unknown yet but probably.....

Hi

I have noticed that most advice is that the fibroedonoma’s are diagnosed for ladies under 30.  I am 42 and over the last could of years have been getting more and more cysts within each breast.  Just before my period last month i felt like one of my breasts was going to explode, or something inside was exploding, it was seriously painful. At the end of my cycle, when i have been told by a doctor to check for lumps i found a new one. Obviously I went back to the doctors and was referred for an ultra sound.  They also tried to drain the lump but was unable to get anything out of it but managed a few cells and a bit of blood.  The results of which came back inconclusive.  I am now waiting for a biopsy which will be at the end of this week, i am really trying to keep positive but its now getting to me.  My husband and the family keep telling me that no news is good news so i am really trying.  Although i have about 10 in one breast and quite a few in the other no one has said anything about removing them.  Is this something i should consider.  There hasn’t been any breast cancer in my family so i am not particularly high risk.  I also breast fed both my boys.  What do you think?  Should i mention it.
