Cancer

I have lumps in both breasts. I have seen a breast specialist before who has examined me and told me they are non cancerous. This was more than a year ago. Since then, I have started grad school and I lost my job insurance. I have student insurance, but it doesnt give access to specialists.

Lately, I have been having a quick sharp pain in my left breast. It only lasts like a second or so and on a scale from 1-10..its maybe a 4. Then late last night, I noticed a discolored blotch on my right breast. I dont have huge breasts, but it is not in the same area as the nipple. So I have been searching the internet and I came accross IBC Cancer, the symptoms seem to be more than what I have. I wanted to know what discolored blotches can be a sign of and if the sharp pain in the left breast means anything. Im pretty scared, but Im not going to cry. I just wanted some quick topics I could search before I empty my student wallet at the doctors office. Thanks a lot in advance

Can you tell me if the high incidence of breast cancer and leukemia in Marin County, CA, USA is concentrated in specific towns/regions and if there are any definitive fact-based conclusions as to what is causing it? I am considering moving there but want to make sure that environmental issues (e.g. water supply, geological makeup, or old military deposits) are not causing these problems?

I had a cervical erosion after the birth of my son. It was treated successfully but I was wondering whether this had an effect on my likelihood of developing cervical cancer. Any experts out there care to ally my fears please?

for the past 9 months my stools have had a very tarry texture, are the color of clay, have black specks in them, often times look like i have undigested peanuts in them (wheni have not eaten them)and sometimes are'thin and ribbony'. there was one incedent where i bled profusely after having a bowel movement, and a few times bled but in a lesser amount. i am often fatiqued and out of breath, but i'm not sure if that is just my diabetes. i'm a 30 yr old female. does this sound like colon cancer? i dont have health insurance so im not sure what i shoud do (or what's going on)

I hear good and bad about this method of "cleansing your colon" I'm not even sure if I want to do it. The only reason I wanted to do it is because my dad died of colon cancer and my dr said in the next seven years she wants me to get a colonastropy( or whatever it's called) done..so I thought maybe this would be good for me..even though I would have a complete stranger sticking something up my butt... I just wanted to know if anyone has ever gotten it done or if it is just a waste of time..thanks!

I am really supportive of breast cancer awareness and i figured instead of a traditional favor (candle,pic frame, candy) i wanted to donate money to a breast cancer foundation. I also want to give pamplets out at the tables and pins and my game gift will be based around products that donate money when purchased like at bed bathe beyond and such. Will my family think something is wrong with me. Is it weird. This is a womens function and what better then this. cancer runs thru my family.
