Cancer Scare

It has been a stressful past couple of weeks. Let's just say a couple of weeks ago, I discovered a breast lump! Given my mom's history with breast cancer, I was worried to say the least. I thought it felt like a skin thing, so I first went to the dermatologist. The PA didn't know what it was, prompting me to call my OBGYN office. The nurse practioner there was more certain it was a skin cyst but ordered a mammogram just in case. I couldn't get in for two weeks so I ended up booking a private ultrasound last week due to anxiety. They confirmed it was a skin cyst and the mammogram today confirmed that as well. I am so happy I don't have cancer but it was a stressful two weeks. I don't know why the dermatology PA couldn't diagnose a skin cyst. The yearly mammograms start now.
