I’m not referring to sugar. I’m talking about my right breast.
The lump by my nipple has been there on and off for a couple of months. I’ve had a blocked milk duct before so haven’t been too concerned.
Last night I found a second lump — if you were looking at me face-on, it’s at 8 o’clock. The lump is small and hard, moveable but not rubbery, the surrounding tissue texture feels grainy, like a pear.
I’m not freaking out, but of course I’m concerned. Dr. Google suggests it might be fibrocystic so I’m hoping it’s nothing more than that.
It’s not a side effect of the oestrogen — I spoke to a nurse at my RE’s clinic this morning. I guess I’ll call my obgyn on Monday and hope she can fit me in ASAP.
I must say, apart from the very obvious fact that I don’t want this to be breast cancer, can we just throw in a little extra hope that it’s not because… talk about one more thing going wrong this year! Not to mention, this is something that could really fuck up a fresh cycle in January…
Can I just get a break please? If all this means healthy baby on board from February to November 2014, then I’m down with it. Otherwise, I am so done with this year. Thank god there are only 24 days left. It’s official: 2013, you sucked.
Sadie says
Oh crap Lauren, this is not what you need right now (or ever, obviously). I hope that your doctor can get to the bottom of it quickly and that it really is nothing to worry about, so that you can get back to planning for your January cycle. Sending many good thoughts your way my friend. xo
Lauren says
Thanks, Sadie. Fingers crossed for all of us, hey? Xx

And I feel the same way about 2013. Can’t wait to bid it farewell.
Lauren says
You’ll be amongst the first to know! Yes, 2013, can you just go already? …
