I remember the day I discovered the lump.
Not the day of the eventful diagnosis. Just the day I discovered the lump. It wasn't big, at least to me. It was oval in shape, less than 2cm long and about 1.5cm wide... height wise? Less than 1 cm. Moved a bit when I tried to shift it. The proverbial time stood still as I considered the possibilities. This is my second lump. First one was almost 20 years ago and was benign.
That was Sunday, 19 Oct 2008.
