Thanks for that, I know you're right about it being a good idea. My mom says when I was little, she had a lump and had to go for a needle biopsy. It wasn't cancer, but that's how she found out that she has "fibrocystic breasts"--I'm not sure what those are, but they're not harmful as far as I know because she didn't need surgery.

As for the stress, yeah, this summer was the most stressful time of my life. It's just kind of embarrassing to have a new doctor see you at your absolute worst, but I'm over it. She seemed okay when I called her on Wednesday--which, by the way, was for her to tell me that I do NOT have cancer, woohoo!
