Back to the beginning

This is where my journey begins. In the spring of 2014 I feel a lump in my left breast near my nipple. I do self exams due to my late neighbour Cindy hunt that found cancer several times by doing this, unfortunately she lost the battle in 2008 after 3 years of fighting. It ended up going to her brain. She left behind her 4 young children. So in 2008 I started to self exams- found lumps but was told I have fibrous beasts and many lumps- these ones where just nothing. Fast forward to 2014. The lump I felt was big and when at the gym when I was doing chest presses and could really feel the pressure in my chest. I waiting 2 months to make sure it didn't change with my cycles. It didn't. Off to the doctor on April 24. He said better get it checked out but doesn't feel irregular. Then off to the breast clinic at st. Josephs on May 7 th. Went to get a mammogram and always get followed up my an ultrasound due to breast density. While in the ultrasound room the doctor asked my if the lump had gotten smaller cause it had a hard top on it which was a sign that it could be going away. I said no- he said you should probably get a biopsy- we can do it now to save you a trip back. I said sure...go to next photo...
