Oh and I just want to say and clarify that NO, I am NOT pregnant

It was a breast one cause I have this weird thing under my armpit but it's been there a few years. I think it's just a fatty thing, like deposit or something, my dad had one on his back a while ago, although they kinda think it's just boob tissue, but I'm like, it hasn't always been there. Although I have gained a lot of weight lol but it's only one side. Basically a big lump right below my armpit, kinda half under it, half sticking out. It's annoying but at least is soft and they didn't see anything weird inside it like weird lymph nodes or anything so I guess that's good. I might eventually get it removed though just because it's annoying af. But I might try losing weight first and seeing if it goes away. It doesn't hurt or anything and hasn't gotten bigger I don't think but it's annoying.

I get cysts a lot. Went for a standard checkup mammogram a couple of years ago and they found one the size of a walnut and another the size of a lemon. Went in September for another mammogram and the walnut is gone and the lemon is now only a little bigger than a walnut. I've had cysts before and they usually dissolve after a few years.

Ps... if it was a lower ultrasound you would not have been allowed to use the bathroom... your bladder has to be full to the point of bursting for those.

A lemon!? Wow! I think I've maybe had mime at least a few years? I didn't get a mammogram, they just jumped straight to ultrasound for some reason. Can cysts be not actually on your breast? Cause the weird thing is it's like above it/sticks out but then when I lift up my arm it kind of shrinks/disappears and is mostly under my armpit.

True! Although I've also had two pelvic ones and they say to drink a ton but then I think they do say to pee before? Or maybe they take pictures before you pee and then I think let you go pee and do a totally empty bladder one.

Are you all packed up @N F C ? Are you hiring a moving company or doing the move yourself?

@N F C, that breeze that just went through town was me frantically waving at you as we drive down 80. Sadly not enough time to stop, as we have to get our hinies to Torrington.
Signal here not so good ... we’re now past Saratoga and I’m still waiting to post this!

They probably couldn't do a mammogram because of where it's situated. Cysts can occur anywhere in the body.

I know when I had kidney years and years ago it had to be totally empty and I couldn't get it fully empty cause I don't think I drank enough, I was young, and I didn't have to pee and was trying to force myself to go but you really can't more then a teeny bit and I was in there a while trying to but finally gave up and I know she was like you sure it's empty/that's as empty as you can get it? thankfully this time no need to empty it or hold it while it's exploding lol

That makes sense! I didn't think of that! And ahh okay. My dad I think had a massive one on his shoulder for years. He got it removed a long time ago now

But it was nasty

When I went for the ultrasound on my lemon & walnut there was an older lady there that went up to the front desk asking if it would be much longer because she didn't think she could hold it much longer. The receptionist told her to just take a seat and keep drinking water. A few minutes later the poor lady was throwing up water everywhere. I felt so badly for her. Unbelievably I was the only one to help her and clean it up. The staff just came out and put out a wet floor sign after I was done.
