Bi And Large

I just got back from a visit to my doctor / GP for an annual checkup. It has been almost 2 years since I went, I'm a slacker I know. I have an endo for most my health stuff, I have a pdoc for my mental stuff, it's hard to work in more dr appointments. But I suppose I do need my cholesterol checked and my ears looked at and the ever popular pap smear and someone I can call if I break my leg or something.

Anyway.

So I find out I have Rhuematoid arthritis, starting in my hands. 33 is pretty damn young. My mom's started in her hands when she was in her mid-thirties. So another auto-immune diagnosis, boo for that.

And

She found a lump in my breast.

So, I have an ultrasound scheduled for Wednesday to figure out more about THAT, and what's going on there. She spent for-fucking-ever during the exam feeling that thing out. I can't feel it myself, frankly, so I suppose it's a good thing I went in. She was big on saying how it's probably nothing and the ultrasound is just precautionary and all the rest, but I don't know whether she means it or whether she says that to everyone in this situation. Both my aunts have breast cancer, my Aunt Lynn is going through treatment right now... but they are both my aunts by marriage. No one in my biological family has any sort of cancer except skin cancer. No one. Ever. Back as far as we can find, nothing. No lung cancer, no prostate cancer, no colon cancer, no ovarian cancer, no lymphoma, no breast cancer. So this is a little out of place and not too worrying I suppose, but then you don't need a family history right.

Anyway I'll be sure to update on Wednesday.
