Kathy I quite agree that fibrocystic 'disease' is a misnomer, and give people the idea that they are suffering a terrible affliction rather than a very common type of breast development. There was a push to call this whole range of breast symptoms ANDI (Aberrations of Normal Development and Involution), but in medical circles the old term still sticks :( >I am p hilosophically opposed to calling it fibrocystic breast *disease* >when it reflects hormonal changes, etc. Since when is that a disease? > Fiona Coombes NMAA Breastfeeding Counsellor Family Physician, IBCLC Perth Western Australia
