what are the signs of breast cancer?

Question

what if you feel a solid thing in the lower part of your breast? does not wearing a bra increase the risk?

Answer 1

Signs of possible breast cancer include a mass(lump) that you can feel. Also if there is skin dimpling (or any other skin changes), nipple retraction, and nipple discharge.

Not wearing/wearing a bra has nothing to do with breast cancer.

See your doctor for further evaluation.

Answer 2

Breast cancer most often involves glandular breast cells in the ducts or lobules. Most patients present with an asymptomatic lump discovered during examination or screening mammography. Diagnosis is confirmed by biopsy. Treatment usually includes surgical excision, often with radiation therapy and adjuvant systemic therapy.
BREAST CANCER-symptoms:-
1. Any change in size of the breast.
2. Bloody, yellow, or green discharge from the nipple.
3. Any lump in the breast or in the armpit, usually painless.
4. Any dimpling or change in the texture of the skin of the breast.
5. A change in the shape of the nipple;
6. Any persistent irritation scaling, sour or ulcer of the nipple.

Answer 3

Not wearing a bra has no relevance.

Some people have lumps that you can feel in the breast, others, the lumps are too small to feel (but are still there and are cancerous).

If you are concerned, you should get a doctor to give you a breast exam and do regular self examinations to get to know the consistency of your breasts, you may be feeling a normal tissue mass.

Answer 4

Cancer is caused by poor nutrition (including oxygen) and stressors. Stressors can be environmental, like heavy metals, food additives or pollution, or emotional or job stress.
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or an exrtaordinary amount of stressors, to degrade the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it can spread rapidly.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that the AMA is keeping from the American public, that are being used in Europe and around the world. Here is some information that is getting hard to find--"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825; "A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052; "Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077; "The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410; and "Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966.

Type 'used books' into your browser and find a good site, then type in the ISBN numbers and get some great help cheap.

I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) after they went on a program of herbs and nutrition.

The American Medical Association and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law in this country, and they are in it for the money, and don't care about individuals. You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy.
This is not a joke. Look into it. Best of luck

Answer 5

Most people understand breast cancer as something that happens in the breast. However it can spread via lymphatics to nearby lymph nodes usually those under the arm.

Mammography is still the modality of choice for screening of early breast cancer, and breast cancers detected by mammography are usually smaller than those detected clinically.

The diagnosis of breast cancer is established by the pathological examination of removed breast tissue. Such tissue is generally obtained at the time of surgical treatment. A number of procedures have been devised to obtain tissue or cells prior to the treatment for histological or cytological examination. Such procedures include fine-needle aspiration, nipples aspirates, ductal lavage, core needle biopsy, and local surgical biopsy.
