I had a hysterectomy Jan.08'. Two weeks after my hysterectomy a painful lump showed up in my breast next to the nipple. It was painful and swelled up to the point where I could see it without touching it. It was very sensitive. However, it went away after 1 1/2 weeks. I am now on an all natural hrt that has done wonders for me without all the dangerous side affects of clinical hrts. What I am wondering is, should I be worried, what could have been the cause? Is there a link between breast lumps,cysts, cancer due to hormone imbalance since it showed up so soon after my hysterectomy. I do have fibrocysts. Also, is there a program I could get some assistance to get an ultrasound to have it checked out even though there doesn't seem to be anything there anymore.
