Re: BREASTHEALTH: Chest Wall or breast mass - fibroadenoma

I had 3 cyst removed on my left breast last 2004 and another 2 on my
right breast last year. Good news is that they are non cancerous
according to my surgeon. Fibroadenomas according to the biopsy results.
The sad thing is the pain after the surgery. My doctor prescribed
actipatch. Instant relief! I noticed less swelling and the incisions
heals twice faster than my first operation. The wounds are healed in
less than a week. I get them at http://www.actipatchonline.com Im not sure if
they are available on drugstores though.
