Which would be worse, other people knowing and you having to face whatever it is or finding out too late that it is something serious? It most likely isn't at your age, but it is still nothing to mess with. Talk to an adult and so what you need to do! Emma-

My email is Mom2NoahNLillian@aol.com and I would love to talk with you. Everything follows yours EXCEPT I am currently waiting on the results of my biopsy (which the doctor recommended for precaution). I found a lump in my left breast. Went to my doctor and she sent me in for an ultrasound and mammogram. The radiologist believes my lump to be a oily, fat necrosis. Was recommended to come back in 6months. I had a mother die of cancer (non-breast), a father recently staged 3 esphogial cancer, and a history of post-menopausal breast cancer. A paternal grandmother (survived but developed cancer in another region), and a paternal great-aunt (died from breast cancer). I discussed with my doctor that I was concerned with the finding. Something about the words "probably benign" didn't sit right with me. I was then referred to a breast expert. I go to the appointment thinking she would say that the radiologist was right that there was nothing to be concerned. What I got was that she trusted the radiologist's opinion (sounds promising), but then after doing a breast exam blindsides me with wanting to do a biopsy (for precaution). She says its probably nothing, but just to make sure. The things was my 3-year-old attended my appointment with me because I thought it was going to be an in and out thing. I'm scared. I'm worried. I keep telling myself I have a lot of good on my side (statistics right...). But, I can't help but have this bad feeling. I read articles and briefly my hopes are high, but quickly that ugly monster rears its ugly head. Am I crazy? Jill I read your post and felt like I had written myself.
