time again to squeeze your lemons for signs of breast cancer



time again to squeeze your lemons for signs of breast cancer...
i'll be at the uc san francisco breast care center tomorrow checking out a lump. today, i picked up my old mammogram + ultrasound films in berkeley from alta bates to take to my ucsf appointment. i wrote the radiologist the following note on a copy of his report that my breast cancer lump was not a tumor. "i hope you'll be more careful when reading tests of breastfeeding mothers. my lump was an invasive ductal carcinoma tumor that grew to 10x8cm, because i thought it was a benign cyst, because of your findings. i had a mastectomy + chemo + i'm lucky to be alive."
