Has anyone else had any problems?? It doesn't seem like a very talked about thing outside of trans woman are no more likely to get breast cancer than a cis-woman.
Well I'm booked in for a biopsy next week, I don't feel good about it and I don't think anyone really understands how I feel. I'm not comfortable with the size or necessarily the shape of my breasts but it is a huge comfort having them and I'd rather not have a needle stabbed in them when they still could be growing.
I found a strange lump before Christmas, it really scared me. I was 2 years 11 months on estrogen, age 27, I'm currently over 3 years on HRT. I've come all this way and I feel really let down by my body. I saw the doctor about it and I got referred to the ultrasound clinic, the day before that appointment I found another smaller lump on the other side.. Seriously why is this happening! Getting the scan wasn't as bad as I thought, that was kind of cool I'll probably write about it when I have more time. Now they want to do a biopsy and I'm freaking out! I hate how alone I feel, I wish I had someone to come with me to the appointment but the man I want there is stuck on an electronic tag in another city and in a way I want my mum there but she isn't supportive of my transition.
I know other women go through all this but I don't think they have the same relationship to their body as a trans woman might have, I just can't put what I'm feeling into words.
Anyone have any thoughts? Any lumps and bumps?? Why is this never talked about when starting on hormones!
