Introduction - Developing Soon

In 32* years,  I’ve had 11* breast cysts (all of them thankfully benign). 5 were removed through 3 surgeries, 1 was aspirated, 1 was a false alarm, and 4 are just hanging out after multiple diagnostic visits.

I've never had nor been diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog is a (hopefully) amusing and informative retelling of my personal experience with breast lumps. 

Because even if you don’t ever develop a lump, odds are someone close to you might, and breast or otherwise, strange growths in our bodies are kinda scary.

Next Post 7/29: A lump is found, and a girl freaks out.

  1. Hi, Sarah! Good work. I hope your blog saves some lives. I've had one cyst and one malignant lump removed. The first I found around 1965; the second was discovered by a mammogram in 1995 (?) before it became apparent to either me or my doctor. Love, Gramma

  2. Thanks, Gramma! I'm super jazzed you were my 1st comment - how cool is that? Take notes, my girl cousins - family medical history is important to know!
