I thought you were making this up, so I entered "nipple cancer" into google and got an answer, so I guess it must be a real disease.
That said, number one on the list is a link to www.cancer.gov which tells you EXACTLY what the symptoms of nipple cancer are. The question remains if I can find a website via Google in 0.5seconds flat why can't you? I bet you didn't even try!!
Easiest two points I've ever earned! :-)
