Mammogram

I had my appointment early this morning. What a way to get the day started! LOL. It's uncomfortable but what little pain and kinks in the back I get are well worth what the consequences might otherwise be. I have a small little lima bean size lump on my right breast but I'm thinking its just like what I had on my left breast a few years ago. I have a lot of *strata for lack of a better word in my breasts and the lump from before on my left breast was just that kind of tissue but it kept growing and was painful so that's why I had that removed. This one I've felt before. It seems to come around right before my period so I'm pretty sure its nothing. I'll keep telling myself that anyway until I get the all clear letter. My maternal aunt (who I'm named after coincidentally) also had these problems. Weird, huh? Anyway, we have insurance and better safe than sorry and now I'm going to quit rambling. I always try not to worry but can't help myself for the next week or so. My Grandma, her Sister and their Mother all had breast cancer but so far it hasn't shown up in my Mother's or my generations. Hopefully it won't. Stats are though that you don't have to have a family history of it anymore for it to just show up. You just never know. So again, BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY!!
