So it all began because I had an itch. We had just been fishing with the family for mothers day on that previous Sunday, & I happen to have reeled in the biggest catch of the day ( moms was about 33 1/2 give or take but only 13 lbs. )and my biggest fish ever.
A 33 1/4 in. 15 lb. Striper! So i used every muscle in my upper body to get that baby in the boat.
It was Monday night and I was changing for bed and had an itch. When I scratched the area I thought it felt odd. So having done breast exams on myself many times before I lifted my arm and felt again. Yup I felt something....."Joe come here, do you feel something there?"
"Oh yea feels like a pulled muscle? Probably from reeling in that huge fish yesterday!" "If it doesn't go away tomorrow maybe call the Dr."
So it didn't & so I did. I first call my GP he gave me an appointment for Wednesday am. Then I got in touch with my OB/GYN they got me in on Tuesday afternoon for a quick breast exam.
Went in on Tuesday saw the Nurse practitioner. She feels it! and her theory "oh it feels like a cyst." " Just in case we're going to have it checked out and add an ultra sound for good measure."
Now I'm a bit nervous but not bad. But decide lets set this appointment up before I even leave the parking lot.
I go in and if anyone has ever been its not the most comfortable place to be, lots of women, old, young, all ages and races and no one looking happy. But me?
I was bidding on an item on ebay on my Bberry and thought for sure i was going to win. (yes while waiting for the test)
they take me in and of course the lump i is in to high a place to get an easy picture. So 20 pictures later they take me into the ultra sound. (that's easy). But now they want more pictures, back into the breast grip. Now I have been there for 2 and a half hours.
My mind is saying "hum this is odd" I've seen at least 10 other women come and go.
The nurse" Ms. Peditto, please get dressed and Dr.Murphy would like to see you in his office"
My mind " Hum that doesn't sound good"
He was pretty straight forward, no messing around. " this lump here is the lump you feel, behind it are more calcification's." "these are a concern" You need to have a biopsy immediately." Can't really tell you what else he said at that point it all became a fog.
Oh no I did ask if he was sure it was not an in grown hair? and did he think i had cancer." he could not be definitive, but he was concerned"
Where is the lump? If you put you hand on your heart like saying the pledge of allegiance but on the right breast the lump is at the middle of your fingers.
