Hi
Hi I'm Natalie, I'm 38 married with 3 kids. I just had a bad dream about my breast so I asked for a mamagram just to check, the mamagragm came up clear but an ultra sound said it all.

I put my hand on it and it felt like it was kinda sticking out a bit. I had done some stretches earlier, but nothing unusual. However, I took it…
