Hi everyone. I really need some prayers and positive thoughts sent my way. I found a lump in my right breast last night and I'm very scared.Since my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 63, I didn't want to take any chances so I made a doctor's appointment today. I went this afternoon and was only able to see a physicians assistant. She was very nice and very informative about breast cancer. My current doctor is on maturnity leave.
She confirmed that she did feel a lump in right breast and then referred me to radiology for a mammogram within 7 days. I go on March 30th at 9:30am. I won't know the results for at least 4 days and since this is a Tues. I'll have to wait until Mon. April 5th.She also said that she'll be referring me to a surgeon to see what he/she will want to do about the lump. This will happen no matter if it turns out positive or negative. I may also need to have an ultrasound done and if so she'll refer me for this too. She said it may be a benign cyst and this is what I'm hoping for too.
I haven't told any co-workers or family members yet but I'll most likely tell my parents by this weekend. I don't want to upset anyone. I'm trying to stay positive about the outcome and to stay preoccupied so I won't worry too much. Please send some positive vibes and prayers my way. Thanks in advance.
Tracey
