    Just want to run this by all of you ladies who are so wonderful!

    About 4 months ago I found what I thought was a grape size cyst in my Right breast. (previous ca in left stage 1) while I was feeling around I think it popped! next day a large bruise.

    I saw my onc. the next week and she felt it there (suprized me bc I thought it had popped) as well as another cyst in the same breast that I had not felt. 

    Had an US of just the cyst with the bruise (I told them she had felt a second cyst but they said she only wanted them to look at the 1, ugh!) US said it was a hematoma which sounded good to me.

    The two cysts I still feel, the one with the bruise is still there only I think firmer and smaller. My Onc. has checked them with my monthly visits for zoladex.

    I was due for a mamogram and a f/u US at the end of march so we scheduled that.

    I asked my onc. if MRI would be good, this is in the news alot, but she says she thinks that there are to many false pos. with this and you end up chasing shadows.

    My question is, should I have insisted on more testing? Most of the time I am ok with the wait and see approach but sometimes I get a little internal panick about it all.

    With those of you that had a second in the other breast, did it feel like a cyst?

    Any and all comments would be helpful,

    thank you!

    Judy
