Fwd: New here with a question

February 3, 2006

I am also from NC...moved here in Dec. 2004 from Delaware and I am a 3 yr survivor of breast cancer... Betsy (NC) Note: forwarded message attached.

Hi,

I am new here, so let me introduce myself to ya'll...lol.

I am in NC and am a RN, but I am a Neuro ICU RN. I have some

questions, and know that ya'll will be able to answer me since

you have been diagnosed with Breast Ca already. To start, did any of

you have breast tenderness and then found a lump?

About a week before my last period I had significant breast tenderness

that I had never experienced before. I really didn't think much about

it and just chalkied it up to hormonal changes. Well, after my period

was over and I did my monthly breast exam, I actually could feel a

lump where I had never felt one before. I called my Doc, and do have

an appt in 2 days. I then noticed that the tenderness decreased, but

now I am one week away from starting my period again and the

tenderness has once again increased. Any similiarites to anything

ya'll have experienced? Thanks for your input ahead of time.

Chris
