Has Anyone Ever Been To The Breast Clinic For A Mommogram/breast Screening Before
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I had my GP appointment yesterday and because what feels like my lymph nodes around my armpit and breast are swollen. I was also thinking it could be hormonal as i know breast tissue changes often with PCOS, its just i’ve never suffered with so many swollen lymph nodes for this long before. I noticed them in January. Feeling a little drained and deflated.

A myPCOSteam Member

I literally feel like a menapaise woman
