Confession: I Am Lumpy

Yes. It's true. I can blog about this because no one ever really read my old blog so why not start a new one that no one will read! Now I can share all of my deep dark secrets... right?

Anyway, back to my confession. I am lumpy. I found a lump in my left armpit a few days ago and in the few days since I have found it, it has doubled in size. Tonight, there is another one forming. I went to the doctor today, a new doctor that I never met nor was able to do any research on and was told that it's a follicular cyst after he spoke about my breasts all while not even touching or really looking at my lump[s]. Yes. It's true.

I'll explain...

I walk into the doctors office and finally get called back. When the doctor enters, I had on a tank top so he would be able to see my wonderful new friend "lumpy" without me having to get undressed any further. So, I'm sitting on the table with my tank top on and he said "Oh, I see you are on birth control, have any kids?" I told him that I did and that my son was almost 6 months old. He asks if I am breast feeding and I tell him that I was not because my milk never came in. I KID YOU NOT, THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS while looking at my breasts... "With breasts like that, how could you not get any milk?" I give him a VERY WEIRD look and he said, "Oh the stuff I get away with."

At this point, I'm extremely weirded out but have no idea what to do. Was it just his personality?? Who knows. I was already there and had already been humiliated by his comment and I really did not want to wait to get this bump looked at because of my family history of breast cancer. Well, he stands 3 feet away, asks me to lift my arm and says it's a follicular cyst. He didn't touch it [not that I would want him to at that point anyway], he didn't look at it closely, he didn't do anything. I left there feeling disgusting and had no answers. This doctor did call in a prescription for me for an antibiotic. Hmmm... a cyst will go away with an antibiotic? That's new to me!

Anyway, I come home and find there is another lump. So yes, I am lumpy. There you have it... today's confession.
