Diane, reading your post brought back to me all the times I got worried over similar things. It's normal to be hypervigilant and anxious in these early years after diagnosis -- but that doesn't make it any easier. I bet almost all of us have had similar scares, and most of them turned out to be nothing. But that doesn't mean we should ignore things -- as others have said, you'll want to get it checked out, both for your cancer health, and your mental health.

I think the most reassuring thing about the lumps you've found is that they are on both sides. Cancer doesn't tend to tend to be so nicely symmetrical. I hope that eases your mind a bit, while you're waiting to check in with your provider about this concern.

Keep us posted. We're thinking about you, sending good thoughts . . .
