Storm in a D cup

The doctor has given me the all-clear following my recent lump/s scare - one a cyst, the other not a complex cyst (which could have been an issue) but a fibroadenoma aka a benign and movable and firm and not tender tumor of the breast; common in young women and caused by high levels of estrogen. (Definition courtesy of the SlovoEd dictionary on Palm.)
It was a bit of a flurry there, getting to the GP and then off for a mammogram, ultrasound and FNA (to allow them to drain the RB cyst and to biopsy the LB growth. Thank goodness it all turned out to be just a storm in a D cup. It's good that it's over and Sooz and I are thankful that that's it for the moment.
Spare a thought for all those women (and men) who haven't had such good news and/or are currently undergoing treatment. And help fund a mammogram today (and every day) by going to the BreastCancer site and clicking on the pink button. (Thanks for the reminder Deb!)
