I found a lump in my breast on Thursday night which gave me a terrible fright. I really think I believed that only happened to other people. After a sleepless night and a few tears I took myself off to the first female doctor I could get an appointment with at my regular surgery......a doctor who turned out to be an aquaintance from the days when our kids went to preschool together.
Oh my Lord......what are the odds???
What a lovely chance to get my gear off catch up after all these years......me with my top off and my hands behind my head......her scrutinising my boosies from every angle like the good doctor she is......reminiscing about the kids......good times ;O)
Next time I think we'll just do coffee......
Next time I think we'll just do coffee......
Have you got your girls out for an old friend lately?
I think it's about time you did......
LOVE Tania XX
PS. The doctor reassured me that it was nothing to worry about but as a precaution I'm going to have a mammogram and an ultrasound......and a glass of wine ;O)
Gosh what a busy week you have had! Glad all is ok, it can be very stressful! I had a very similar thing happen... apparently and strangely the painful type lumps are the ones you want have! Still scary and means you have to be extra careful...but you have to be anyways. Glad all is well!!! Here's to a more relaxing week ahead for you! Rach xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Rach, you've been a great support ;O)
DeleteI will be relaxing tonight that's for sure!!!
Have a great weekend......
Tania xx
Doctor visits are definitely the one time you don't want to run into anyone you know...how embarrassing....but thank goodness everything is ok :0)
ReplyDeleteI still blush when I think about it ;O)
DeleteI would rather my old friends, particularly the boys, remembered my girls as they were.
ReplyDeleteGlad your lump should be ok.
Caro
I hear you......I would have preferred she she them a decade ago when we first met. She also got to meet my muffin top. The waiting room nearly got to see even more when I forgot to do up the top button on my jeans and they nearly fell down ;O)
DeletePS I was once on the TV show perfect match, 1985 as an 18 year old. I was the single girl and won a date out with a student doctor, who I might add is now my kids' doctor. Not because we kept in touch, but after all those years we ended up living in the same suburb and there he was. There is no way he is ever going near my boobs though. I didn't let him near them then and I don't intend to now either.
ReplyDeleteCaro
omg......were you? that's crazy!
DeleteI thought Newy was a small place ;O)
You keep those beauties for hubby!!!

I'm laughing, relieved and wishing you well...and the girls :)
ReplyDeleteIf you don't laugh you cry ;O)
DeleteThanks Pippa......you're a decent chick.
That would have been scary. I am glad it looks ok. Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Rachel......don't we all just have the same problems really ? ;O)
DeleteIt will be nothing but you HAVE to get it checked out. I have a lumpy in my lefty. We are mates, but she gets an X-ray every now and then, just to be sure xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the moral support K.Woogsy......I think it's all part of the fun at our age......30......so nice to know it's not just me ;O)
DeleteSO glad to hear everything is ok. Been thinking of you :)
ReplyDeleteOh phew!! How frightening, Tania. So glad it's all fine.
ReplyDeleteYep, got my stuff out there, so to speak, with a parent of a child I used to teach. Love pap smears with aquaintances. Almost as good as breast examinations. Ugh!!!
OMG you so win!!!
DeleteT xx
That must have been a strange experience meeting an old acquaintance like that! I discovered a lump 2 years ago which turned out to be cyst it is worth having the mammogram and ultrasound done, hope it goes OK.
ReplyDeleteSarah x
You have just reminded me that it is time to check me out again... Glad it is nothing to worry about, have an awesome Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie......make sure you do!
DeleteHappy Sunday!!!
Hi Tania, just thought I'd share my story & hope it helps.. I'm in mid 30's and 3 times since my mid 20's I have found lumps which Ive had to go and have checked out, each time an ultrasound and either fine needle biopsy &/or mamogram. Mine have always been hormonal tissue, which have then somehow gone away. Apparently if a lump is tender/painful it is usually cyst/hormonal tissue & the other type of lump we never want to know about is not usually tender. Its a stressful time, Im sure everything will be okay. Apparently it is good to have a mamogram as in years to come if you ever have another one they can compare the 2 to track any changes in your breasts. Geez I sound like a doctor but after 3 rounds I know a little! Bec :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Bec......it's really nice to know it's not just me.
DeleteI am fairly sure it's nothing to worry about, fingers crossed.
I will definitely have the tests though.
Tania xx
Holy CRap babe - I am just playing catch up. How scary for you hun. Thank heavens it all turned out OK and THANKYOU for the reminder to check. Off to check now! xx
ReplyDeleteHey love, just checking up on about three weeks worth of computer perusing. Just saw this, so sorry you had to go through this. We should catch up soon. I myself have been through a similar expierence lately. Got very sick about three weeks ago with what I thought was a cold and a bladder infection. Ended up in hospital during the night, diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and a mystery illness. Back to the doctor a couple of days later for results from myriad of tests carried out on me, only to be subjected to full body check over, including pap smear, gotta love that. Still nothing. Went home with directions to stay on antibiotics and if not better in a week or so, take forms to specialists for more intrusive tests ie: internal scans etc. Luckily started feeling a little better, started eating again and am now almost back to normal (relative term). Maybe I was just going out in sympathy for you telepathically. Sounds good to me anyway. C U SOON!! Smiley.
ReplyDeleteNormally when I say 'out with the girls' I do mean you girls and I have to say you're way more fun. Let me know if you need help AT ALL ok??? I really hope those antibiotics kick in soon!!! Love Tania xx
