Saw the breast surgeon..............

[Guest guest]

and inquired about a small lump in the " good " breast. My feeling is

that it is one that I have been monitoring for about 3 or 4 years.

That breast had an ultrasound when the lump did not show up on mammo

all those years ago. Now if they had only done an ultrasound on the

right one may have caught the cancer sooner! Any way I figured it had

shifted due to a small implant put in to achieve symmetry. Soooooo

the surgeon did a very thorough exam found it and marked it in my

records. His theory is quite interesring. He feels it is a

fibrocystic change that is horomonely induced. Yeah, I remember

those, before menopause and they are quite painful, which this is not.

I told him that I don't think I have the hormones to explain such a

thing!!!!!! Duh, he is the top breast surgeon in the region, he does

clinical trials. Hey, maybe he neglected to look at my age and I look

younger than I am!!!!!

PS I talked him into prescribing a sleeve as a " preventative " . I was

fitted, today and will be using it when I am involved in " repetative

motion " type stuff. Probably should have been using it when I was

painting the ceiling and walls of the bedroom.
