So now I wanted to give everyone an update on how I'm doing with my fibroadenomas. I have very large breasts 38 D, and I was hoping to be approved for a breast reduction in conjunction with a surgery to take out my fibroadenomas so that I could get a lot of that breast tissue out. I was just denied yesterday by my insurance company (F&@!% you insurance!!), which is annoying because I have a huge issue with insurance companies in America, but it also means that I will have to rethink my strategy. My doctor is going to do a peer to peer follow up, basically to ask them again if they will do the surgery. I will let you guys know.
Otherwise I'm going to let them grow, which is what I normally do, and when they start sticking out a lot I get them taken out. The only frustrating thing is that the ones in my left breast are already pretty big-they stick out-and the 9 in my right are smaller. So I'm not sure how long I should wait because they don't like to operate on many that are smaller in size. Ugh. I'm trying to stay positive though! I'm also working on dieting and exercising well because I do believe that affects our disease as well.
I meant to add to my birth control post that I do believe that my fibroadenomas have stopped growing since I stopped birth control. They have been relatively at the same size for 5 months now. Ok going to work on homework now, while staying positive:)
Thanks guys for your comments and questions, please keep it coming!
