A few weeks ago, I discovered a lump in my breast. I went for a mamogram and they found something there. Tomorrow morning I am going for an untrasound. I have had these before and they turned out to be just cysts, but one was a small tumor that was benign, thankfully. Be praying that this one is just a cyst like the others. I don't want to have to have surgery or a biopsy.

I am not really that scared, just a little nervous.

I have had three before. The Dr said what they were but I do not remember. I hope it is nothing. I was 22 when when I got the first one. They all were before I was 30. Good luck to you.

that it's nothing serious. I had a lump once but it was a firbo angenoma or whatever those things are called. Basically it was a benign fibrous mass. I think it comes and goes and sometimes my breast will ache where it was.

The first one I had in my late 20's early 30's was a fibroma that was removed. The others were just cysts that either went away on their own or one the doctor drained with a needle. I really think that this is just a cyst but you can never be too careful when it comes to lumps in the breasts.

Mine was fibrodemea or something like that and the other Cysts. They said cut back on Caffiene because that can cause lumps. I was very scared when the first one came. My Mom had one and it was Breast Cancer.

Yeah, my doctor said the same thing about the caffiene. He's the one that found it during a physical. I never think about doing self breast exams although I really should.

Under the cats, mostly.
Oh that's not fun! That it turns out to be something harmless like a cyst or a lump of fat in the wrong place!
No matter what happens though, you'll always have us to keep you up!

Good luck to you, I had something like this many years ago. I did have a biopsy and luckily it was nothing.
