Lump News

I just received the results of the biopsy. The lump is benign!!! I have a tiny metal marker near the lump and they'll keep an eye on lump on future mammograms.

I am soooo relieved!! I have a multicolored (mostly purple) breast and a big lump, effects from the biopsy but all this will disappear eventually.

Thank you Ladies for holding my hand!!

    The metal thing is tiny and it is a marker for future mammograms, to keep an eye on lump, make sure there are no changes and in case it doesn't just disappear. Me metal thingy doesn't bother me and I do not want another biopsy if I can help it.

    Breast is purple because of huge bruise caused by biopsy.
