My grandma has an obvious changing on her left breast... the area near to the nipple has changed its colour to black, compared to the skin colour surrounding it. Its also feels like harden when touches the area. Her nipple has bleed before few days ago. Are these the obvious symptoms of breast cancer?? If it is a breast cancer, which stage of breast cancer will it be?? Her report will be out in 2 weeks time...thank you very much...

Nipple and/or areola changes in shape, texture, sensations along with bloody discharge, are serious signs that may indicate a breast cancer located just under the nipple affecting the breast ducts (this cancer can be an early stage, or it can indicate an invasive one).
Results will give the right answer.
Mammary duct ectasia, which is a benign condition should be taken into consideration, too.
