On the phone with my eldest daughter, I do the thing mothers do to their eldest daughters: I list all of the things stressing me out. “… mostly money, exhaustion, Bea’s high school, this is probably the month I find a lump.” I say this as I reach down and touch my left breast. I feel it.
i had a very painful boob lump which ended up being benign but still oww. my gyn recommended taking vitamin e supplements to ease the pain so i did and it worked. it also made my naturally low blood pressure drop wayyy too low and i was having frequent vertigo, passing out and losing feeling in my extremities. took me a few weeks of those symptoms to connect to the vitamin e. i had the same issue with collagen supplements. bodies are weird. good luck. 🤞
My friend’s mom has a magnet on the fridge that says “Life is just one damn thing after another”. When I saw it I didn’t like it much. I thought it was bleak. Now I think I’m going to embroider the saying on a pillow.
It’s weird to say that I hope it’s a cyst, but I hope it’s a cyst.
Good luck to you, the waiting is the worst part. I had a golf ball sized lump at 24, asked my physician for a mammogram over the phone and she laughed - till she felt it at my appointment. I was the youngest in the waiting room for my ultrasounds, biopsy, and eventual surgery. Fortunately it was benign, fast growing phyllodes tumor taken care of with a snip snip. Wishing you a better prognosis Kelly <3
My breasts are all kinds of lumpy, fibrous messes now that I’m 45. Echoing everyone else I hope it’s just the old March of time scooting across your bosom and is nothing more than that. I do wonder if your migraines and seizures could be related though. That sounds terrifying. I’m very sorry. I wish I were your neighbor so we could talk about how much it sucks not having enough money and trying to get into the right high school and lumpy breasts and migraines. I cook and y’all could come for dinner. Open invitation if you’re ever in the upstate of SC. Lol. Good luck on your scan, glad you can get it and will be sending cash money, no more seizure, just cyst vibes.
I *have* a lump. It's a fibroadenoma, benign, and just the result of my hormones being overly hormonal. It also freaked me the ever-loving fuck out because I'm 31 and aren't I too young for this shit?? Sending peaceful vibes in the meantime while you work towards answers.
I too think it is a cyst, been there, and the seizures to me are more concerning. Be careful while driving! Now I want to be annoying and rattle off MRI questions, etc though I will digress. Wishing you all the love and healing. I feel this is all just setting you up for major blessings. If that's what friends are for could be any more relevant. Thanks again for your honesty. xx
Just got my results back today from the lump that plagued me all summer.. 3 months of waiting & stressing to find out I have a lipoma. Now I will spend the next 3 months telling myself to lose weight.
Lump as well. Canadian. Ultrasound, mammogram and into the surgeon for a general follow up of what appears begin. All in four weeks. I also lived a similar story to yours. Lived in VA for 10 years. Never considered moving back. Then I did. Maybe it was a weak move but then years later I don’t regret. I was hustling Boars Head lunch meat to pay for my daughters private school. Alone and exhausted as well.
I’m hoping it’s just a cyst or dense breast tissue. I had that diagnosis after being called back after I found a lump & had a mammogram. They did an follow up ultrasound. I’ll keep you in my good thoughts! It’s so scary just waiting
Thank you for writing this. I too have a lump and am waiting and waiting for an appointment. It’s the waiting that is hard. 💛

Thank you for making me feel up my boobs. Wishing you well and hoping it's nothing. The seizures are very concerning. Come home for a full workup?
How can we send $$$ to you?
