Another lump...but prone to cysts

I will try to keep this short. I finished treatment a year ago last May. Before BC I was always prone to cysts and I thought tamoxifen might have calmed things down. I found another lump...a cyst with part solid matter. I'm really trying not to overthink things but it seems I can't just "be done" because every lump now deems further scrutiny and I'm getting exhausted. This will be my 4 biopsy since treatment ended. I'm really doubting my decision to only have done the lx...but a mx seemed too radical for me. If you are cyst prone how did you cope?? Everyone around me is kind of in disbelief that I seem to always getting something checked...but I don't know what else I can do????

    I had BMX and have also had to have a lot of lumps checked. My body makes a lot of scar tissue. It is stressful

    I just had my mamo/us today and on my right site they "think" it's a cyst, but did a biopsy to be sure. I'm in waiting mode. I'm five years in Oct. I wasn't expecting this. I had a uni, this is on my "good" side which usually does have a cyst or two but never had to have a biopsy.

    It all sucks! But I guess better to be checked than be sorry later.

    My cyst turned out to be just fiberous (?) tissue in the cyst. You know while waiting on the results I did ok. If I really stopped and focused on it I would get stressed, but then I just tried not to do that.

    I hope all is well with yours too. Anyone waiting for results know that either way you will be ok.

    I think I'm getting worried that this is my new normal. I was cystic before but I don't feel like I can sit on things like I use to. For years I was told it was nothing til one day it wasn't. I just switched to a new BS...who seems to be more on top of things. Crossing my fingers..
