Got my Results Back...I have lumpy boobs
Never thought I'd be happy about having lumpy boobs. After a MONTH of waiting, I found out I have fiber cystic breasts, and the bioposy found no trace of cancer or pre-cancerous cells. Yippee!
When I was told I had fiber cystic, I went to Ask.com and asked, what the hell is fiber cystic breasts? Found out that at one time or another 50% of women will have this. It is cysts in the breasts (I have a slew of them), sometimes scar tissue, and also involves the milk glands swelling with water before your period. Man, now I know why I'm so busty that week.
My mother, sister, and I all have this condition, so 100% of our household has suffered from this at one time or another. I couldn't find any causes for it. (some tried to link caffine, but that doesn't look like it has been proven) All I know is my cat loves to jump on my lap for petting and does her "happy paws" routine and seems to be able to find every one of those cysts and stomp on them...repeatdly.
Despite that torture, I'm glad I have lumpy boobs (as my Dr. calls it, go figure) and not cancer. The fear of that was in the back of my mind all this time and it is a BIG relief to find out I'm ok.
