The radiology tech said that I have complex breasts. She described what she meant by saying that some women’s breasts are like a big, blue sky, where you can see forever. Mine are like an overcast day with low visibility. Some women have naturally fibrous breast tissue, which makes self-examination difficult, but in general is […]
