My doctor told me my breasts might be fibrocystic; is that bad?

Very common: Fibrocystic changes are not clearly related to risk of malignancy. They are usually picked up on biopsy for suspicious findings on mammography. These findings are benign. Some women have a tendency to form fibrocystic tissue over time, and this makes breast cancer screening less accurate for them. I hope this helps you.
