Hi there
I recommend that you monitor the pain and itching closely by keeping a journal
Take note of whether the pain correlates to your menstrual cycle (if this is applicable) and if the pain increases or decreases over the next few weeks
Look for any signs of redness on your breast or any visible lumps as there are more aggressive types of breast cancer that can cause pain, itching and rapid changes (Metaplastic and Inflammatory)
These carcinomas are very rare, so please be reassured that
Even though I've been signed on to MedHelp for sometime, this is my first posting. I am a DES daughter and part of a landmark DES breast cancer trial now going on in Boston.
I am one of five children. I am the only child that was exposed to DES and the only child to get any form of cancer or serious illness. I also have reproductive abnormalities ....these include. " hooded cervix" an "incompetent cervix" and a t-shaped uterus.
women with breast cancer, women without breast cancer, survivors of breast cancer, relatives of breast cancer victims. You have the option of choosing to participate or not participate in any of the activities. I have been a member for about two months now and have been notified of two studies for which I didn't qualify and one survey in which I did participate.
PLEASE do this...if not for yourself, for your friends, mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, grandmothers, daughters.
Hi,
I hope everything turns out okay related to your upcoming biopsy!
"If it is bad new again" though, the treatment plan would be recommended by your treatment team, based on a full evaluation of your case,including whether there is any sign of disease spread.

Researchers have confirmed earlier studies that women who use birth control pills have a higher risk of developing breast cancer. New study findings were reported in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention (Vol.11: 1375-1381).
Because the growth of breast tissue depends on a woman’s hormones, researchers have focused on hormone containing drugs as one risk factor for breast cancer.
in April 2011, estrogen and progesterone receptor status is a predictive marker of early breast cancer and post-treatment relapse.
As you get older your hormone levels decrease, and your fat cells in your body increases. This can cause higher levels of aromatase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men and breast cancer in post-menopausal women is to use a class of drugs called aromatase inhibitors.
Given that the magnitude of the association with breast density is strong across all breast cancer subtypes and particularly for ER-negative disease, breast density should be included in risk prediction models across tumor subtypes," they write.
Some states are passing legislation to require that women be informed of their breast density risk. A federal bill is in the draft stage.
It is projected that raising the minimum year-around serum 25(OH)D level to 40 to 60 ng/mL (100-150 nmol/L) would prevent approximately 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 new cases of colorectal cancer each year, and three fourths of deaths from these diseases in the United States and Canada, based on observational studies combined with a randomized trial."

needs volunteers to help if they offer free or low cost screenings during Breast Cancer Month? Or a breast cancer support group in your area might be able to inform you of special needs they have become aware of in your community.
Or maybe you could make some kind of arrangement (while protecting their medical privacy) to donate some of your poundcakes (wrapped in pink?) for women and their families to enjoy while they are recovering from BC surgery or going through radiation treatment.
t get breast cancer. Microscopic cells left behind from the surgeons knife has led many women who thought they were safe down a false path of hope. You are far more likely to stress yourself into a heart attack if you don't quit worrying about this. I am sorry if this sounds harsh, but we have women on here who are dying of this horrible disease, who do have to worry about every rise in their CA125 and they would all love to be in your position.
many breast cancer tumors have low rates of metabolism,so the PET part of the scan would miss them.In addition, tumors less than 1 centimeter in diameter don't show up very well on a PET-CT scan.Mammography may be the older technology, but it's actually better than PET-CT scans at detecting small cancerous growths.

P.S.
Breast cancer, colon cancer and ovarian cancer are all related. So now there's a red flag. Good that you've been talking with the nurses.
It's awful that you weren't called. I find you are a folder on the desk until you are a frequent patient and you ALWAYS have to make the phone calls.
Good luck with everything and I am thinking positive for you.
