Freaked out over new lump
That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
I was playing with my new boobs (as i do quite often lately because they feel so soft!) and I felt a small lump. Same side as the cancer, about 1:00 position (if I had a nipple). I would estimate it less than a cm. It is right on the edge of the implant. It almost feels elongated like part of a blood vessel or something. But it is hard.
After pouring over Lani's reports on radiation to Christie, I guess with my ER/PR - status, I'm at extra risk for recurrance. but DANG. I haven't even finished rads yet!
I'm seeing my plastic surgeon for a follow up on Thursday. I will point it out to him and see if it might be part of the implant or something. After that, i guess it's back to biopsy-land for me  .
