I Know My Breasts Are Too Big For Society
I’ve thought about posting this for a while, but I always hesitated to do it because it’s very personal. I’ve mentioned it privately to a couple of people here, but I’ve decided to share this more publicly after seeing a few stories over the last month or two from people experiencing sudden, unusual, and severe breast growth and are concerned that they might have a serious problem.
A few years ago, my wife died of cancer, after about two years of fighting following a diagnosis of stage IV diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. There were many symptoms and problems caused by that, but here’s the one that’s relevant here: starting about six months after being diagnosed, over the last year and a half or so of her fight with the disease, she also suffered from gigantomastia.
It’s an extremely rare symptom of lymphoma, but having periods of very rapid and severe breast growth can happen in some rare cases, and it happened to her several times over about a year and a half. It can also happen in very rare cases in some autoimmune disorders, too.
Gigantomastia and breast hypertrophy are very serious and extremely rare medical conditions in and of themselves. More than likely, someone who has it doesn't suffer from it as a result of cancer or an autoimmune disorder. However, there are those few, even more rare instances where it is caused by something else.
And that’s why I’ve decided to say this now – if you are reading this, and you’re experiencing sudden, unexplained, abnormal, rapid, and severe changes in the size and weight of your breasts, PLEASE make sure you get to a doctor A.S.A.P. Have bloodwork done. Make sure your white cell counts are normal.
More than likely, you probably don’t have something like gigantomastia, macromastia or breast hypertrophy – they are extremely rare. More than likely, even if you do, it probably isn’t being caused by something else like lymphoma – that’s even more rare. But, it can and does happen. And, if in the incredibly unlikely chance that’s what’s going on, the earlier it’s identified and the earlier treatment can begin, the better your chances of survival will be.
I’ll leave it at that, and hope that at some point making this available here might end up helping somebody.
