Hi Jayda,
Just wanted to send you some support. I went thru the same thing when I was 29, found a lump in my left breast, tried to have a biopsy done at the OB/GYN's office but they couldn't get any fluid out (the doc sticks a needle into the lump- apparently it's considered favorable if he can get some fluid out). So I had a mammogram done. I wont' lie, the machine was cold & hurt 'cuz it's squishing your boob on a plate, but at least the doc's had an idea of the size, and it doesn't take that long. When you're young, like me, they may have a hard time reading the films because our breast tissue is denser than on older women, so don't be alarmed if they tell you that they need to remove the lump to be on the safe side. Unfortunately, breast cancer runs in my family so I was scared to death, kept thinking "why me? I'm too young!". So I had to have the mass removed during an outpatient procedure (they couldn't tell if it was cancerous or not without the fluid). I have a faint scar now about 3 cm long at the spot but thankfully, no cancer! They were able to biopsy the mass. I will say the the scar was very ugly, raw & red. So when I got the OK from the doc, I used Curad Scar Therapy patches (can get at CVS, etc) and you can cut them down to the size you want, so I was able to get about 5 strips from one patch. I wore them all the time and they really helped to fade it. I am very pale white and now that it's 6 years later, I can barely see it. If you have the surgery, make sure you have someone to watch the kids so you husband can take care of you. You'll be really groggy & in pain for a few days & won't be able to do any lifting. But it gets better :-) Let me know how it all works out, OK? I"ll be praying for you!
