almost 6 years agoDiagnosed
Oh No
Went to ob/gyn for pap (every three years). Dr. did breast exam. Very lumpy. He asks, would you like those cysts drained again? Sure I said. Third poke and he turns as white as a ghost (solid, no fluid). This begins my journey.

I met with the breast surgeon. She went over the biopsy (drew picture, very helpful). She shared her opinion with me which was to have the breast removed (4.5 cm, rather small breasts). I made no immediate decision. I went home and started my very extensive research.
