Not Sure If I Have Breast Cancer.... Posted: 01-28-05 15:25pm
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 :)
