I don't know if I have NF, but here is what has me concerned. Last
October I noticed that I had four cafe au lait spots under my left
breast. Since then, that four has become a cluster of larger spots,
with another six developing. I'm 25 years old.

I've had problems with my breasts for years. I went to a doctor once
and she told me it was cystic breast disease. She wouldn't do a
mammogram or anything, and it still bothers me. I'm worrying that the
cysts could really be tumors, seeing that they have never disappeared.
In addition, the is a bunch of cancer up both sides of my family, my
mother is being diagnosed for MS or some other grey matter disease and
my aunt has Neurofibromyais (sp?). Does anyone know if any of that
could up my chances?

Really, I have no idea if it's normal to go from no spots to four to
thirteen in less than a year and if that has ever happened to any of
you. Because of all the issues in my family, I'm really scared but at
the moment I don't have medical insurance so I can't go to the doctor
until later this year when I get it. I have severe psychological
issues, I was born pigeon toed, though it was corrected, and have
scoliosis they said comes from having one leg longer than the other.

I know if it's NF that it doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to have
problems, but if anyone has any knowledge about this stuff, I would
really like to hear from you. Thank you.
