what is PCOS? Iam twenty nine years old and have had so many lumps in my breast that I cant keep track of them all. I've been told Iam too young to worry about them,but I have two small children and I do worry about them. I cant really find any information of Fibroid cystic breast disease wich is what my doctor oce said I had. I've read on the net that the younger you are wen you start your period increases your chances of developing breast cancer, does anyone else know anything about this conection? I was eight and a half when I started my period.
