More cancer?Views: 234

I recently found a lump in my “good” breast and my regular doctor checked it out. He said this is not uncommon with fibroids. He is sending me for a mammagram (I’m due for one anyway), but he added an ultrasound, too. Keep your fingers crossed for me; I was really looking forward to a worry-free summer!

My initial lump was found in my left breast, before my surgery my surgeon ordered a MRI, they found a lump in my right breast, I had to undergo a biopsy. It was benign! Woo Hoo, so there is a very good chance yours will be to. Think positive. Blessings.
