Unpleasant lump
Well if that just doesn't make my mind go right to breast cancer. I had my first mammogram last year. Am I supposed to get one every year, now that I'm over 40? I don't even know. Isn't that something they should tell you, when you've just had one. "Okay, all good, see you in a year!" But I don't think they said that, certainly, and I don't remember if anyone said anything about how often I'm supposed to get one. I don't have a history of breast cancer in my family, so maybe it's only every five years, and that's why I don't remember. Who knows, la di da. La di da di da. Unpleasant lump. There's this other lump on my body. It's not unpleasant, nor is it pleasant. It's on my head, and it's just there. I was rubbing my head one day, last year, and I noticed a lump. And I thought, huh, that's odd...it doesn't hurt, and I don't remember bonking my head anyway...so I finally asked my doctor about it, because it wasn't going away, and nothing has determined what it is, exactly, but I think we're currently operating under the assumption that it's a bony growth. Those happen sometimes, and it's nothing to be alarmed about. Isn't that funny? That one's skull would just grow more bone on top of bone? What is the purpose of that? I did have some tests...an ultrasound and a CT scan, and nothing scary was revealed. So now I'm just supposed to monitor it and let my doctor know if it changes. What's funny to me is that I didn't notice it gradually getting to be the size that it is now. One day I just realized I had a lump on my head where I didn't remember having a lump before.
