Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 A friend had a benign lump that would increase and then decrease with her cycle- it was fluid swelling the benign cyst as her cycle would come and go causing tenderness....just like abdominal swelling or other menstrual changes. I am glad you are seeing your doc about it. Much better to know and see what is going on with your body of course!

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hi, I am new here, so let me introduce myself to ya'll...lol. I am in NC and am a RN, but I am a Neuro ICU RN. I have some questions, and know that ya'll will be able to answer me since you have been diagnosed with Breast Ca already. To start, did any of you have breast tenderness and then found a lump? About a week before my last period I had significant breast tenderness that I had never experienced before. I really didn't think much about it and just chalkied it up to hormonal changes. Well, after my period was over and I did my monthly breast exam, I actually could feel a lump where I had never felt one before. I called my Doc, and do have an appt in 2 days. I then noticed that the tenderness decreased, but now I am one week away from starting my period again and the tenderness has once again increased. Any similiarites to anything ya'll have experienced? Thanks for your input ahead of time. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Mine was a boil forming. The cyst came later. Thankfully caught it early enough for antibiotics to work without lancing it. -- Re: New here with a question A friend had a benign lump that would increase and then decrease with her cycle- it was fluid swelling the benign cyst as her cycle would come and go causing tenderness....just like abdominal swelling or other menstrual changes.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 That is exactly how I found mine. Tenderness started right before my period and then when i went to touch my breast I felt the lump. Mine did go away after my period stopped but came back the next month and then didnt go away thats when i went to Dr.I thought the same exact thing you did that my hormones were wigging out. Mine ended up being cancer but in most cases that I have heard it is probably a cyst. Like everyone has told me " Dont worry until you need to " !!!!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 , If this continues or if the lump doesn't go away you should insist on further testing.
