The DU Lounge

I had a lump in my breast back in the 90's. I had 3 young children, and of course, everything goes through your mind. My mother died of ovarian cancer, my grandmother had breast cancer (survived), and my great-grandmother died of uterine cancer. I felt like a sitting duck. It took 6 days to get the results, and it was benign. I was so grateful. It turned out to be a calcified mammary duct. I lived in Port Townsend, WA at the time. My doctor said I was the only one that week of her patients waiting for cancer results that turned out to be benign. I felt like I had won the lottery.
