Seriously? (vent-ish)
So I just need to get this out.
5 years ago they found a lump on one of my breasts. I've gone in annually for a mammogram and biopsy since then to check up on them. 4 years ago they found one on the other breast and said it was close to the milk duct, but was nothing to be concerned about.
So last week I had my annual mammogram and biopsy. They called me today and asked me to come down to their office during my lunch hour to go over the results. Well the lump in my left breast has officially moved and closed off the milk duct. They asked me if I've had any changes in my breast size in the past few months, because sometimes that can have an affect on the placement of the lump. This was with my primary care Dr, so I told them about the pregnancy and loss and that I grew a cup and a half in that short amount of time, and they've only gone down half a cup size since the loss.
My Dr let me know to get myself mentally prepared to not be able to nurse out of that breast. They can only hope that it moves again with growth throughout pregnancy, but not to bank on it. Thanks Doc, I'll worry about that if/when we get pregnant again and I take that baby home and try to nurse.
Or my other option is to get the double mastectomy that he recommended 4 years ago, and then we no longer have to worry about the growth and movement of these or the fear of them turning cancerous someday. The only reason I was against it 4 years ago was because BFing is important to me and something I have a desire to do.
WIN for Brij and her Ta-ta's! Ugh. Tomorrow marks 4 weeks of no drinking, but dammit getting drunk sounds great right about now. Or maybe I should just Google "perky boobs" and pick out some nice ones to show my doc that I want to replace them with.
ETA: On the plus side, my mom's lump they found is not cancerous, and is so small they aren't worried about it. YAY!

I think your mom and the ladies here have all made good points. It's not a guarantee, and it's not urgent, so you have some time to think it over and decide what you want to do. And you are aware and on top of things, which is already a good start.
