Question about cysts

Hi there I was wondering out of those who have had phyllodes does anyone seem to have multiple cysts? Since my mastectomy two years ago I have had my existing breast checked twice. It seems I have lots of cysts which can be rather painful. In previous breast checks ( before I had PT) I didn't have cysts. Just wondering about others experiences? X x x

    Hi ladies, I too have multiple cysts in both of my breasts, more in the 'healthy' breast only a few in the phyllodes breast. I have had these cysts since my early twenties and they are typically only 0.5-1cm in diameter. I don't find them painful but I do get tender breasts pre period but if I take FemBalance by MD Nutritionals I find I don't get the breast tenderness. True about the caffeine too, is acid to our tissue cells so limiting it's intake is beneficial. Tan xx.

    My remaining breast is full of cysts now and mine too are very painful. I take evening primrose which helps heaps and a no longer have anything with caffeine , my specialist suggested both and they do help. I haven't heard of tamoxfin ill have to ask my doc I'm seeing him for my annual check up next month. I'm interested if anyone else has the same.....thanks Katie glad your doing well x x
