Do you have a hug or positive words??

I am just really nervous this week. It was my 2nd mammogram (now recommended after 40) and while last year was clear..they saw what *may* be a mass on left side. I do have a feeling it is a cyst type mass as I do get pain there occasionally, and most tumors do not hurt in the breast. But I am STILL nervous. I am going back for a second mammogram with ultrasound this week. 😟

Then I will be emailing my doc after THAT about a cyst like lump in my stomach. I do feel pain with that too and I have put it off many months to get it checked. My sister had a benign cyst that hurt as welll years ago and it was a lipoma that they cut out. I hope it is that. Either way I am pretty nervous all around so any hugs welcome 💓

🤗♥ I know it's scary but mammograms taken early have had a lot of false positive results. In the book I read about cancer it was something like fifty percent of positive screenings for young women were false and something like cysts. I can't remember if it was fifty percent but it was a high number. The good news is that with early detection even if the lump is breast cancer the survival rate for breast cancer is very high and they know a lot about it and how to treat it.

Don't worry yourself and just do whatever your doctor recommends.

@Lostpoet Thank you for your words 🌺 I just am getting nervous about the cyst lump in stomach too as that has been there for a year. But for 6 months i thought it was gone ..couldn't feel it. Now I have felt it again and I TRULY hope it is a lipoma.

@Baybreeze Most likely it isn't there are many different things that can cause a lump. It could even be a hernia.

@Baybreeze You are smart about going to a doctor thought don't let these things go unchecked.
