Monthly exams are done for a reason - especially when a family history of breast cancer is there...

I've had several cysts... what do they feel like? Some have felt like stones, some have felt like spongey balls... some have been small, some have been a little larger... I've generally gone to the doctor right away (they strongly suggest to not wait for any reason) so I don't know if the size ever changed...

the doctors I've been to, have not been able to tell by feel what it is - generally they will do a needle biopsy first, which is really no big deal...

Don't miss that doctor's appointment tomorrow for any reason... and if need be, don't wait on getting a second opinion...

Good luck and good thoughts with you..
