I’d felt the lump for a few months but I wasn’t in the habit of rubbing my boobs so when I noticed it in the shower I’d think, Hmmm, is this a lump? Is this different than my other breast? Does it feel the same as the last time I noticed it?
Feel it, forget about it.
I didn’t mean to forget, it just wasn‘t greatly affecting me on the daily.
As the months went by, it became clear that it was a lump. I couldn’t tell how much bigger it had gotten after a few months but it was not getting any smaller.
My hubby and I talk about everything but this, I didn’t mention. I don’t even think it was conscious but my subconscious likely knew it might be something. Something I didn’t want to talk about or walk towards.
Around that time, I was having dinner with a long-time bestie. I just kind of threw it out there. So I’m pretty sure there’s a lump in my breast. And it definitely feels different than the other one.
