Feel Silly For Asking But ..... Posted: 12-09-04 15:03pm


I feel silly even asking this but am v. Worried. Lately i've noticed a milky white discharge from my left breast and more recently feel tender and bruised. There's no way i'm pregnant and I cant feel any lumps. I think i'm probably been paranoid but my mom died from breast cancer and i'm terrified, but also worried a doctor will think i'm over reacting. Sorry for coming over all paranoid but any comments that would put my mind at rest would be greatly appreciated!

I am not a doctor and know nothing about your condition but if im anything to go by (very paranoid also) id say that youre trying to make yourself believe its something that its not. I have this weird lump under my arm (see thread I created) and im scared to death that at 19, I have breast cancer!!! I dont know what to do :( i wish you all the best, im sure its nothing to worry about!

I Dont Think You Are Over Reacting. Posted: 01-01-05 11:20am


I am a graduate majoring in orthopedic. And I know a little about breast cancer .I cant give you certain advice . But I do advise you to see a doctor. Cuz your mother had breast cancer(sorry to mention that) ,then you should be alert at such symptoms. But I hope we are both over reacting. Please let us know what happens next.

with what you discribe you need to tell your doctor so that he can check. Even if you can't feel a lump there could be one. I am not trying to scare you but some of what you describe is signs of problems. He won't think you are being paranoid.

Hi Katty Posted: 10-20-06 05:35am


You know! Having a history of breast cancer in near relatives increases the chances of breast cancer. So its better you visit your doctor she will certainly help you out. I don't think you have experienced symptoms. And coming to the "white discharge" its normal at your age. You need not worry about that. I have little information regarding this.
