Title: mammographie/mammogramme/breast cancer check
Post by: smileandbehappy on December 05, 2011, 11:44:29 AM
does anyone think that sjogrens/plaquenil can affect the glands in my breasts?  I had my first mammogramme today and I was told that my breasts are not the same (which is unusual, apparently).   I live in France and am still trying to understand the french report I was given but basically I was told that although they don't think that there is anything wrong, a woman's breasts usually reflect each other and mine don't so I need to keep a check and go back again in six months.  It's the word glandulaire that I don't like and keep wondering whether I should have mentioned to the doctor that I take plaquenil.  Am I getting overly worried for nothing?
