Does this sound like Breast Cancer?

Question

A family member noticed a few weeks ago that she had a lump in her breast. She had it checked out last weel and the lump grew from a pea size to an egg size since then. And the other breast has about 10 or 15 small cysts on it. Just within the past three days she can't hold any food down and the big lump on the breast got bigger, turned black, and is leaking blackish greenish ooze. She is leaking from about five different parts of her breast. The hospital sent her home since she has no health insurance. That said they would call her when a spot opened in the cancer clinic. They didn't even test it to see if it is cancer. Does cancer leake from the skin? Do the lumps turn black?

Answer 1

It could be. I suggest you contact the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation as soon as you can. They can find her some medical care and help her out.

Answer 2

It is outrageous than in a country like the US, a woman cannot get cancer treatment because she cannot afford insurance. But we have enough money to spend $1 billion a week on this damned war. That's right. $1 billion!!! I hope it s not cancer but she should go to the ER and see what they can do.

Answer 3

Gosh that don't sound good, I have read somewhere on the net that if cancer gets real bad it can turn black and leak.....I don't have Ins either, it makes me so mad, that you have to have Ins to get any help.....I can't even afford a Mamogram and i haven't had one in years.......Tell her to call her local Hospital, Some Hospitals have programs to help people like that......Just keep bugging people until you find help......Land of the Free....Ya right!!!!

Answer 4

that is really a sad situation. a black/green ooze is definately not good. it sounds like her breast tissue is necrotic/gangrene (rotten) & very possibly cancer. maybe your family, close friends & neighbors could help this lady. the growth rate of her lumps is a bad sign too. she needs medical attention as soon as possible & needs to find a way quick to get it.

Answer 5

Sounds like breast cancer or a boil. Could be the later. She needs to go back to the ER.

Answer 6

Yeap could be because it was older spot before the surgery but return to the same hospital have them to clean it up and give a new treatment if they say no then get a chief of the hospital
and report it .

Answer 7

maximum breast lumps are no longer threat loose. Given your age,identity wager some thing like a fibrocyst. decrease fat on your weight-reduction plan and probably attempt a supplement including evening primrose oil. shop a watch on it,if it grows,you have unexplained skin variations (including a dimpling result),or get any discharge out of your nipple,see your gp today. I quite would not difficulty nonetheless.

Answer 8

THE BRESAST CANCER BEGINS AS A LUMP , WHICH GROWS ALOT IN WEEKS, AND IT CAN OPEN UP IN THE SKIN CAUSING A CRATER IN THE SKIN WHICH MAY BLEED, BECOME BLACK (NECROTIC) AND SMELL BADLY. BUT THERE IS ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC, A BREAST INFECTION, BUT THISIS ACOMPANY BY PAIN AND FEVER. I THINK IT MIGHT BE CANCER BUT SHE NEEDS BIOPSY AND TREATMENT. DO WAHT IT TAKE TO GO TO A DOCTOR... GO TO ANY EMERGENCY ROOM....

Answer 9

My aunt died from breast cancer several years ago. I don't know much about the beginning stages, as hers was unnoticed for quite sometime as she was pregnant. But here are some resources that you can check out. I hope everything is okay.
