“I went in for an annual mammogram 6 months ago and they found 1/2 inch growth that needed to be rechecked in 6 months,” she wrote. “Today [Tuesday] was my recheck and it didn’t increase in size. I was a nervous wreck for the past 6 months. A very dear friend of mine recently had a double mastectomy so this was extra sensitive.”
"Mine fortunately hasn’t grown and is just a Fibroadenoma," Stern continued.
