testing today

nstrange

I have my first mammogram today. No one seems to notice my post to respond. But I guess just posting seems to ease my mind. My husband is originally from New Bern and his mom and some of his dads family still live there so his mind is mostly there when I need him the most. I feel alone going into testing today. I know I am only 30 that is why I guess I am ignored by most of you. Which I get. I myself think I am completely crazy. with my arm swelling, my breast getting smaller then to originally finding a pea size hard lump that has now grown to at least a grape size. i just do not like the way the lump feels. I had a five year mirena for 8yrs and I'm wondering if that hasn't caused my lump. the mirena was still working when I had it removed. I literally didn't have periods for 8yrs. also I developed very early I had my first period at 9yrs old. I am supposed to get a mammogram and an ultrasound. Do they do them in the same day? or am I going to have to wait again? I have a very uneasy feeling about my lump. Even if no one responds. if you happen to read this keep me in your thoughts today.

If this helps ease your mind, the vast majority of lumps in your women turn out to be benign, and here are some examples of benign conditions of the breast from our main site:
