Ok, PET scan showed an enlarged lymph node in my right armpit (definitely have lymphoma) and a mass/tumour/lesion in my left breast (best case it's also lymphoma, fingers crossed it's not breast cancer).

I will be having a core-biopsy ASAP to determine what exactly is in my breast. Hopefully it is a lymphoma because that will mean a single treatment pathway (ie chemo). If it is breast cancer, it will involve surgery and a more complicated treatment pathway (multiple types of chemo).

Either way it's not particularly nice.

Still holding onto my feeling of being utterly blessed that I'm here with my husband and family and not thousands of kms away dealing with it with my DH away on deployment. We're batting for lymphoma because as the dr said, I'm young, I haven't lost any weight (not since I've stopped my gallbladder-enforced diet LOL) I have no symptoms...either way we are going for a CURE.

I believe utterly in the power of my body to heal itself now that I can shine the light of awareness on it (oh and a ****load of powerful medicine).

ETA - anyone remember me writing about my lumpy boob way back when I was pregnant? That's how long it's been there - undetected despite repeated ultrasounds, etc. So there you go.
