Awww I hate lumps! Won't even eat cream of wheat anymore. So sorry you have to go thru this. LOL "off with their heads" I hope the girls are behaving and this is a benign bump in the road. Will be thinking of you and kudos for being so proactive!

Becky,
You're always such a rock for everyone on the board and we all owe you so much. I'm hoping your doctor is right and it's a cyst. But if not, it will turn out fine. I just feel it in my bones. You're so deserving of the best.
Keeping everything I own, crossed.

B 9 ... you are in my prayers! Self exams...we sure know our bodies!
I pray that it is nothing and that it will resolve on it's own. I am putting my energy into that thought but glad that you are getting the tests anyway.
Love, Hope, and Peace,
Carolyn

Dear Becky,
I am and will continue to pray for you. You are a strong lady and have always been so helpful and uplifting. I always tell my husband that someday I want to meet you. I am in Brooklyn N.Y. We are not a million miles from eachother. When all this is behind you lets try to "do lunch" as they say. Praying for all good things for you.
Sincerely,
Liz J.

You are in my prayers for good health and that what you have found is not cancer. Remember that cysts do come and go. The fact that it was not there a couple of weeks ago could be a good thing... that it is just a cyst that has temporarily appeared.
Before learning that I had breast cancer, the "cyst" that the surgeon and I were keeping an eye on did not change nor did it go away (over a period of about 3 weeks). He said "this concerns me because nothing has changed." A cyst will typically come and go.
I had 2 mastectomies, and can still feel what I hope are "cysts." I have had my worry hat on lately so have been checking the breasts more frequently and have noticed that in places, I can still feel a few of the same things that were in my dense breast tissue.

Becky,
I am sorry that you have to worry about this, but I understand too. I had a post lumpectomy lump that was determined to be a cyst after biopsy and I understand the fear and games your mind can play. I hope you have the same result as I did - in the meantime stay strong and think in the positive direction. I am sending hugs and prayers your way sister. Let us know when you know more.
Hugs,
Patricia
