Q: Not Sure If I Have Breast Cancer....
asked by: binky on January 28th, 2005

I have just recently gone to the doctor because my breasts have been itchy for a little over a year. Yesterday, I noticed if I squeeze my nipples, discharge comes out. I also have saline breast implants and had a child 17 months ago.
My doctor said it kind of late to still have anything coming from my nipples such as milk, especially since I did not breast feed. He ordered an u/s for 4/1/05. What worries me is the relentless itch that has been going on for so long along with discharge. No lumps were found with the breast exam but I am aware of cancers in the breast that do not form the typical lumps such as inflammatory breast cancer. I do have a couple of those symptoms but again it could be something else.
Does anyone have any input for me?
I appreciate it...I am new to the boards.
:(

Just curious, and I don't mean to sound gross, but have you tasted the dischard? Does it smell funny? This may give a clue on what it's made of.

it's not gross lol. I actually did taste and smell it and there's no taste or smell. I did get the ultrasound and it found nothing so I have put any further investigating on hold for now. I was going to go to a specialist but I dont have insurance and I am not ready for all of that yet.
Thanks for replying :)
