For those who are experiencing symptoms or received concerning test results, but haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Hello All, I am a 38 year old female with two small children. I have been having breast discharge (only when squeezed) since I last breastfed 3 years ago. I thought this was normal but I mentioned it at my last check up. I had a normal mammogram and ultrasound. However, they tested the fluid and found Rare atypical…
I’m a 45 year old woman and my mom had a rare form of cancer (phyllodes tumor), which is more of a sarcoma than breast cancer. It did unfortunately, take her life. Due to family history, I’ve been getting mammograms since 40. That said, I’ve had random pains that I would describe as shooting pains in my left breast. Very…

Biopsy on 6/25 so I will just try and enjoy my vaca next week and not worry about…
I am a 45 year old woman and there is breast cancer in my family history. My mom died of a rare aggressive form of it last year, but it was technically a sarcoma (phyllodes tumor) and not a true breast cancer. I am negative for BRCA and she was negative for sarcoma genes, but I’ve been getting annual mammograms since I was…
I would like to share with everyone my concern regarding a terrible experience I recently had with polyurethane foam bra cups. I need help getting this information into the hands of individuals that can help get this subject out into the public eye and hopefully promote legislation to prevent the sale of these products. We…
Mammo and US show 2 lumps in right breast. Both are less than 1 cm and oval shaped and well circumscrimed margins and hypoechoic, parallel to chest. They were told as "probably benign" There is also an axillary lymph node with central fatty vascular hilum, but with a thickened cortex upto 8mm. The radiologist said, masses…
Supposed to schedule one. But worried about it making it spread. They are concerned it could be cancerous. But my lymph nodes look fine. Why not just take it out then send it off for testing? Also my breasts are also very dense. Should I look for a doc to just take it out? Or is that too risky wait? The doc I visited just…
