i found a lump on my breast and i'm petrified

i'm sitting at my desk waiting for my doc's office to open so i can call them. i'm totally paralyzed right now. all i can think about is "please don't let this throw off my WLS journey", which i know is just keeping me safe from thinking about anything worse.

Wow, sounds like quite a day! Glad you're getting the mammo on Friday and will hopefully have peace of mind soon.

@@jessiquoi, I know this is hard to do, but please think along the lines of, "I refuse to get upset over something I don't even know is there or important." Relax until you know otherwise. That'll help stay on an even keel in the meantime. Best wishes for Friday!

So, everything came back normal after the mammogram and ultrasound on Friday... I'm sorry I didn't take the time to update this thread, I was too busy doing the happy dance.

Except the breast center just called me, and the radiologist wants me to come back in to have more films and an ultrasound on the OTHER breast, cause it looks different than last year.

They said it's not an emergency, which is good cause I'm out of town on biz until the end of next week. I'll go on 9/3. Wow, I can't believe it's almost September already. I'm almost sleeve-ready!!!

Good. Now you can relax. I'm sure if they were concerned about the other breast, they would want you in right away.
