Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Gins ..thanks I think my friend thought I would know something because of what I went through this year with the numorous mammos and biopsy....when I said they attributed it to the Sd she was a fountain of questions about fibocystic breasts and autoimmune disease ....as she has fibro...I tried to explain to her mine were calcifications and they never said fibrocystic anything to me....my calcifications were not deep in the breast tisssue but not actually in the skin....so I think I was just confusing her more....so the links and info that have been posted might explain it better to her...I know that they tell you before the mammo no caffine 7 days before the test so there has to be something to the coffee ...soda connection....I am hoping the info provided will make sense to her as I have never been told I had fibrocystic breasts....thank you all for your input and I hope it will give her a better understanding as I think the term scared her...and she had a hard time with me saying this is not uncommon....as my 23 year old daughter has this problem and the doc didint seem to think it was a big deal and basically cautioned about caffinated drinks ..and coffee....working night shift at the hospital she consumes quite a bit of both....thanks to you all for all the input...Kathi in OK --- <Matsumura_Clan@...> wrote: > More links on fibrocystic breasts: > > http://region4.tricare.osd.mil/breast_health/Fibrocystic.html > http://www.healthcare.ucla.edu/pls/lumps.htm > http://www.wholehealthmd.com/hk/remedies/disp/0,1459,464,00.html > http://www.twbookmark.com/books/8/0446676209/chapter_excerpt9099.html > > > > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Very interesting . According to the first link, quitting coffee doesn¹t help, yet doctors still advise us to stop drinking it to get relief. > More links on fibrocystic breasts: > > http://region4.tricare.osd.mil/breast_health/Fibrocystic.html > http://www.healthcare.ucla.edu/pls/lumps.htm > http://www.wholehealthmd.com/hk/remedies/disp/0,1459,464,00.html > http://www.twbookmark.com/books/8/0446676209/chapter_excerpt9099.html > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
