Thread: My wife has found a breast lump

Do a search on "breast fibroids." If you feel it applies learn about it with her. Go with her to get the biopsy even if you can't miss work, MISS WORK.

IMHO

Is she on any kind of estrogen therapy or eats alot of soy or soy milk or has in the past?

no therapy but she does use soya protein powder and soya milk

My wife is extremely dilligent, she is 42 and checks herself every month after her cycle and she has only just found this lump this week, it wasnt there last month.

Obviously I know that noone here can say for sure what it is but this is what it feels like

A firm pea, smooth, its quite hard (not rough) its loose and moves around very easily, .

If anyone has had similar experiances and anything reasurring to say it would be nice
Thx!

i had a similar lump and was so scared i let it get to the size of a lima bean before i told my doctor. it wasn't cancer. i decided at the time to not remove it but years later when i did get it removed it looked like a firm yellow piece of chicken fat. that was maybe 12 years ago, i found it 23 years ago.

Her thyroid is probably fucked up from the all the soy in her diet which is causing her body not to use iodine properly and making her deficient. Lack of iodine causes fibrocystic lumps in the breasts. STop the soy for a month and add in some dulse or kelp natural food source. My gf and I both had iodine test done and both found to be 50% below the saturation limit. Right now we both are doing 50 mgs of ioderol a day to replenish iodine. A posibble theory why lumps forms could be alteration in estrogen metabolism causing carcigneic metabolites to float around (16 and 4 hydroy). DIM will help control estrogen metabolism and estrogen domaince

good gracious, I read so many things! Iv read that soya can help to thin out breast tissue hence reducing risk and iv read ur post and other articles which hints that soya can cause breast lumps!!

Now Im concerned that her eatin soya protein isolate for the past year or so may have given her cancer.

It depends on a person's chemistry and DRs are on;ly taught to read numbers on test results. The ranges of test results are dervived from people 18-90 years old and the general population. As your self this what generation of the population is healthy based upon these lab test so that is why people slip through the cracks when it can be prevented if the drs stop focusing do much on numbers and treat people accordingly. My next step as for dr about estrogen metabolite urines test to see how her body is metabolizing estrogen. That is next step with my GF after replenishing her iodine I am going to shift towards balancing her estrogen metabolism for optimal health.
Every thing in moderation plus my gf was vegiteran for many years and lived off tofu /soy protein ect and now she is paying the price due to ovarain cyst which can be reduced when iodine levels are brought back into play as well as me getting her thyroid up to top 70-80% vs bottom baseline. I beleive in optimal health and not being "normal" Normal amercians are not healthy Plus all this IBS bullshit drs are telling you is do 90% Enocrine imbalances main adrenal and thyroid dysfunction which is under treated. With out thyroid you can not make serotonin no wonder why people are fucken depressed and on paxil when treat the thyroid/adrenals depression goes away
