I had a lump last year, because my baby sister has breast cancer they decided to do a lumpectomy immediately. While I spent several weeks terrified it worked out ok, the lump was benign, it was a fat necrosis caused by a severe car wreck i'd been in 7 years earlier. It had started way deep in side and worked its way up to just above my nipple, it was a very hard thing about the size of a regular pencil eraser.
Actually its the best thing that could have happened to me because it finally led to me being able to have my breast reduction surgery (from a 44 F to a 40 C)
IF you end up having a lumpectomy, honestly there is nothing to it. I chose to have it done in the hosptial using a "twilight" cocktail...they said I would be awake but wouldnt care about crap lol I was having an allergy problem that day and they also gave me an injection of benadryl which knocked me on my ass and I slept thru the entire thing. My sister had a lumpectomy done with just a local and was able to drive herself home. So if you have to have one, try not to be totally terrified about the procedure, its waiting for the pathology to come back thats the hard part.
I hope you'll keep us up to date with whats going on, its possible it could be several things that arent serious at all.
