Champion  10550    Austin, Texas |  Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2014 CLOSED Thread 2Originally posted by Asalzwed Okie dokie. So, generally I am healthy. The breast lump isn't a huge concern but I have a follow up given my family history and I'm going to need surgery for the other lump (minor) which I will schedule here shortly. She had a bunch of bloodwork done too. Good news, although I was a complete baby, I didn't pass out when they took the blood. Also, it didn't really hurt at all Another thing, my doc was concerned about my period. The frequency (every 2.5 weeks), the length (>7 days) and the fact it's quite heavy. She recommends me getting on birth control and skipping my period as she thinks it's negatively affecting my energy levels and quite frankly my mental health (my feedback.) Interestingly enough this has increased since running, not decreased. We were laughing about my unlucky circumstance vs say amenorrhoea (don't worry, it was a joke!) The good news is, that could explain my general fatigue with a fairly simple fix. But we'll see what the blood tests say, too.
Soooo, that's that! Really glad to hear that you're generally healthy and that you're going to get the lump taken care of - but man, does that ever suck about the periods. To be having that frequency would definitely have an effect on your energy levels, etc. I hope it really is an easy fix for you - I thought it was the greatest thing in the world when I never had to deal with "Aunt Flo" ever again! |

Soooo, that's that!  I am one of the lucky people who get to have follow up ultra sounds every 6 months to make sure nothing has changed. Hopefully, only another 1.5 years of it before I can go back to a more normal exam schedule. And I don't have any family history of breast cancer. I can only imagine what they'd want me to do if I did! Seriously, I'm glad you are getting everything checked out. It's a bit of a hassle on the front end, but it would be much worse if there was an issue that wasn't addressed . |

Soooo, that's that! Glad you made it to the Dr. and survived the experience. Cool that you are getting the lump taken care of. Funny about the needles... I heard a lady on the radio the other day talking about how she was carrying on about the needle when she went in to have her baby. The nurse raised her eyebrows and said "you know you're about to be a mother, right?". Ha. As for the period. Ick. No doubt it is affecting your training and energy levels! Glad you'll be getting it taken care of. |

Soooo, that's that! Good for you for getting in there! That's half the battle for blood babies (I hate the needles!)...knowing that making that appointment probably means tests and poking and prodding Hopefully taking care of these things will get you back to your full kick-azz self. Will be crossing fingers and toes for you.

Breast lumps are nothing to sneeze at and the frequent periods sound awful. Maybe you should go in for a tune-up more often (says the pot who calls the kettle black). Way to be strong for the blood draw. |

Soooo, that's that! I'm glad that you went. I'm glad that this could be a relatively easy an inexpensive solution. I am also a baby about bloodwork, mostly because I have tiny veins that collapse when poked and several times this has resulted in "digging." I fear the dig! |

I probably would have liked her but I didn't want to take time off twice just to get a check up. Plus they were booked way out and I need test results for work |

Which, when I was growing, meant blood tests every 3-6 months. Needles don't phase me, and I have great veins. |

It's a bit of a hassle on the front end, but it would be much worse if there was an issue that wasn't addressed . I have been on birth control for years for the sole purpose of regulating my period. I NEVER knew when mine was coming, it was very random, very long, and very heavy. It was a pain. And for all of you regarding going to the doctor: please don't miss regular checkups. My best friend never went to the doctor, until she started having really bad back pain. It was metastasized breast cancer, which could have been found early with a regular check up. She died at age 42. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put on your big girl (and boy) panties and go. |

On time, lots of people watching on lake, police at all turns/intersections, roads blocked nicely, smart people at the stations, easy to spectate course.
