Dear Jade
As for mastopathy, it is common and normal.
As for the lump, please ask you doctor about someone who can do you lymph drainge which is capable of clearing this lump wthout the need for operations.
When our body gets infected or inflamed for a reason or another, our lymph nodes get inflamed (and the inflamation increase if we get to touch them a lot especially under arms, in the neck and in the joint of the thigh). For quick resolution of this inflamtion, asprin is taken to help in thinning the blood so it passes away and the blockage decreases and usually this happen the first stage of inflamation
The accumlation of inflamaton in the nodes without clearing them may result of these lumps that are full of toxins (I say toxins because the main function of the lymph system is taking all the waste and toxins found in the our blood) The drainge eliminates these lumps completly
Drainge is done by specialised doctors who know the the ''map'' of the lymphatic system and usually done of three sessions according to the case and usually they start with the right side of the body because it is less complicated.
So many body pains (especially joints) and fatigue that have no explained cause are caused by the blockage of the lymphatic system. I have a personal expierence with one of my relatives when i saw her after the first session. I found that half her face (the right side cause they usually begin with the right side) has completly changed, relaxed with less wrinkles than the other left side. It looked as if there is at least 10 years diference between both side of the face. When i asked the doctor for this very noticable difference, he said that once the lymphatic net is cleared the blood rushes to all cells carryog a lot more oxygen. My relative felt also that the drained side has become more light.
If i was not there i wouldn't have believed so, that is why i advice you so before thinking of operation cause all this lymph network is quite important to the body
Find below a photo of this huge network which is under every part of our skin but increase around the genital organs, breast and under arms.
PS: This does not cancel the fact that all women starting the age of 40 should do a mamogram every year and don't stick to a certain age it they have family history
