well damn, i have a question for anyone that knows the answer...


as i mentioned before, i had to go in for a mammogram about 2 weeks ago, doc felt 3 lumps in one breast, and 1 in the other. nothing showed up on the mammogram, so i thought all was well, in fact, the doctor called me to say that all was well... then they called back 3 days later and said i needed to see a specialist for a sonogram of the breast area. i asked why if the mammogram was normal, why was i doing this ?? they said they just wanted to 'make sure'. well, it turns out that the 'specialist' im going to go see is a surgeon


now, what the fuck is really going on ????? they are talking about draining some sort of cysts, or removing them with surgery this is NOT making me feel comfortable and APPARENTLY, they dont even put you to sleep before they come at you with a needle to 'drain' whatever the fuck is in there she asked me if i was able to feel them, i said, well, i wear a DD-DDD bra, i cant feel anything in there !!

and to make matters worse, they are located way inside so, they would numb the skin area, and then put the needle in and 'move it around' until they can get to them all wtf is this shit about ?????

i said, well, do i HAVE to have this done ??? she said no, but, its highly recommended

any of you girls out there know anything that could help me sleep better tonight ???? im scared

I would be scared too
Sorry NPP, can't find the words to help you feel better!
I'll be thinking about you though!!
Hope everything turns out okay!

I sympathise but good grief, isn't this something you should keep to yourself?!

My mom had this done, and she was out of there in no time and the pain didn't last too long. You'll be fine!

thanks sweetie some things i have learned from questions i just asked, i feel i should pass on...

*breast cancer is NOT painful until its in its latest stages... thats why its important to have them checked often.

*i thought if it was cancer, it would grow all in one piece, that is NOT the case.

*breast cancer DOES NOT have to run in the family... no history DOES NOT mean that you are safe.


thats all for now, i'll let you know when i calm down what else i can remember....

Well its horses for causes I guess. I suppose Im just a private person to some extent. Hope you're OK.

Well, all I can tell you is that my mother had this done. I have not. Evidentally, it is a non cancerous cyst that is deep in the tissue, and it is kind of like a boil. By that I mean if they were to drain it without removing it, it would only fill back up. I can tell you to research careful before you make any decisions about your health. There are lots of on line resources for you, and when you go to the surgeon, make him or her explain the pros and cons of the procedure and the benefit to you. Let the provider know that it is your body, and that you have to live in it. Make sure you fully understand the long term effects of non treatment. As far as the fear of the procedure, do not work yourself up. It is only a waste of energy. I have had to face lots of scary medical things recently, and have found fear of the unknown or of the needles is useless, and when the time comes to be brave, my health is enough to make me step up to the plate and endure. Good luck in whatever you choose.

thank you sweetie

anniefannie said:

very sweet post and informative as well... thank you

I wonder why some people consider this topic to be something that should be "kept to yourself" yet graphic threads about bodily functions, private sexual experiences or preferences, or personal family & relationship issues are acceptable thread fodder?

As for keeping this sort of thing to yourself, I think some folks just have the antiquated notion that "woman issues" (any medical stuff having to do with breasts, vaginas or uteruses) shouldn't be spoken of in public, but instead be kept quiet about as though those type of medical issues are something to be ashamed of or are too uncomfortable/disgusting to discuss in public. It's harder to deal with certain female medical problems because of weird societal ideas that they're "not to be discussed in public" and I think that's pure and not fair or right.

nakedpianoplayer - You talk about this all you want if it helps to do so...and it *does* help to talk about things that are scary - it helps a person to feel not so alone and helps you to learn. And to educate others.

My thoughts will be with you. I hope everything turns out OK. I know this is a scary, confusing situation but be brave and do what you must for your health. anniefannie gave you good advice.

thanks guys i'll be fine... im sure its nothing though, anything having to do with this kinda stuff freaks me out

thanks for the support

DexMSR said:

i needed that thanks dex

just remember, don't do anything without knowing if it is in your best interests.

bluesbaby said:

oh girl, now you KNOW thats never gonna work

if i could figure out what WAS in my best interests.... i would have a COMPLETELY different life

but, i promise to ask a million questions, hows that ?

it sounds like cancer was ruled out ?

I know how scary this must be, but I guess

in the end all you can do is examine the information and do what you need to to keep yourself healthy

Everything will be okay. Just nip it in the bud ASAP.

And no tittie fucking for a while!

I'm hoping that all is well
And maybe it's a sign that you should STOP SMOKING!!!!!

KaleidoscopeEyes said:

sorry jd but good grief... if it was fluid on her knee would you have a problem with her post??? instead it is fluid in her breast - big deal???

naked - my sister has had it done as well as my mother and i am sure somewhere in my future i will have to have an aspiration. it won't be fun but then it will be over with - like anniefannie said don't waste energy worrying about the unknown.

and yes ask questions!!! knowledge is power!!!

anniefannie said:

Where did this little bit of commentary come from...who said this should be kept to themselves???

HUGE s nekkid!!

I'm goin' through a bit of "medical marvelry" myself and know that doctors can really suck ass...

Don't do anything until you talk to someone and get things explained to your satisfaction! Nothing is worse than being confused and scared all at the same time

My ear is always close if ya need ta vent
