gramoffour,
My lump appeared after my mammo and physical exam by my gyno. I'm sure it wasnt there before the mammo. At first I thought the mammo had caused it by bruising or whatever. when I called the tech to ask about it they immediately scheduled me for a sonogram and then a biopsy. The lump was big, about the size of a walnut. I'm sure the doctor (and myself) would have felt it in the exam, which was right before the mammo. go figure!!

Gramoffour,
My lump absolutely appeared out of nowhere. I was really good about doing self-breast exams after every period and I have very small breasts and have always been on the dense/lumpy side. This is embarrassing but I'll tell you anyway: It was after sex that I found it! I was laying in bed and my breast was itching deep inside. I was scratching hard when I noticed it and my heart sank! I asked my BF if he had felt it and he said YES but wanted to wait a few minutes before bringing it up! I waited for 2 cycles to see if it changed in size. It did but I went to the doctor anyway. Hindsight is truly 20/20 isn't it? I should have RUN to the doctor, maybe it wouldn't have made it to one of my lymph nodes...?http://www.tnbcfoundation.org/tnbc/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif Anyway, had a mammo then they took me directly to the ultrasound room and the rest is history... Take care, Vicki |
