Marsha, it must have been "extra breast" week! I saw a woman with a lemon
sized "extra breast" under one arm only. When I looked carefully I think I
could see an extra nipple (but flat) between the extra breast tissue and her
normal nipple - the nipple didn't connect with any ducts. Explanation and
reassurance is all that is necessary usually.

Some good news - Prof Peter Hartmann spoke at the RACGP national conference
(ie conference for family doctors) last week (it's amazing what can happen
when you get yourself onto conference committees!)
