Fibrous Mastopathy

Here's a new one for me. My lump has been diagnosed as totally benign, and is labeled as "Fibrous Mastopathy". Apprently this occurs, not frequently, but not rarely in diabetic women. I found a great note - for any women interested, particularly fellow Type 1 Diabetics - google "fibrous mastopathy diabetic" and choose the one labeled "One lump  or two".

I was told this is quite possible to happen again in my lifetime, with all of the attendant testing required.

Too much fun! But my answer finally came and was as good as I could have hoped for.

Thank you ladies for your wonderful support during this very stressful couple of months!

Keep in touch!

i went to the dr's today and found out that i have fm.  but i am not diabetic.  but he did tell me that my mammograms can turn up as malignant masses.  should i get tested for diabetes

That's interesting. I've never heard of it. I'm glad it is benign though. May you luck out and not have another one in your lifetime.

I don't think it's specific to diabetes - I think Diabetics just have a higher chance of getting it. However, (says the diabetic in me) if you have a history of diabetes in your family, by all means be tested! :-)
