Hi everyone,
I''ve just come from the OB/Gyn, and now I''m terrified. After doing my breast exam, she asked me if I was expecting my period (tmi, sorry), and I said I just had it last week. Then she says, well, you''re kinda lumpy, and I think we should send you to get an ultrasound, because it''s better to be safe than sorry. At this point I''m shaking, and freaked out, and I say, "Should I be worried or scared?" And she said, "No it''s just a precaution, we''re extra careful around here". So she tells me to make an appointment after waiting 7 working days for them to get my paperwork, and then after that appointment, make another with her within 30 days. So it''s not too much of a hurry, that''s a good sign, right? And she didn''t find anything in particular, like a hard lump, just lumpy tissue. She said it''s normal, but wants to see what''s in there. She doesn''t want a mammogram, just the ultrasound, so I''m not exposed to radiation. I''m really freaked out- is this common?
