Not on the pill..  and a still-transitioning, but very high-raw LF vegan.  I eat LFRV most days, but admit to having trouble on the weekend because my husband is not on-board..  Very difficult for me on the weekends, but my cysts are getting more painful, so I will just have to make a stronger stand when he asks me out to cooked dinner!

Please please please DO NOT go and get a mammo. If a screening is absolutely essential, then ask for an ultrasound instead. Coz tits are so dense, mammo uses such high radiation dose to penetrate through.

Believe me.. I do not want a mammo!  I had 2 of them (years ago) and they hurt like hell!!   My cysts are very, very tender.. I am trying to avoid going to my breast doctor because I know she will push the mammo.  

Btw.. I have been drinking a quart of green smoothies every day for about a week, and intend on continuing on with them... Maybe I should drink more than a quart per day..  (?)

Are you drinking plenty of water?? Are these cysts always there or do they come and go (like pre-menstruation/during menstruation?). Are you under a lot of stress?

I am drinking a decent amount of water, but should probably drink more!   They are always there, but there are times when they feel harder and are more tender.   Not under stress..

 

Prob really just have to go 100% LFRV, once and for all!!

Mine went away when I did 3 1/2 weeks 100% Only Fruit, I started cheating with potatoes and rice and came back :( 

Had 2 of 3 and 4 cm on right, and 1cm on left.   (although never felt left one)
