Blood coming from my nipple

If it's cancer I just can't handle going through surgeries and treatments. I know myself and I can't do the whole suffering to death thing. Quebec just legalized Euthanasia so that's the route I would go. I don't want to die,but I cant' choose the other option.

I too am glad you are seeing your doctor, however, if you were scratching at what you thought was a scab, it could have been something as simple as irritating the scab which caused it to bleed. Better to be on the safe side and see the doc. Keep everyone up to date as to what you find out. Hugs GB

There's a difference between blood coming from a scab on the surface of your skin and blood coming from the inside of the breast.

We immediately go to breast cancer because we're told so much about it and told to really fear it.

While it's good to take preventative measures, the vast majority of people will not develop breast cancer.

Even if you do have cancer, look into alternative treatments before considering euthenasia.

Sending good thoughts your way.
