Oh, and the spot on my chest i was worried about? much to my embarrassed relief, is a skin tag that has an ingrown hair under it. Doc said go nuts with tweezers.

Doc isn't taking chances since I've lost three relatives to breast cancer (one of which was actually a bad combination of chemotherapy and a lupus flare up)
OH. AND I’M GETTING A MAMMOGRAM. Fucking JOY.

so it turns out that my binding has atrophied the muscles between my ribs. Doc says binding really isn't an option anymore. I now have a referral for physical therapy and a prescription for muscle relaxers, and have had about eight tubes of blood drawn. 3 ssts, a red top, 3 EDTAs, and a heparin green top.
I'm getting a full damned chromosome and dna panel. HLA typing, chromosome analysis, and a BRCA+. Along with a gorram rpr, ana, cmp, cbc, and a lupus cascading reflex panel.
@chuckwendig I am fascinated and repulsed.
