In the period of 10 years, my oldest sister, my father and one brother were diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma, I got breast cancer and my youngest brother got colon cancer. The other 2 brothers and 1 sister are certainly nervous as are our children. All we can do is get the regular physical checks and live our lives to the fullest. We nearly lost by brother and sister several times but the new medical advances have helped them far beyond their original diagnosis.
hi, my mom has had breast cancer for 3 years, she was diagnosed with stage3, first surgery took the tumor and all limp nods from right arm, 1 year later breast cancer came back next to first scare, so they the took the whole breast, now 1 year as of april, she is having a biopsy done to her right lung do to nodules found a nd growing larger quickly, my question is, is this cancer again? is it rare?
I have anxiety and finals this week and need to put my brain to rest on what this is. I have a family History of Breast Cancer, with the youngest diagnosis at 22 and the oldest at 56, and im just stressing out. Any help or support is appreciated.
History: I am not pregnant, No STD’s/STI’s present, I have an IUD (since february), New Medication (this began before the start of new meds).

Noraml breast do not contian stones, doesn't mean cancer though. A doctor's visot is in order here.

(usually the doctor will have a pretty good idea what sort of biopsy is warranted, and they may guide where they are going with the ultrasound) Also, and I know it sounds scary, any type of biopsy does, but the breast is really relatively painless an organ to do stuff on unlike for example your nose, or from what I heard also something like a liver biopsy. Even having your breast removed when you do have cancer is not nearly as painful as something like a c-section.
Sir, my grand mother(80 yrs old), has been diagonsed of breast cancer. her ANSC test report had the following:
"smear shows scattered and groups of cells with features of malignancy with infiltration of stroma
- infiltrating breast-carcinoma
- lump in right breast upper quadrant"
Doctor has told for operation.Considering her age what should we do?
Dear dmw13, Over the internet without being able to evaluate the scan, physical exam and question it is difficult to advise or to explain your doctors concern specifically for breast cancer. Lymph nodes can be enlarged for a number of reasons including cancer, and having this further evaluated is appropriate.
I nurse her. It's great bonding time before bed. She's a sweet and gentle monkey. Bit once or twice but I stopped feeding right away and she caught on quickly that if she wants her 'milky milky' she will not bite me. It's also good for comfort. When she falls and hurts herself, having some milk sooths her. Just as you couldn't imagine breast feeding at her age, I can't imagine NOT nursing her. She won't nurse forever and I will never get that special time back.
i am 32 years old and my youngest is 7. Recently i have noticed my left breast leaking my period has become really heavy i have been suffering with a lot of head ache lately and sometimes it makes me sick. i'm not using any pill nor i'm i on any medication, my doctor has done blood test only 1s my blood test showed high cholesterol, anemic and abnormal in my thyroid level. but was retested after 3 month and came back normal only my thyroid was at border line.
