Like you I no longer have breasts, but I still feel most of my cheest and arm pits for unual lumps. I found a lump in my thigh, just above the knee. I was told it was a fat pad and the doctor told me to stop worrying. It did not seem to grow very much, but it did seem to be firmly attached and it constantly worried me. I finally convinced my doctor to take it out. He said O.K. but we would do it in his office because it would not take much time. Three hours later, I was finally ready to go home. Local anesthetic only, and tissue to the Lab. I could tell by my doctors face this tissue was not what he expected. One week later, verdict was in DERMATOFIBROSARCOMA. A couple of years later, I had another lump on my right rib area. Everyone was more concerned and it had to be taken off in the hospital with prep for more surgery if it were cancerous. This time LIPOMA. Everyone had a big smile.
A few years ago a small reb pimple on my right collar bone. It was kind of ugly, and been around for a while. I was at the dermatologist, and asked if she could take it offl the chain on my locket was kind of bothering it. We took it off and sent it to the lab just as a precaution. Guess what SQUAMOUSCELL CARCINOMA. Who would have thought. Who found these cancers? How were they found? I fully believe in MRI'S and X-RAYS, but as I said, Cancer is sneaky, and any type of observation is good observation. If something is worrying you GET IT OFF, THROW IT AWAY.
