Yuck, I feel sick. Again. Didn't I just have bronchitis 6 - 8 weeks ago? Crap. So I went to Dr. T.
Prednisone and a Z-pack. Routine.

Oh, and you know what? I used to be a fairly straightforward girl, so to speak, but lately my chest looks a little like Marty Feldman. My left nipple just doesn't want to be where it has always been.
Dr. T asks how long it's been like that. I have no idea, but I lie and say about 3 months. "And you are just mentioning this now?" she asks.
I had a mammogram in March, and it came back clean so I'm feeling like this shouldn't be an issue. Besides, my boob kind of hurts and I've always been told/read that cancer doesn't hurt. I've had fibrocystic lumps before and it kind of feels like that... although I haven't had those since I had the kids, and they were never on/in the nipple.
She palpated it and decided to send me for a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound.
