Mazeltov, from a guy who has a mom who had a mastectomy(and a husband of two wives who both had cysts and scares). It’s not just for women. ---

A friend of mine at work had one of her cysts “tagged.” There’s a teeny weeny bit of metal injected into the cyst, so the next time she goes for her exam, the doctor can say, “What the hell is that oh, got it. Just a cyst.” Medical advances are wonderful. Chances are, they’ll catch it in time and you’ll survive. Congrats that it’s nothing! ---

Ah, cysts. One of the few times you’ll be happy to have a sac of pus in your breasts. Good news, **LifeOnWry**! Happy to hear it! ---

Happy Hooters back atcha! 🙂 (My mom had a cyst like that – she figured out it was right where her bureau met her breast, apparently she often walked into a corner that jutted out) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-a-lump-talk-me-off-the-ceiling-girly-tmi-im-sure/417193.md?page=1)
