Every woman has: to be concerned to develop breast cancer , you are no exception with benign breast cysts , incidence is slightly higher than those who has no fibrocystic disease . Best option is follow the instructions of your doctor , go for regular follow up visits At 22 incidence is very very low , than some one at 62 age is no exception for cancer.
