cyst, cyst , cyst and cyst. Yes - you read it right - I have about 4-5 1cm cysts ...what a relief. Funny that I never felt anything - always was that side that would hurt at period time. Anyway - they do suggest both mammogram and ultrasound from now on. Oh...another thing - the lovely nurse told me that the cysts could be caused by caffeine and chocolate....what a bummer.....

I'll write more later....

I used to get lumps all the time from caffeine, mostly under my arms, but also in my breasts. They are painful! So, they know they are just temporary, right? Nothing to worry about? Guess, no more chocolate...LOL...ya right!! Big HUgs, Gabby

Oh I can feel the relief in your post there. I know how scary it is to wait and wait to find out. I know my doctor told me that my cysts were likley worse from the coffee I drink in the morning, so I tried to cut it out especially at that time of the month.

I am so relieved for you, and so happy!

Hugs, Lor

Oh, Paula, so relieved for you! Wow, give up not just one or the other, but both coffee AND chocolate??? That's just not fair!

so glad for you that it's not what we all fear at times.

Hugs,

Aren't ultrasounds wonderful? No needles and great answers! One thing I'd ask is Did you breast feed your children? I did and when the doc told me to give up caffeine because I had some cysts in my breasts, I asked him if he could assure me that they were cysts and not swollen milk glands. lol He was stumped. (Of course, I didn't have an ultrasound done on them either.) So I still drink coffee...I do try to limit myself to just an 8 oz morning one though. And I still eat chocolate but have really cut back on it since it doesn't seem to agree with me much anymore. Glad you had good results. Hugs, BB

Paula,

I'm SOOOO glad that they are just cysts!!! I haven't had any experience with cysts even tho' caffeine and chocolate are my dear friends. Maybe breastfeeding kids is helping combat that! Your experience will make me more aware of this too!

I don't know tho---about giving up both caffeine AND chocolate?! I know I wouldn't pleasant to live with at all!!

Take care & good luck,

Kathie
