I mentioned a while back that I had a less-than-perfect mammogram, I had to go back for more tests, and I was scared. Well, I had an ultrasound, and another mammogram, and the verdict is: fibrosis. Which apparently means that I just tend to have these benign growths that are nothing to worry about. As I speculated before, just the price of having so much breast mass.

Now I can go on with my life. Thank you to all who expressed concern.

## Blessed be!

Excellent, Rilchiam! What a relief.

Mammograms are probably the greatest boon to women’s health since – what? Chocolate?

What can I add except to say Mrs. Pluto and I have been through that a time or two with the same result. It’s such a relief, except it’s like hitting yourself on the head with a hammer just because it feels so good when you stop!

Congratulations!

That’s really good news, though I must admit that only NOW am I realizing that you are not **richiam** , for obvious reasons.
