I had my yearly mammogram today. Oh, the joy of being compressed beneath a plastic plate. Oh yes, crank it down 'just' a little bit further. Now, to hold my breath for just a few seconds...
I found out last year that I had this thing called a 'hamartoma' in my breast. It is a benign tumor that is very rare. Of the tumors found in the breast, only 0.7% of them are hamartomas. Yay for me for being somewhat unique. The problem is that it continues to grow and it is making me lopsided, so to speak. So, next week I go to see the surgeon and figure out when I can get it out of there!
I'm glad at least it's benigh...Wishing you the best with the surgery!

I've never heard of that--thankfully, it's benign. I've procrastinated all summer on making my doctor appt. I need to do that, so I can get all my orders, like for the mammogram. Ugh.
