mastitis

It sounds like everyone has had the same story as me except I had an inverted nipple (which was abnormal for me), was diagnosed with GM, had a biopsy with ultrasound, and  just had an excisional biopsy a couple of days ago. I'm still waiting for the Lab test results. Does anyone have a list of websites or info. where I can learn more about this disease?

Thanks for the interest. I should've written that I have been diagnosed with Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastistis a month ago. I've been researching this topic but there's limited research. I've been making a list of questions to ask my doctor when she gives me the results to my excisional biopsy tomorrow.  I guess I'm jumping the gun, since I don't have all the facts. My mother died of Breast Cancer over 30 years ago and which makes me concerned even though I've been very healthy.  In the meantime, I'm trying to stay positive. Do you have any leads on Mastistis?
