Do not DARE to be ashamed!!! Good lord, if that was the case I definitely would never show my face around here! We all worry when things go sideways and this is exactly the place to share those concerns - with people who understand. Glad to hear you and the doctor are keeping a close eye on things, but having said that, if - in the next two months - you notice anything including changes in this lump make an appointment immediately and go back.

No one here wants to overly alarm you, but many of us have been through testing and testing and retesting of the same area before a diagnosis is made so we need to be our own advocates. The doctors appreciate and understand our diligence.

In the meantime, breathe a sigh of relaxation and enjoy today.
