OK, Last month I found a lump.....not in my breast tissue but where my collar bone and neck meet, I noticed it because my neck was no longer what I perceived as symmetrical.....there is this pliable mass the size of a walnut....I finally gave into my Husbands threats and saw the Doctor on Wednesday........today I had a cat scan......I should get the results early next week.......The Doctor and I are not worried, Hubby is freaked!
I had to get the cat scan with iodine contrast.........weird stuff that stuff is.....you can feel in passing through veins, you get a metallic taste in your mouth and get the feeling you just piddled in your pants! Ahhhhh brings back memories of the freedom to piddle where you stood! LOL
BUT.......I ask you? What is up with that skinny little table they put you on for the test........no place to put you arms which has been stuck 3 times in order to get an IV started.......so you hold them in an awkward position up over our abdomen........counting to the moment until you can lay them on top of you........why not make the table a lil wider to accommodate laying your arms comfortably at your side?Just where is that damn suggestion box anyway??? LOL
Oh another joy is scheduled for next month.......mammogram...the equivalent of placing your breast in a window sill and then having the worlds strongest man slam it shut with all their might to only have the Technician tell you hold your breath .....like with all that pain I can actually breath! And then tell you stand still.........like just where do they think I am going with my breast smashed under glass???
I'll take bend over and cough ANYDAY!!!! lol lol lol

I will keep u in my prayers ......as for the table i too want that answer lord they expect u to lie there for what seems like hours you would think the least they could do is widen the damn table. And as for the mammogram i do know this it had to be invented by a man.....lol
Okay, I'll be thinking about you too and hoping all is well! You have the right attitude - no reason to worry until there's a reason to worry. :)
Have a good weekend,

I'm sure everything will turn out good with the lump. :)
Ok..now....don't hold it against me...but I used to be one of the technicians that took a hold of your 'boobies' and flattened them. Yes, I spent years smashing breasts and no one liking me. :) I have mine scheduled for May. Good Luck!!

I am a male and had the "pleasure" of having a mammogram last summer. You think it's bad for you as a woman? Just add to your experience of being shuttled in and out of the back door like a dirty little secret so that none of the other female patients could see that a man was treading on "sacred" ground, LOL.
