Lumpy?

Went to Mt. Alvernia Hospital for a follow-up checkup today. Last year 30th Apr, I had removed a fibroid in my left breast. So I'm back to see the doctor after 1 year. At first, I got a slight shock when she was examining my right breast, she said she felt something lumpy. My mind went blank for a moment. Could only managed a "What?" as a reply. Then using ultrasound scan to verify, (phew!) it was just a thick group of breast tissues. Yippee! At least as of now, I don't need to go under the knife again. :P

As for the scar I got from the surgery, not only has it darkened in colour, it has also grown to look like a miniature hill over my skin. It didn't come as a surprise to me as I've got keloid problem. Anyway, the doctor gave me a prescribed cream Elomet to apply over the scar, in a bid to lighten the colour and flatten it. No idea how long it's gonna take before it takes effect, keeping fingers & legs crossed now...
