I’ve decided that I’m going to begin this project again. I thought about taking a picture of just my face every day (I’m sure you’ve all seen the videos), but I’m not sure I’ll do just that. However, I do want to be in every picture I post for the next 365 days.
Today is the first day of what may be a very short experience, but has the possibility of becoming a life-changing situation. I found two lumps in my left breast a few days ago, and today I went to the doctor to have a Clinical Breast Exam (CBE). He found three lumps and I am going in for an ultrasound in two days. The ultrasound will (hopefully) show us whether the lumps are fluid-filled (cysts) or solid (not cysts). If they aren’t cysts, the next step is a mammogram.
I am hopeful that they are just cysts. He mentioned Fibrocystic Breast Disease, and it could very well just be that. But it could also be that other thing. The “C” word. I hope to have some answers this week.
