

I'll keep you posted.

I'm sure I will be fine too, no matter what the diagnosis.

NickyG, thank you SO much. It's heartwarming to know that people still give a hoot about each other.
