breast size chnages
before turing 40 and even after 2 kids and breats feed ing for a year I was a 32B. Somewhere right around 40 I grew hips and my chest swelled to a 34 C for 2.5 weeks during the month and 34D the week before zi was getting my period. I "complianed" to the ob/gyn who said only you gain in the chest and hips - noone ever took it seriously ..
AT 43 I was diagnosised with stage 1 two peas and pencil point -
when my surgeon looked at the pathology report she said that the tumors were there b/w 3-5 years - almost to the point when i noticed the chnage in my chest.
Directly following surgery I started tamoxifen and within 2 weeks noticed my chest was shrinking - e-mail surgeon who said she knew it would work but did not think that fast - I was then switched to arimidex and lupron and started with Herceptain -wouldn't you know it - gained 10 pounds and my chest is back to where it was pre arimidex but withnone of the pain and swelling I used to get. Had an MRI in may which showed everything was fine - time will tell I guess.
