Meg, I'd rather you have one boob than cancer all over your body. Besides, i hear that there is a growing cult phenomenon of men who like una-boobs. You'd be a cult favorite.
My aunt has breast cancer, she waited too long and it has spread to her 'noids, liver, bones and kidneys. She was stubborn; her pain could have been prevented. Now she is in her "N" stage of cancer. "N" stage should mean "Not gonna live much longer" stage. Don't do that. Be a una-boob.
Hey Meghan, I know I don't know you that well but I send love to your heart chakra (I'm spiritual like that. Not crystal crunchy, just a student of natural healing methods). The color to meditate on is green.
Anyway, on a more logical note, it could just be a cyst. I have those, and they flare up before my period, and then go back down again. It has actually gotten less painful over the years. Let us know when you find out what's up, okay?
Also, this guy Bryan should learn to appreciate you, damn it. Well it's probably too late and you'll get this message tomorrow or something since it's 3 hours later there, but I'm thinking of you. For what it's worth, I am single but the guy I've been seeing has been a real jerk to me in the past few days. I tried to talk to him, he shut me down. So I have a date this weekend with someone else, hopefully a little more mature. It's just never easy, no matter what path you choose.
Don't even get me started on this Bryan character, just kidding! He needs to learn to appreciate you, damn him!!
As far as the mamogram & cancer my best advice is get checked regularly. The sooner the better. My mother was diagnosed with colon cancer at 32 (yes 32), now do you think I enjoy going to the annual colonoscopy? Nope sure don't but it beats shitting out of my stomach, so how's that for a scare tactic! Yes Meg I know, I have a way with words!
Hope today is better!! :)
