So a couple of months ago I found a lump in my breast. Scary as hell. Worst part is trying to get into the OBGYN. I got my appointment only to confirm that in fact there is a lump of some sort. I love how the doctor states its most likely nothing. And you can tell this just by touching my boobs? I find that a tad hard to swallow. So instead I begin to worry. He schedules my mammogram and tell me if they see something that he will want an ultrasound done as well. I have never had a mammogram. I knew it entailed squishing my boobs. Let me just tell you I think it was developed by a man. I swear they put them in a vice…see below pictures
Vice that a man uses
mammogram machine…see the resemblance?
No? Here is a better visual
So save the ta ta’s check your breast every month!

I swear, if we were animals, we'd get the fraking results 10 minutes later. I know I need to get a mammogram, but the impending pain stops me in my tracks. Sad, I know. Here's praying that it really is nothing!
Casting your breast lump to the Universal Healing Power and hoping it resolves into a cyst that can be drained or similar “thang”. So far I am 0 for 3 in the lumpectomy race. All benign, all very very scary.
I had the same thing happen to me when I was only 34. I had the mammogram (I didn't think it hurt though), followed by a sonogram. I was told to wait a week.
ahahahahah! I was on that phone the next day and continued calling until 48 hours later the doctor called me back and said everything was fine.
The lump actually went away before she called me back and was as a result of me drinking too much caffeine or some bullshit like that.
Get on the horn and call those biatches so you don't make yourself crazy.
If you go to the same OBGYN I do, he really treats everything like that. He's casual about shit like that. I didn't find out until a week after my surgery, while he was showing me the pictures from my operation, that I had pre-cancer. He was like " I cut it out and burned it. Got rid of it." Like it was nothing.
I dread getting a mammogram. I don't want my boobies squished like pancakes, but it's better to be safe.
Maybe it's just a fatty lump. Happens. Hope you get good results!
Hope everything comes out fine. I've never had a boob smashing yet and I'm moving on 57 years. i do check myself every week though just in case.
One of these days I have to make an appointment for "the works" and get totally sloshed and get everything scoped, smashed, and checked out. One of these days.
Wishing you well!! My doctor suggested yesterday that I should think about getting an early mammogram since I already have a history of cancer. But I got big mammies and am not liking the idea of the squish!
