Hi.
My mom also have this kind of disease or cyst. And she's been suffering from it for the past 3 years. Her lump looks almost the same with the one on the left, swollen, tender with pus or nana in local language. After the pus has "ripen", fluids starts coming out and then we have to ask her take antibiotics then go to the doctor.

It reoccurs almost every February, we always have her check her breast, endorsed to a mammogram, then biopsy then continuous medication. Then after several month, the lump would go away. Then again, After a year, it would reoccur again.

I know how hard it is for my mom, shes still young (40). And it troubles her so much. I once heard that her doctor says that she has to have her breast cut off to prevent it from recurring. Which I am not considering right now due to the fact that It might worsen the situation as told by the other women.

She smokes. And has diabetes. It is also painful to lift her arms.

Anyone who can shed some light to these, or any who have experienced this who continued to be okay.
I really want to give my mom hope about her situation.
