my boob story

aren't breast ultrasounds hot...

so awhile ago i developed a weird ass lump in my breast....which led to a great deal of stress and being felt up by old man doctors, old female doctors, and one hot med student.

I noticed it in the shower, had my ex-gf confirm it, and then after convincing me it wasnt just my imagination I went to the doctor...this was in december

I had an ultrasound and they found the above which is a fibroandenoma- a benign tumor

My mother died of breast cancer at 54 in 2000. She had it the first time when i was in 2nd grade, the second time when i was 12, had a double mastectomy; it came back when i was 16 and metastasized to her liver...the story of so many peoples lives
she was an amazing person who never once was bitter or complained, she was finally happy with her life and didnt let anything mess with that. I could write all day about her

because of my family history they took this all very seriously and I had a couple biopsies over christmas- GIANT needles in my boob, i replayed an episode of the L word in my head- it was benign of course- the hardest part was telling my dad and then my sisters that they really wanted us to get the genetic test that alerts you if you carry the gene...i refused- i dont want to know at 22 that I most likely will get cancer by 40, but i will monitor more closely

anyway they decided to leave it for awhile and check it again 6 months later...it is now 6 months later and they want to remove it for cautions sake, so next week I have lollapalooza followed by a super fun surgery...but as bette says "tina had a lumpectomy and you can barely see the scar" (needless to say this season was sooo much fun to watch)

i dont really know why i'm posting this I just felt like sharing....so check your boobs even if you are young...it can be a fun and interactive activity ;)
...heres to hoping i at least get another hot med student
