Hi to you too Fay,
Thanks for asking....I am doing alright.
Black cohosh is a herbal supplement that contains phyoestrogens that mimic the role of estrogen.
Since you have Fibroadenomas,I really don't think that estrogen supplement would be a good idea, since it can make the lumps increase in size.
Sorry if I cannot advise you about the things you are asking me,because I simply don't know... Please talk to your physician about the problems you are having with your hormonal imbalance and acne.I am sure that you'll find the best possible professional treatment for your condition.
All the best to you...

Hi Fay,
Yes, just as Japdip said there is no problem using deodorants

Hi Fay, using a deoderant is ok, if you are concerned about chemicals, there are rock crystals out, several natural products Kiss my face makes a natural deoderant as well as some of the other companies, just go to a health food type place like GNC and ask.  Fibroadenomas are not cancerous but they have to be watched, sometimes something can develop under them which might be hard to see if they block it, so it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor about removing them so you have a clearer mammogram but that choice is yours.

Since you aren't receiving any treatment I see no reason why using a deodorant would cause a problem.

Hi,
No, biopsies do not lead to breast cancer.
True fibroadenomas are benign tumors that do not turn malignant,but have to be monitored regularly to see if there are any changes, or removed if they cause pain or become too enlarged.
Take care..

No, breast biopsies can detect existing cancer cells, but they do not cause cancer.

If you undergo biopsy, it will determine for sure if your solid tumors are indeed fibroadenomas or something of more concern.

Best wishes...
