I went to the breast clinic this morning for the results of the tests they
did last week, and the result is - inconclusive.
I hope that, when you do go back, the results will have turned from "inconclusive" to "conclusively benign". In my late teens/early 20ties I had a lump, which I -- mostly -- ignored, as it didn't seem to change. Once I got to US, DH (not DH yet, but with some interest in lumps and such <g>) insisted I go see the doctor. The doctor put on a very serious face and opined that I ought to see him again if it changed... Duh? I need to pay for that kind of advice?
The thing just disappeared, sometime during pregnancy, though I didn't think it was the kind of "change" the doctor had in mind, and didn't make a point of visiting him... I realise that getting pregnant soon is an unlikely solution for Jean, but I hope that her problem -- like my problem -- proves to be just a passing cloud...
In the meantime, remember the joys of *checking*... :)

������During a�Mammogram�Breasts !! ������ ___ ___
������ For years and years they told me, ������ Be careful of your breasts. ������ Don't ever squeeze or bruise them. ������ And give them monthly tests.
������ So I heeded all their warnings, ������ And protected them by law. ������ Guarded them very carefully, ������ And I always wore my bra.
������ After 30 years of astute care, ������ My gyno, Dr. Pruitt, ������ Said I should get a Mammogram ������ "O.K," I said, "let's do it."
������ "Stand up here real close" she said, ������ (She got my boob in line), ������ "And tell me when it hurts," she said, ������ "Ah yes! Right there, that's fine."
������ She stepped upon a pedal, ������ I could not believe my eyes! ������ A plastic plate came slamming down, ������ My hooter's in a vise!
������ My skin was stretched and mangled, ������ From underneath my chin. ������ My poor boob was being squashed, ������ To Swedish Pancake thin.
������ Excruciating pain I felt, ������ Within it's vise-like grip. ������ A prisoner in this vicious thing, ������ My poor defenseless tit!
������ "Take a deep breath" she said to me, ������ Who does she think she's kidding?!? ������ My chest is mashed in her machine, ������ And woozy I am getting.
������ "There, that's good," I heard her say, ������ (The room was slowly swaying.) ������ "Now, let's have a go at the other one." ������ Have mercy, I was praying.
������ It squeezed me from both up and down, ������ It squeezed me from both sides. ������ I'll bet SHE'S never had this done, ������ To HER tender little hide.
������ Next time that they make me do this, ������ I will request a blindfold. ������ I have no wish to see again, ������ My knockers getting steam rolled.
������ If I had no problem when I came in, ������ I surely have one now. ������ If there had been a cyst in there, ������ It would have gone "ker-pow!"
������ This machine was created by a man, ������ Of this, I have no doubt. ������ I'd like to stick his balls in there, ������ And see how THEY come out!
OK gals, now that you have had your laugh, remember... Breast Cancer Awareness... Go have those boobs checked out and stay healthy! Pass the message on to your mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, cousins, friends -- and even your enemies -- because the worst enemy is Breast Cancer!
