Sore but relieved After two weeks of hospital tests, where I've been poked, prodded, squashed (mammogram - Jeez, they f'ing hurt!), had needles stuck in me and been drawn on (!) I heard today that there is no malignancy, just lumps (or 'masses' as doctors call them).

I am intensely relieved, as well as a little sore, having had 5 needle aspirations from each boob this morning.

I have to go back in two weeks after my 'interesting' case has been discussed at some panel meeting or other, just to see if anyone else has any input into what these lumps might be. I can live with that.

Phew! Although to the outside world I give the impression that I'm all cool and in control, I was worried about this.  ¶ 3:30 pm
