Lump 2

Told eldest sister. Told a friend at work.
No other announcements made.
Taking it one day at a time.
Went to the doctor's for ultra sound test and to collect the full report.
My breasts are categorised as dense so taking the xrays (mammogram) did not do the job.
An ultra sound would give a better picture
The ultrasound sound showed that there were 3 possible cysts and 1 fibroad.
Total now seen = 4.
Definitely more than the one I thought was there or the two that the doctor had felt during the test.
Need to see a specialist next to determine next step.
Aspiration? Biopsy?
We now know that there's something there but we dont know if they are good or bad. Benign or malignant.
The scary part isnt over.
Maybe it hasnt even started. (Hope not!)
I am hopeful.
Mentally I am psyching myself.
I know that when a challenge comes. it is always followed by an opportunity.
An appointment with the breast specialist has been made.
