Not 3TC Related: Breast Cysts

I have a large, sometimes painful breast cyst for about 3 weeks.  Had a mammogram & sonogram this morning.  Everything looks okay, but they want me to see a surgeon to get a 2nd opinion and possibly to aspirate it.  Has anyone had anything similiar and if so, what was your outcome?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Not 3TC Related: Breast Cysts

  • I had this.  It wasn't big enough to aspirate but they did keep their eye on it.  I was worried at the time but tried to keep it in check and listened to the experts who said not to worry.  I think you are wise to get a 2nd opinion and have a surgeon look.  FWIW my mother had fibrous cystic breasts that were aspirated all the time and everything was benign.  Thoughts and prayers are with you.

  • When I was younger (between 18 and 21) I had multiple cysts aspirated.  It was actually just one at a time, but they would aspirate it and it would come back in a few months.  After I went on birth control pills, they never came back.  I guess it was hormone-related.  The procedure itself is no big deal at all, but of course it takes an emotional toll worrying about it.  Keep us posted.
  • Thanks ladies.  The doctor also said it is probably horomone related.  I have an appt with the surgeon next week. 

    Thanks again!
