Boob Drama Vol.1

Biopsy tomorrow. I could say I'm not the least bit worried...but why lie unnecessarily? ;D

The truth is, I am. Just a little. I think I have a pretty good idea what's going to happen and I've come to grips with it all so I'm expecting that I'll do just fine. But it's kinda one of those situations where you don't really know how you'll react until it's actually happening.

Either way it's not that big of a deal so I'm sure I'll be just fine. At least I will be eventually.

I just want this whole ordeal to be over and done with as soon as possible. Whether it's malignant (and I really doubt that it is) or not. I'm pretty much over this entire situation.

OK so besides experiencing some minor boob pain now, hours after my biopsy, it wasn't that bad. I can honestly say the hardest part was waiting. Which there was a lot of. The actual procedure took about 3 minutes and then the doctor stood applying pressure to the site for another 5. A relatively quick and easy procedure. Novocaine is amazing. I got two shots of it and now like I said hours after the procedure I'm just now feeling the effects of the slight slice in my breast and the tissue being taken from the lump. By the way the doc also thinks that it's just a fibroadenoma. I apparently have a lot of them, and true to medical research am just one of those young black women who are prone to getting them. They're not a big deal and there's not much you can do about it, but I have already decided to get the two in my right breast removed as soon as possible because they are huge, palpable, and sometimes painful. Therefore they must go. But all in all, it's all very good news. So yayyy me! :)
