Hi everyone - just here to give you an update - I had a cyst (or "the ugly bump" as I like to call it) removed from my scalp today - evidently these are quite common - and hereditary - my mom had one and DD has one also ...anyway ....the 6 shots of novacaine that they put into the top of my head is head is wearing off now and man does my head throb!! At least that is done.

Tomorrow I go for ultrasound (the result of 2 failed mammograms) - wish me luck!!

I do wish you luck and will say a prayer for you too. Have a positive attitude. Most breast lumps are benign.

I've never heard of a noggin cyst like that! Interesting!

Paula glad to hear that the one today is behind you now. I know that you have to be pretty worried about tomorrows ultrasound. Try not to worry yourself too much over it though. I am keeping you in my thoughts tomorrow!

Hugs, Lor

Ouch, Paula! I can only imagine how your head must hurt! Maybe an ice pack would help. So glad it was only a cyst and not more serious. Funny what we inheirit, isn't it?

Good luck on the ultrasound, hope all comes out negative!!!

Big hugs, Pam

Thanks for the kind words - I will try to post after the ultrasound this afternoon. Picture this - me last night sitting with a bag of frozen peas on my head!! Looked really silly but felt really good.

LOL...but sounds like a perfect thing to do for the swelling. You know I have had a big lump on my head for years, maybe I'll mention it to my doctor next month when I go in. I think it's a fat lump, but annoying. Gabby
