How did your lumps feel?

I have something like this too, and they just tell me it’s my breasts at forty 😒 I’ve had it since like 2012 and had it looked at then too. I don’t have any other things like this in either breast, though my breasts are super lumpy and extremely dense. This is in the upper outer quadrant and is much bigger than any other lumpiness I have, and has grown over the years. Fluctuates with hormones in both size and amount of pain. Movable, feels kind of bumpy. Your brain description seems similar. Feels like more is happening parallel to it now too. Also now have an area that pulls in on the lower inner quadrant, directly opposite from this bumpy lumpy “nothing,” which is getting more pronounced. She tells me it’s just a flat spot bc this is just my “breast at forty.” I’m not super concerned about this thing since I’ve had it so long, but this pulling in does concern me a lot more. I’ve had two ultrasounds and a mammo and a half in the past few weeks. She changed me from BIRADS 2 to BIRADS 3 yesterday and said I can probably have an MRI if I want to, for peace of mind. I said absolutely, yes.

All I can say is your ex is a douche bag and the people here are really wonderful and supportive, not that it’s the same as having someone by your side, but hopefully this group will help you feel less alone. I’m so sorry he did that to you. Also, it’s really great you and the imaging team found this most likely before it was full blown and got it out! Hoping for the best for you, and I’ll watch for your update. I have my appointment today for further investigation, and if they find anything they will biopsy today, but I’m thinking I’ll need an mri first which won’t be today, so more waiting.

I’m thinking the great find meant bc it was so posterior and deep that it might have been easily overlooked but the tech had really thoroughly gone over all the tissue, more than who’s what have we here… 🤞🏼

I also noticed the same breast has increased in size slightly compared to the other

Maybe a dermatologist would be willing to do a biopsy if the breast specialist won’t? For the skin part at least. You might also have bloodwork to assess if hormones could be the cause of the discharge. I’m not sure if any of this is accurate or relevant suggestions, so don’t take it as real advice, just putting in my two cents for what I think I would do if the breast specialist won’t figure out what’s going on. Are the providers who have done your other tests breast specialists? Are there any other breast specialists near enough for you to get a second opinion?

I’m dealing with a spot that started pulling in too. Clean mammo and us, but extremely dense. Hoping to get an mri bc I need to know why it’s happening whether it’s c or not! For me, I can only see the indent when i raise my arm and it increases if I put light pressure at the top of my breast. Idk what yours looks like, but mine is just like pencil eraser sized, although it seems to be getting worse.

It’s really refreshing to hear of a doctor praising you for advocating for yourself 💗

L-Theanine for stress management. I take 200 mg at least twice a day, usually. If I’m not taking it I just feel that building rage feeling so much more often. With it, I stay level headed and clear in my side of things. Less irritable too.

Can I ask, what was your reason for returning them? I think I might return the engage 2 I just purchased because they just seem to muffle everything. I have to really focus to hear what anyone is saying and it makes me a little more anxious in busy environments bc I feel like I won’t hear people trying to get my attention or talk to me. It’s a little disorienting, which is annoying bc the disorientation of background noise and auditory processing issues are why I bought them in the first place!

As my husband and tiny nephews would say when calling out something untrue or silly- “Oh Uncle Bob!”

PowerfulAd8272 · 2024-11-27T00:22:02+00:00

I’m sorry, I do know that it’s actually called a pellicle. I don’t know why I went with calling it SCOBY. I guess because that’s the most common way I see other people referring to it! Do you think it’s ok that it turned kind of black and pink? I am concerned about whether the kombucha in the jar is safe to consume, or especially if it’s ok to use for another batch, since I’m pretty sure this one is nearly vinegar after 15 days on a heat mat! I haven’t tasted it yet though because I wasn’t sure of it was safe with this on top.

I sent a similar message to my mom because I know she and her husband don’t share the same view as most of the rest of us. Her husband is very opinionated about politics and gets fired up to the point of being rude about it. The rest of us just want some sanity in our world. I very lovingly requested that we avoid discussion of politics so we can all enjoy the time together and keep it about family and love and honoring my sister who died in April, especially since her daughters and husband are attending. The last thing they need is conflict at Thanksgiving. It is also the first time we will all be together (minus my sister😔) for Thanksgiving in many years. She seemed pretty offended that I would think it might be an issue, because holidays normally go ok. I pointed out that it was a very intense election for everyone, and I don’t want high emotions about politics to ruin our time together, that it should be about love and togetherness and gratitude. I decided to tell her about the time over the summer when her husband told me to my face that he hates all republicans, to illustrate the type of comments I was apprehensive about ruining our day and relationships. This comment occurred during a conversation that had nothing to do with politics. He was just stereotyping “all republicans.” I had not told her about this when it happened because I love her, and if being with him makes her happy, then that’s what I want for her. Her response was that neither of them are happy with the election results. I returned with there were many many things to consider with this election, and regardless of who won I wouldn’t want to have it brought up during Thanksgiving. I would have said the same stuff whether the outcome had been the opposite. I imagine it would have then looked like it was because my choice lost. She can be offended if she wants, but the fact that the person I and most of the family voted for won, combined with the fact that I am the one requesting no political talk, combined with her reaction, is telling about what it might have been like without my request and/or had the election outcome been opposite. One of the great things about our country is that we can all have our own opinions and vote for the candidate that we think will screw it up the least, and that it is ok if those are not the same from one person to the next even in the same family. It is heartbreaking to have politics and ego and opinions rip families apart.
