Lump in breast??
Ten years ago I discovered a lump in my left breast. After many sleepless nights, lots of tears, and many, many tests, it turned out to be a benign cyst. I was 31 at the time. Since then, I have yearly mammograms. Every year, I dread going. Every year, so far, I’ve been lucky. On Monday I had my mammogram, which had been rescheduled from 2 weeks ago. I canceled my original appointment because I was so afraid that they’d find something. I always thought it was foolish when women would be afraid to go because of fear of what would be found, and then I did it myself. I just kept feeling like something was going to be wrong this time. After the test, they told me everything looked good, and I was able to “breathe” again-I was so relieved that my feelings were wrong! Well, I just got a phone call from the hospital saying they found a lump and I need more tests. My grandmother died of breast cancer. Please, I need some encouraging words from strong women right now-I’m so scared. Thanks so mu
