Things You Probably Don't Want To Hear

Here is something you probably don't want to hear from the radiologist: "I've been looking at these for 30 years, and I've never seen anything like this."

He said that after veiwing the result from my mamogram, and there's a claim I never thought I'd be making. A few weeks ago I rolled over in bed and scratched an itch on my chest. That's whenI felt a solid, pea-sized lump near my breastbone, but definitely in the breast tissue. The doctor said do a mamogram and ultrasound. The mamogram didn't really show anything, but the ultrasound did and that's what lead the radiologist to celebrate my uniqueness. So a needle biopsy was in order, with the good news coming a few days later. It turns out that they think it was simply scar tissue from a previous injury, although I don't ever recall being hit or otherwise injured there.
