The curious lump in my chest that has been consuming so much of my attention the past couple of weeks turns out to be a not very common, but completely benign, fatty lump. Not even a cyst. Simon, the very sweet ultrasound technician, was prompt in telling me that it certainly wasn't cancer. Then he showed me on the monitor exactly what it looked like. To be honest I could scarcely tell one grey bit from another grey bit, but once Simon said "It's not cancer" he could have been playing a rerun of "I Love Lucy" on the monitor for all I knew.
So yay. On the way home I bought a pig out dinner of some good porcini mushroom pasta, pesto, good parmesan, and a yummy bar of good dark chocolate. Tonight we live a little.

That's great to hear, Andrew. Chocolate well-needed!
Good news indeed!
I just went through the same thing. I was told a cyst, then a benign fatty lump after the ultrasound. I went for a "lumpectomy" as we called it, and traded it for a scar and a large bill.
Thanks John.
Tyson! We're lump sisters! I've elected to leave mine as is, because it's in the space just under the sternum it's not really noticeable. If it gets any bigger I might elect to have it out but it's not necessary so far... especially if it means a large bill...
Fantastic news. Perhaps just one more bar of chocolate ;)!
Great news!! Hope you enjoyed your celebratory dinner and dark chocolate!
