Found: Three lumps along rib cage next to right breast.
Call to the doctor one: nurse requests immediate visit. Panic ensues.
Visit to the doctor number one: she thinks they're cysts. Check back in one month. Panic subsides.
One month later: she's not entirely sure they're cysts. More panic. Please visit general surgeon in one and a half weeks.
One and a half weeks later: Enlarged lymph nodes identified. Panic once again. Doctor says not to worry, he can check in two months but can order precautionary blood test, results to be delivered 24 hours later. Panic says take all of the blood you need, regardless of discomfort and fear of needles, then remains.
24 hours later: Blood tests are all clear.
Lumps remain, but can leave anytime. Please and thank you.

Glad to hear not the C word! we all go right there, I think, and torture ourselves a little. I hate docs and hospitals!
