Well....there are good news and bad news.
Good news: mammograms do not hurt...at all...and I am a busty lady and the squishing didn't hurt one little bit. The staff is caring and thoughtful.
The bad news: they found something, as I suspected. The ultrasound revealed a 1 inch diameter nodule and the radiologist scheduled me for a biopsy.
I am going in an hour for the biopsy.
It is a scary thought. My most sensitive area will be poked. At this point, I don't care much about the poking...I just hope that whatever they find will be nothing.
In other news...I started a blog to document my workouts. Come on over to Chubbette to read all about it :). (Yes....I am trying to keep my mind away from my b00bs and its troubles).
Hi Isela,
I'm so sorry to hear this. Hopefully the nodule will turn out to be just a benign lump. In the odd chance that it isn't, at least it was caught early, so it can be treated early too.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry, but very glad that it's been found in time. Hopefully, it will be nothing but a story and a reason to get some yarn.

With this past month and my own health scare I bet I can guess some of the feelings you are going through. You are in my thoughts, and I'm glad you know your body well enough to know you needed to get help and checked out when you did. I'll be praying with and for you, and I miss seeing your face. Hugs Isela, we love you. (if it helps any, I'm heading back to the doctor today to get re-sewn back up.... ewww it's as bad as it sounds)

Hopefully the biopsy turns up nothing of concern. Sadly, those of us with big boobs tend to end up with extra things in there (because we need more stuff up top, you know).
My thoughts are with you. Let us know how your recovery goes.

I know there are many people praying for you right now (me included) and I KNOW the tremendous power of prayer! Do not underestimate it's power! I pray God's Holy Angels surround you today and bring peace upon you while you go through this very scary time!
