I was a wreck. I saw my OBGYN (I was due for my yearly anyway). She set me up with a mammogram and ultrasound. I had it done the next day and got the result immediately that everything was ok. This didn't settle my mind at all, I saw a surgeon 3 times and he assured me it was just loose skin from having kids. I still didn't buy it so I begged him to let me have a breast MRI. That came back all clear and I was finally able to move forward. Well fast forward about 8 weeks, I decided to do a breast exam, I got obsessive with it and overly examined for about a week, every day. I ended up causing damage to my breast tissue which as a result caused a lump to form. About 2 weeks later I felt that lump and FLIPPED OUT! I saw my doctor, he sent me for another mammogram and ultrasound. The radiologist said it was just bruising in the breast tissue but wanted to follow up in 3 months. I went back 3 months later and he still felt it was the same thing but because I was so worried about it he decided to do a core biopsy. It came back and scar tissue. Ugh! This began in January and ended in November of last year.
