A member asked:
Im 36 stopped breastfeeding 5 years ago have always had milky discharge now notice dark green black discharge from breast little pain and floating lump is it cancer?

Nipple discharge: Any new lump within the breast should be evaluated. A mammogram sounds in order. See your doctor and have this checked out. Most likely will be benign but better to be safe than sorry. Best of luck.
