Boobie Problem

In one of my previous posts I had mentioned that I had to have a secondary mammogram and an ultrasound on my left boobie because the first mammo showed a distinct shadow.
The second one came back and apparently I have a cyst (accumulation of fluid) because the ducts are dilated behind the nipple. Normally this happens to women aged 35-50 who are pre-menopausal and menopausal. Well, folks, at 65, I think I'm beyond that point, don't you?
I swear it's all the chemicals, pesticides, hormones, steroids and antibiotics in our foods today that is screwing with our bodies. Now if for some reason I become pregnant (considering I haven't had sex in 13 years), I'm really going to freak out.
I have to go back for another mammo in 6 months; providing the boob doesn't fall off or something. Or suddenly I have a size D on the left and an A on the right.

I'm with ya there @just4him . What gets me is that I eat out only once a year and that's because my sister comes to visit and she takes me to a restaurant. As long as I had my organic farm, I was good; but with the spinal injuries, I could no longer do it. And why organic food in the stores costs so much is beyond me; particularly when there is "LESS" crap in it.

@just4him I believe you are 100% correct on that.

@jaboUK Nope and they do say it is 'uncomfortable'.

Depending on what happens in the next 6 months @jaboUK , they may have to drain it with a needle.

Me too @TiarasOceanView . Considering all the other stuff that's happened to me, I don't need any more.

@nanette64 My husband has plenty of small problems right now, he has a flu, a herpes on his right eyelid, he has to see the physiotherapist because of a very bad back ache... poor hubby, he is aging.

That sounds pretty painful. Are they going to do anything about it?

It's all going to depend on the progression @Happy2BeMe . If it grows and gets more painful before the next mammo, then they'll have to use a needle to drain the cyst.

@Happy2BeMe I know I should. I'm just not a pill-popping person. But then on the other hand, if it helps, it's worth it.

@nanette64 well I hope that isn't the case. I see Tina on here has the same problem and they told her to take vitamin E.

@SAXENA9 Sorry but I prefer being alone. However, I do appreciate the gesture.

Not to mention the GMO's (Genetically Modified) seeds @JudyEv . That term in parenthesis pretty much explains that we are nothing but guinea pigs for the companies that make the stuff.

My fingers are crossed on the endo @AunBecky . I hate the fasting stuff too. And at only 113 lbs, it's like seriously?

Yes even my grandmother had a cyst many years back and was operated.
Don't worry
I shall pray for you

I imagine the next possible step will be needle drainage @amitkokiladitya . I just wish I knew what was causing the ducts to be dilated.

And my question is why!!! There is no need at all. If you ask me @Kandae11 , it's a new method of population control.
