Question 1

scared to death i have breast cancer painful lump on top of right breast yellow discharge numbness and tingling scared went to the emergency room they weren't to concerned please help?

Accepted Answer

See a gynecologist : You need to see a gynecologist right away. You may need an ultrasound or other breast imaging. Sounds like it may be an infection or abscess but a gyn needs to rule out cancer.

Question 2

are breast-cancer lumps painful to have?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Bryce:  a lump that is close to the nipple where a lot of nerve endings are located can be painful and one closer to the armpit where there are also a lot of nerves can be painful.  A lump in the main part of the breast is usually painless, hard and non-movable.  Any lump should be checked out though.  I recommend you call it to your doctor's attention so that appropriate testing can be done.

Question 3

my breast cancer was painful at the lump site... do i need to be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Yes, the breast cancer needs to be promptly and properly diagnosed, staged and treated. No, the presence of pain does not alter the work up, treatment or prognosis- so no need for added concern.

Question 4

if you press the lumps in breast, they are painful but they are painless if they are not pressed. is that the symptom of breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

No, it is likely not: It is normal to have some discomfort when you press the breast- off course depending on how hard you press them. It is not symptom of cancer. You wrote " lumps in the breast". Lump can be benign/cancerous. A "lumpy-bumpy" breast can be seen in the case of fibrocyctic disease- and in this case--your breasts can be tender even without pressing them. Go to see your md to have your breast checked.

Question 5

Question 6

if i got a painful breast lump at the age of 15, could this be breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Brest cancer in teens is very rare.  This should be examined by a physician so you can know without a doubt that you are safe.

Question 7

i had a painful lump in breast last night. could this be a symptom of breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Most painful breast lumps occur around the time of the menstrual cycle and are benign fibrocystic nodules. However, all new & concerning breast changes must be examined by your doctor & will likely need mammogram and possible breast ultrasound evaluations.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Breast lump: See pcp to have breast exam & referral for mammogram or ultrasound or mri, especially if there is a family history of breast cancer. May just be fibrocystic changes, but best to be checked. Also check your armpits for lumps. If not already doing it, learn how to self-check breasts regularly.

Question 9

is armpit lump on breast cancer painful?

Accepted Answer

Usually no: however if you have an axillary (arm pit) lump, it is better to have a good breast examination and a mammogram if needed, wish you well

Question 10

Accepted Answer

no: Mild injury will not cause breast cancer, at the age of 19 , don't think about cancer , and take care of yourself.
