Doctors

I've told a few people about this but not all, but since its getting to the tail end, its easier for me to just write it here then to tell the story multiple time and answer a multitude of questions.

At the beginning of this summer I started to show some of the signs of breast cancer, I went to the gynecologist and then a breast specialist. Neither of the two could find lumps, but they couldn't say what was wrong with me either. The breast specialist said that either my boobs were just messed up or that I might have pagets disease. Its a type of breast cancer, but the likelihood of me having it would be extremely rare (I would be the youngest person recorded to have it).

Yesterday I went to the radiologist and had a ultrasound on my boobs. A nodule was found and the doctor believes it is a fibroadenoma. On Monday i am going to a have a biopsy done and a possible mammogram. We will know the results then. If it is a fibro.. then it is noncancerous and can just sit and chill in there or I can have it removed if it is large enough or if I just want too. It does mean that I will have to go in for check ups fairly regularly because it means i am even more susceptible to breast cancer.

Once i know what it is for sure, i'll let everyone know. As of now I'm not too worried, but I would appreciate any and all kind thoughts or prayers.
