Fibrocystic Breasts and Cancer Risk
Sunday June 4, 2006
Women's Health Forums: Hi! I'm 21, a wife and mother of a 13 month old. At my latest annual exam, I learned that I have fibrocystic breasts. My doctor told me not to worry and brushed me off. I have read that this is usually a condition that affects women over 30 and raises their risk of developing breast cancer. Any thoughts, personal experiences and/or information anyone can share would ease my mind! What do you think?

I also had fibrocystic disease when I was younger, I cut down on the caffine and it went away, however, I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer. I often wonder if firo disease is a precursor to breast cancer.
