I went to the doctor recently with a
painful lump in my breast. I was kindof
scared, but knew most cancerous lumps
aren't painful. The doctor told me it was
due to caffine. I usually drink coffee a
couple times a day, chocolate (which has
caffine in it), and soda. Apparently,
this can have consequences on your
breasts. I try to only limit my coffee to
once per day and that has helped
significantly. If I have more than one
though, I notice the tenderness in my
breasts. What he didn't explain to me
was, is this realated in any way to cancer
or can these lumps become cancerous. Has
anyone else had this reaction to caffine?

I've never gotten any lumps or anything
like that, but they definitely get sore if
I have any caffeine.

Any abnormal lumps in the breast can
become cancerous. Especially if there is a
family history of breast cancer. I
recommend yearly mammograms to monitor
these lumps.
