A couple weeks ago, I found a small lump in the upper right corner of my right breast, just below my armpit. I thought maybe it was a swollen lymph node or something so I waited a week or so to see if it went away on its own but it didn't, so I went to see my Dr. (I was just there for my annual exam on March 29 and she hadn't noted anything during the breast exam so I'm not sure how long this thing has been hiding in there.) She gave me an order for an ultrasound, which I had done yesterday. The radiologist also insisted on doing a mammogram, which showed calcifications near the lump. They said they weren't sure what the lump is but there are things about it that "concern" them, so they're sending me for an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the lump and stereotactic-guided biopsy of the calcifications on Monday. I wasn't terribly concerned about it at first but I kind of am now. They kept stressing to me the importance of getting the biopsies done "sooner rather than later" so it's all very unsettling. I pulled a few cards this morning and the reading was even more unsettling, but please tell me what you think. I used RWS with reversals.
WHAT is the lump? 7 of Pents - This card suggests it's something slow-growing and has probably been there a while without my noticing.
Is it benign or cancerous? 3 of Swords - Yikes. This is not what I wanted to see here. 3 of Swords suggests heartbreaking news, possibly something physically and emotionally painful. At best, it could just represent my upcoming biopsy but given the question, I'm not inclined to think it's benign.
What will the results of the biopsy be? Ace of Wands Rx - I see a thumbs down here. Probably not good news.
What further treatment will be required? Hierophant - A specialist. Maybe an oncologist?? Best case scenario, I'll just need to follow up with my regular doctor.
I pulled 3 other cards but they weren't as relevant to the spread as they were merely my SO's feelings on the matter (his reaction when I told him seemed to be fairly indifferent so it makes me wonder if he even gives a sh** that this is happening to me).
All the cards in the spread equaled a quint of 19, so the Sun seems to suggest a happy ending, but the cards themselves are not as happy. The shadow was Judgement, so this could be something huge. Possibly life-changing. Maybe all will be well in the end, but the spread in its entirety has me worried. The quint of the 4 cards listed above is Temperance, so possibly this could mean treatment with some type of drugs (i.e. chemotherapy). I hope I'm just over-thinking it, though. Anyone else have any different takes?
