bumping this topic up hoping for updates
on everyone's lumps. Michael--I am sorry
to hear of the loss of your father.
Kindest thoughts and wishes to you.
just_this_once, that's a fun story but
most of us are a little more "with it"
than that, I hope! I studied anatomy in
art school, and Mom4Life and Hudson are
obviously well-informed. What caused us to
go looking for info was the sensation that
something was *unusual*--often occurring
over a short time--when you're 40, you'll
see what I mean! Our bodies that we knew
so well start changing in nutty ways.
Think you're scared at age 22?? (Oh
wait... I remember fearing mortality at
age 22 as well... never mind!)
In my case I was drying off in the locker
room and startled out of my wits by my
reflection in the mirror showing the
xyphoid bump--"what IS THAT?" Looking down
I could see it poking out in a way it's
never done. I spend a lot of time admiring
myself in the mirror so I can guarantee
this A couple weeks
later I overheard a friend of mine age 68,
same locker room, talking about a lump she
had just had checked out--you guessed it!
She said hers is benign and consists only
of cartilage. May we all be so lucky.
Hope to hear from everyone how they are
doing. pdpolaski what was the result of
your PET scan and biopsy? best wishes
