I've had them off and on my whole life. When I get a flareup I just limit caffeine and it gets better. They can be painful, too.

I haven't let them biopsy anything---I tell the doctor if a lump is still there after a month or two, okay, but they've always gone away.

My wife had stage 3 both sides and after numerous surgeries, chemo and radiation I'm so grateful that she now tests negative, so you understand I'm truly relieved that you and your family will not have to experience the fight.

I had a lump in my breast back in the 90's. I had 3 young children, and of course, everything goes through your mind. My mother died of ovarian cancer, my grandmother had breast cancer (survived), and my great-grandmother died of uterine cancer. I felt like a sitting duck. It took 6 days to get the results, and it was benign. I was so grateful. It turned out to be a calcified mammary duct. I lived in Port Townsend, WA at the time. My doctor said I was the only one that week of her patients waiting for cancer results that turned out to be benign. I felt like I had won the lottery.

I don't think I have 10 though!! Wowza!!

I was told if they get too painful you can have them drained. I haven't had to have that done, yet.

I had a similar experience, but with ovarian cancer, and they cut me open. Endometriosis, not cancer. There's nothing like that wash of relief, though I did have trouble absorbing it. .
