Well then…

You see, the problem is I am a closet hypochondriac. Here’s a great example. I was 14 weeks pregnant with my first son and did not know becuase I had convinced myself I had Colon Cancer. Yea. (Actually, the symptoms are pretty similar. Kinda) So, when something goes wrong in my body, I try and ignore it in hopes that I am imagining it and it will go away.

This seldom works. Luckily, My doctor is an awesome guy who is more than willing to deal with my issues. Except this time my issues were not in my head. He found the lump in my breast in under two seconds - which is pretty good seeing as his search area was a full sized C cup and I had neglected to get a grid pattern tattooed on beforhand.

He is confidant that it is a cyst becuase my breast’s are fiborocystic (sp?) in the first place, but he is not willing to take the chance that it is just a cyst and has made an appointment for me to have an ultrasound done on my breast. The appointment is 10:15, Valentines Day.

I think it is rather odd that my two appointments - both concerning cancer- bracket the anniversary of my mothers death from cancer.

I am going to try and convince the ultrasound technition to print out a picture of my boob baby for me to take home. The hubs thinks it is unlikely she will do it, but I figure it can’t hurt to try.

What do you think of the name Bekah?

  5. Every time I have a mamogram, they have to bring me back for an ultrasound. You would think they would skip the mamo altogether, since they know they are going to call me back to ultra sound the left side of the left breast. Yup, cystic breasts here also.

    Should be interesting this year with the new girls!

    Glad things are looking up! Hugs!!

  6. I, too, went for a mammogram and sonogram today. I have cyst issues as well, and one of them had grown a lot larger so quickly that I had it checked again. Still a just cyst. I’m sure yours is just a cyst too. I’ll be sending positive thoughts your way.

  7. The last thing you need is for me to say anything about being hyper vigilant about getting routine mammograms due to having a family history of cancer because I’m always on a cancer soapbox…so I’m not going to do that. I completely understand why you would feel like a hypochondriac…I am one too everytime I feel a lump in my belly after having ovarian cancer.

    I hope everything goes just fine. I think you should insist on getting pictures!!!

  8. Since you’re already fibrocystic, we will just hold good thoughts that is all that it is. Good for you for getting it checked out.

  15. I like Bekah but also how about “Titlet” ?
    I’ll be thinking all kinds of positive things for you ,kay?

    You forgot to tell us the most important parts!
    1. Were his hands warm?
    2. Did he ‘feel’ you thoroughly?
    3. Did he add the extra special ‘nip tweak’?
