My mom has just been diagnosed with cystic breast disease -- a big |
|
|
relief, as it was a lump that could have been cancer. Her doctor says |
|
|
she should go off caffeine and chocolate for 6 months, as well as |
|
|
stopping the estrogen she's been taking for menopause-related reasons. |
|
|
She's not thrilled with this, I think especially because she just gave |
|
|
up cigarettes -- soon she won't have any pleasures left! Now, I thought |
|
|
I'd heard that cystic breasts were common and not really a health risk. |
|
|
Is this accurate? If so, why is she being told to make various |
|
|
sacrifices to treat something that's not that big of a deal? |
|
|
Thanks for any information. |
