Epilogue - The Summary of Lumpiness

Being a fairly private person, I rarely tell people I’ve had 11* breast lumps, but lately I’ve found the more I open up the more similar stories I hear in return.

More often than not a girlfriend will casually admit, “Oh, yeah, I found a lump, should I get it checked out?” or “My sister/aunt/mother had one”.

That is why I wrote this blog: for my friends and family. And their friends. And, truth be told, a little for me too. For anyone who is not necessarily dealing with cancer, but is still scared of the unknown lump they just found in their body.

And if you ever do find a lump ---> make an appointment with your doctor. No dallying. No dancing or skirting around the issue. Don’t post on a online forum to ask ‘Can someone describe what cancer feels like?’ or do an internet search to try and self-diagnose. 

Just make the appointment and go.

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.
