The doc gave me the numbers, and the big "C" is the smallest percentage,
---Especially since the mammo was clear. More than likely, an infection or a pappiloma, he says.
Ever since the mammo, I've been keeping it extra clean and covered with neosporin.
The oozing seems to have stopped. Hope the doc can still find all the bad parts.

I'll be praying for you until you give us the "all clear". Your attitude, persistence, and sense of humor will be a big help.

CF,

My wife had a lumpectomy and radiation therapy in 2010, so I can relate to what you're going through.
Hang in there and know you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Husker hugs,

My sister had her thyroid chemically killed, because it was raging out of control. Five years after that she had other symptoms, including fatigue. After the docs performed a lot of expensive, time wasting tests, they finally decided she had Parathyroid Tumors, which is a typical side effect for have Thyroid problems. The Parathyroid Tumors, left alone in the body cause all kinds of trouble besides fatigue. And including Cancers, including Breast Cancer. Have you ever had Thyroid problems?

Sorry to be so far off what is likely happening, but few doctors recognize Parathyroid tumors when they occur, I thought I would throw it in to worry about. Or to feel good about.

Due to my diabetes, I get blood drawn at least twice a year, but I will mention to my doc tomorrow
(At my pre-surgery physical) that my paternal grandmother had a goiter.
He already knows my baby brother died of colon cancer. --at 52.
Most of the females in my family have longevity, but as widows, since the men have not fared nearly as well.

Lord have mercy, Froggie, stay out of that blender.

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately for me, BSE's are practically useless because of dense breast tissue.
On any given day, mine are lumpy anyway; firm and perky, (well, sorta, at my age) but lumpy as a sack of potatoes.
--small potatoes, at that.
Anyhoo, I never miss my yearly squish-fest.

That's right. Twenty-something years later I still remember the number my radiologist gave me -- 95% probability of a papilloma. It was still a scary ordeal but I took great comfort in that number.

I hear 'ya, me too re chronic cystic lumpiness. On the other hand, at the tender age of 15 I felt something I knew was different from my "usual" lumps. It went all the way to surgical biopsy and pathology before the docs were reassured that it was benign. Now you would think the experiences I've had with these biopsies would make me very diligent and pretty confident about self-exam, but I don't approach it easily or often to be honest.

I really think you're going to be fine and I look forward to hearing good news soon.

Found a lump once - waiting was the worst thing. Turned out to be nothing.

Good luck to you, or break a leg.....

Good luck! And thanks for the push - I've been needing to get my mammogram scheduled and reading this was exactly what I needed to actually get on the phone and make the appointment. I hope you hear GOOD NEWS!

Good for you! {{{and happy birthday}}}
I scheduled my very first mammogram on my oldest son's birthday, for obvious reasons.
I was debating whether or not to share, but decided in favor, partly for myself,
but also because I've seen how a discussion can shake a few procrastinators out of their trees.

Sorry to read this, CF, and now I'm crossing my fingers (and toes) for you to hear good news. I had a lot of anxiety when I was waiting for test results and facing the unknown, so I feel for you, but I also have loads of confidence that all will be well. Keep your head above the water.
