A little Nervous

Options

Back in January I posted that I had felt a lump on my right foob. I had a double mastectomy back in June of 2009 when I was 31yrs. old. I had the doctors look at this new lump and had an ultrasound done. The Ultrasound did not show anything alarming but also could not confirm what the lump was. The lump is about 2cm. It feels flat, hard, smooth and round.  I have been monitored by my doctors the past 6 months and there have been no changes to the lump but still doctors can't tell me for sure what the lump is unless we do an excision surgery. The lump is not on the mastectomy scar line; it is just above it. So, after going back and forth, I decided to go ahead and have this thing removed to make sure we know what it is. I think I hesitated to do the surgery this long because I feel like it is most likely not cancer and even though I have insurance I can't really afford the out of pocket surgery costs right now. But I am gonna go ahead with surgery so we can have peace of mind and finally know what this thing is.

I am a little nervous that this "Nothing" will turn out to be "Something". Surgery is scheduled for this Friday at 8am. I will be put under for this but it should be a quick surgery. Anyhow, a little nervous and needed to vent to those that can understand what I am feeling.
