A variant on my 2017 invention:
Knock, Knock
Who's there?

Can't surprise me, I've seen this lump
On the center-left in this photo is the dimple and scar from the 2017 biopsy.
On the center-right is a lump which I noticed two days ago, 2022.
So this isn't a diagnosis, but the standard questions at every vigilance visit have always begun with "any lumps or bumps?" The answer just 10 days ago was "no," though, upon finding this one while fidgeting on a video call, I had a sense that I'd felt this before, just below the threshold of consciousness.
If this were a Winnie the Pooh book, it would have a chapter heading like:
In which Pooh finds a lump and sends a note to his friend, Piglet
