long day closes...

So today I had to have a mammogram (my first one) because a week and a half ago I found a lump in one of my breasts.

Talk about scary.


I went into the doctor that same day and she examined me and said she couldn't really tell much more than that there truly was a lump there and that I needed to have a mammogram and an ultrasound of the lump after that.


So today was the mammogram and it wasn't painful and it wasn't scary -- plenty of people had told me roughly what to expect from it... it would have been a more pleasant experience if it had been my first mammogram because of it being about time for me to start them rather than b/c of me having found anything though!!

The technicians were very nice and made me feel at ease. And I am happy to report that it is just a lump of tissue and that I don't have to worry about it -- just have to come back for another mammogram in 5 years.


BIIIIIGGGG HUGE sigh of relief -- praise GOD.

That's wonderful news, Kristen. Praise the Lord, and I'm glad that worry turned out harmless.
