Hi all,
i normally hang hang out on heart health forum, following a heart attack in April, and ongoing work on my heart to turn it into less of a time bomb, and more of the lively, useful organ it should be, just doing nice normal heart stuff.
A week and a half ago I had quite complex work done, which required them to do quite a brutal echocardiogram immediately afterwards to check I wasn’t leaking from anywhere that would be quite bad. I’m on lots of very boring drugs since my heart attack, including 2 anticoagulants. This means I’m REALLY good at bruising. So there were no surprises when the hugest bruise developed on my left boob. I hadn’t noticed but DH nearly had a heart attack himself when he saw it (or maybe it was the shock at getting a glimpse of my boobs). Later I had a look and in the flesh underneath it there’s a 2-3cm bumpy hard small sausage lump.
I’m hoping it’s part of the bruise but I spoke to my cardiac nurses this morning and they are doubtful. So I will be making appointment with GP tomorrow. I’ve had a fibroadenoma before, a cyst before and a couple of benign clusters of microcalcifications, and I’m aware 9/10 are nothing to worry about.
it just feels a bit sucky to even have to look into it following more blue light trips in ambulances than I ever imagined, and looking forward to finally going back to work in late August. My family has been through so much with this, I’ve decided not to tell them anything unless I have to. My husband is having a crap time at work too so the last thing he needs is worrying about me even more.
so I’m here for some company whilst I wait to get this over with!
