My Daughter was diagnosed "GM"

I'm a father of 52  years old living in Houston TX  my daughter of 27 years old was diagnosed with  granulomatous mastitis last week, she lives in Oregon , she is mom of one boy and one little girl.
She has one cyst in her breast and have anything in her legs too. So much pain
The doctor prescribed her prednisolone
We are worried about this, I was looking for more info in the web but I think this is the best  forum place.
Sorry because I’m a man in a women forum, we only need help.
Thank you

I have had swollen lymph nodes in my groin this entire time...in fact I have had swollen lymph nodes throughout most of my body. Is it possible that these are the lumps on her legs? Are they in her groin, or are they somewhere else on her legs?

Hi Dad:

One thing that is not sitting right with me is that in of all the women I have heard from on this forum, and all of the medical literature I have read - I have not heard of lumps in the legs presenting with the initial breast lumps.

I am not trying to worry you, I am just saying this seems atypical.  

I was tested for other granuloma based diseases when I first was being diagnosed - Wegner's Granulomatous, Lupus, Breast Tuberculosis, etc. -- so my own humble, non-expert opinion is - what are these lumps on her legs, are they associate with the breast lumps - what exactly is going on.

You will do well to have your doctor or your daughter consult with Dr. Laya - I think she is the world expert at this point (no kidding), and she has taken an active interest in treating GM patients...a real godsend for us, and hopefully for you.

Good luck and keep posting if you have any other questions.

Best of luck to your daughter.

btw t is a very painful condition - I didn't take painkillers at first and sure wish I did...
