I mean it could be anything, it could be stress or rheumatism or muscular, I don't know. They didn't know really. I don't think I had any treatment at all, they just sort of felt my breasts and said that there was nothing to worry about and I suppose perhaps then, then it went, [laughs], to be reassured is very important indeed.
