Confusion/Frustration with BSE's - Cancer: Breast Message Board

supermom3 · 09-09-2007, 08:39 PM

Hi ladies!

Do any of you who do BSE's have a hard time distinguishing between "normal" tissue, glands, ducts, etc. and what wouldn't be normal? (did that make sense?) - I go crazy trying to decipher - any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Hello? Aren't there any other ladies out there who struggle with what feels normal or doesn't feel normal when doing BSE's?

thanks!!!

Hey supermom..well I have had cystic breasts ever since I was a teenager..
When I was about 18yrs old and complaining of pain, my pcp sent me to a surgeon who explained alot to me..he even mapped out my breasts indicating the cysts that he found..so there was always something to look back on.
Ask your pcp, or gyn for help..its so good that you keep up doing those exams..but your right..it does help to know what your feeling!

its your body, ask your Doctors any questions that you need to !
take care,
cj.
