No problem. Also, I forgot to add. I buy full coverage heavy padded bras. If I'm going to be cleaning the house or doing a lot of moving around, I make sure I wear one. If you hit your lump the wrong way, whew-wee does it hurt! Trust me on this one, and get yourself the ugliest padded bra you've ever seen. It will save you a lot of ouches.

I'm terribly thin, and I wasn't exactly blessed in the breast. One seems to hang out right above a bone, so when I hit it I do a "did something break?" check.

Another thing, if you ever change doctors for any reason make sure you have it down on paper somewhere whether it is solid or not. If it is solid, make sure your new doctor knows it. Non-solid masses seem to add a twinkle to the eyes of many doctors I've seen who want to extract it with a needle. I had one tell me I didn't know for sure if mine was solid (I did know, he was just an idiot) and try to extract a solid mass. It didn't hurt much, but it made me mad.

Anyway, keep in touch and keep padding over your lump!
