> So, the ultrasound was good enough for you?
*****yes I was OK with that. They said it might be a cyst. Maybe I SO wanted to hear that it wasn't serious, that I latched onto that!****
I had several ultrasounds and they all showed my lump is most likely a fibroadenoma. It's the "most likely" part that I don't like. I just want to know for sure. I know that isn't p
possible, but I want to know as much as I can.********Yes - 'most likely' can be un-nerving. I think it's a good way to look at it - what you said about if they thought it was cancer they wouldn't make you wait so long. I haven't read everything about this for you, but it sounds like some other doctor said it wasn't cancer?
You have to do what you have to do. Good for you in being proactive about your health. I think the main thing in the meantime is to really try not to worry & certainly not to catastrophize (IS that a word?!!) To some extent I believe that we create our own reality....might as well expend your energy on good stuff if possible.******

> Sorry about your Mom Kath. It must have been difficult for you.******Thanks Deneb. It was devastating for me. I'm an only child & my Mom & I were VERY close. For decades I hadn't really grieved very much at all. Recently, I've been getting in touch with that. Take care, Deneb :-)) Kath********
