warning tmi

[LogansMommy]

im a little worried about something this morning when i was getting dressed i noticed one of my boobs had a crust on it (like when i was breast feeding like dried milk kind of but im not breast feeding) im on my period so it could be some weird hormonal thing but my grandma (fathers mother) had breast cancer so it is a little concerning to me

I think you're right that it most likely is a little random milk production. I read somewhere that happens to some gals the rest of their life after having children!!

that said, given family history of breast cancer, maybe you can start with a self-examination. If you are really concerned, schedule a mammogram.

It's probably "nothing", but my motto is, "It pays to be paranoid!" :fingerscrossed

:yeah to Leigh. Have you noticed anything else "off" with the boobies?

no but i am a year and a half away from mammogram time so i think i will call the advice nurse and see if she thinks i should have one given my family history

I hope your advice nurse recommends that you get a mammogram!! Seems like doctor's are sticklers lately for recommending mammograms for gals younger than a certain age (I think 35?).

I'm 32 and my mom's had breast cancer twice and given the history of my mom and even the rest of my family members who have had prostate cancer and other types of cancer, my doctor still WON'T recommend that I get a mammogram!! :( It's so frustrating!! Not that I really want my boobs to get squished and such, but I want to be safer than sorry, ya know?

I hope and pray that everything is okay and that it's just a semi-normal thing for us moms! :) Good luck!
