Do You Know the Red Flags for Breast Cancer Danger?

Posted in Breast Cancer by Susan Quinn on Oct 04, 2011

In order to protect yourself from breast cancer it is vitally important to examine your breasts regularly. You are the best one to do this on yourself, because you can tell if there are any changes.

Here are the things to look for as you examine your breasts and underarm area:

- A change in the size or shape of the breast.

- Any lumps or knots or hard places that are new.

- Discoloration.

- Warmth with swelling.

- Dimpling of the skin.

- Contracting of the nipple inward.

- Discharge from the nipple.

- Pain.

You should also have a mammogram every year to detect changes. If there are any changes see your doctor immediately because early detection saves lives.

Around June of 2009 my right breast started swelling, looked like it was one huge bruise. Something was wrong i knew, but no health inssurance, and lots of other factors prevented me from seeing a doctor. Posted on 09/15/11 09:51:45 pm

She has no family history of breast cancer. Her mamogram from prior had no signs of tumors. And up until the biospy she had no other symptoms or signs of cancer. She had a small lump that was sore and tender but nothing major. Atleast we thought Posted on 04/14/10 04:20:29 pm

i went in for my first mam at 56. OMG i had five spots. four needle byopsies were done in a weeks time with Negitive results. The fifth a week later under surgery and it was 5% going in to me cancer. Well i 5%ed it all over the place. They cut the cancer out on the spot and i am a yr and half into recovery. Well i was lucky. I was at stage 0. yes they have that stage. Truley was i lucky. I had zero signs or symtoms. No cancer in my family and just went in because i finially got brave after hearing about all the smashings. I am glad i did. I could have had so much more damage! I am taking pills and had 35 treatments of radiation.

Doctor, what about this? My left nipple doesnt have a discharge, but on the actual nipple part I keep getting this dry skin that then peels off and underneith it bleeds alittle sometimes if I peel the dry scale off. Its like proliferating skin or something. Its been doing this over a year but I have no other breast changes or symptoms....
