Jill- I thought to inform you more since you've been so supportive to me through everything.

I had some xray/tests done at the hospital today regarding the breast lump. The radiologist is not sure what it is so they are going to remove it next week. I'm really nervous!!

The only thing I can think of (and this is birth control related) I'm sure I asked before but I've been on MonoNessa you know for the past year or so and that has a higher estrogen than the last pill I was on. Could that have caused this or is this just fluke thing?

Thanks, Jill! I appreciate you so much & thanks for the website article too... that is a great source of information!

My doctors have not said anything regarding bcp. I do though take immune-suppressants and checked with my prescribing doctor today to see if the lump could be a side effect and the doctor said no.

The breast doctor I asked too and this doctor said the same thing (no) and that lumps just happen and she's seen lots of people who take no medicine and others who take a lot of medicine and it doesn't matter.

You know me though... always wanting to find out the reason for the cause.

Thanks again-- will keep you updated on the results. Right now they are thinking it is Intraductal papilloma (or at least the radiologist and this breast specialist have said those words a few times).
