i am not going to go into the details, but you have helped so much. my partner and i were "spending time together" and i notices what looked similar to a "boil" on her breasts...one on each.....her breasts are large so perhaps they are there just do to rubbing or something.....sounds like it is not cancer, from what you tell me and from what i have since read, thank you for your time and also i would love to give you all the 10 points as you have all been so kind to take the time to help me out. p.s. my partner would kill me for tellin gyou all aobut her breasts like i have, i hope that i haven't offended anyone here either. again thank you all and all the best to each of you.......maybe i should have her get to the doctor and have it looked at regardless though.

Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. It is estimated 1 in every 7 American women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. 220,000 American women will develop breast cancer this year.
Reported breast cancer symptoms inlcude:
discharge from the nipple(clear or bloody)
persistent tenderness of the breast
pain in the nipple
swelling or mass in the armpit (lymph nodes)
inverted or scaly nipples
a lump that can be felt, no matter how small
swelling of the breast
Sometimes there are no symptoms of breast cancer when it is in the early stages. If you notice a lump, or are experiencing anything unusual, you must report the symptoms to your doctor as soon as possible. Performing a monthly self breast exam is the best way to notice any changes in your breasts.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND IF I CAN BE OF ANY MORE ASSISTANCE, LET ME KNOW!

I take it your male, so I suspect your asking for someone else. Lumps in the breast are usu sally a sign, and a self breast testing is important. If there any, then it's time to see a doctor for further testing.
Breast cancer can and does occur in men as well, but it is rare. I am assuming that the lump test is the same for both sexes - but in any case if you or someone else is really worried, see a doctor and be sure and relieve the worry etc.

The only sign or symptom of breast cancer is a breast lump. If you have one see your doc and get it checked out. This is why monthly self exams are so important.

This type of feeling is natural when you are a teenager. It is very likely that you will grow out of it by the time you parent. It is not bad perse to formula feed a baby but there is a much better alternative - breast.
