I was 16 yrs old when i first noticed a lump on my left breast. I was too scared to do anything about it so i left it alone. Now Im 18, and I noticed that my left nipple has inverted and it has a tiny little discharge. Is this breast cancer?

You need a specialist to check it out. But in the meantime - 3 - Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer specialist came out with a paper that said the best cancer/infection fighter found to date was Interferon. At the time it was $15,000 a gram. 13 The paper also said that Interferon was a by-product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your body. (If you find this useful, copy it and give it to a friend. Somebody got to Yahoo and they delete this as soon as they find it) Shortly after that the FDA tried to make Vitamin C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA has the RDA for Vitamin C set at 64 mg a day, just enough to ward off scurvy. 14 Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vitamin C and a second Nobel Prize for Organic Chemistry, said that 1000 mg a day should be the minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick or smoke. 15 He played tennis almost daily until the day he died at 96. Personally, I got sick twice a year for 2 weeks at a time, for more than 20 years, with something to this day the doctors have no idea what it was, but for a week in the middle of those 2 weeks I was flat on my back. I started Vitamin C therapy once I gave up on the doctors. I took enough to be asymptomatic for those 2 weeks. 16 Too much and I got diarrhea and too little and I got sick. Within a narrow range, and it followed a bell curve over those 2 weeks, I was not sick. At the height I was taking 40,000 mg a day and 300,000 over the 2 weeks. After 2 years of that I have not been sick since – more than 15 years. Vitamin C acts as a natural diuretic so you need to drink a lot of water and watch your body in total, but my kidneys did not dissolve as the doctors predicted, or get massive kidney stones as other predicted. I did not dissolve my bones as some predicted or completely calcify my joints as others predicted. I had no side effects at all. It might be something to consider.

Only a doctor would be able to tell you for sure. I had discharge from my left breast about a year ago and it was only an oil cyst. Ironically I found lump on the right side back in Nov. (no discharge from that side) and it turned out to be cancerous.
I know it's scarey to go to the doctor for something like this, but wouldn't you feel better if you knew for sure instead of worrying about it all this time and getting it taken care of if it would turn out to be anything serious. The earlier you find out, the better. Go make that appointment! I'll be sending good thoughts your way.

Get is checked out and do it ASAP. Not trying to scare you but all of what you just said is classic signs of breast cancer. I was 26 when mine was diagnosed, noticed the lump for several years before getting it checked and my breast was doing exactly the same as yours when I finally did get it checked. It could be nothing but demand an ultrasound, mammogram or biopsy immediately. Don't let doctors tell you that you are too young...it's rare but it's simply untrue. 5% of women diagnosed with cancer are under the age of 35.

If it has doubled in length in per week, this isn't Breast maximum cancers. And at 18 you would make nationwide information. docs see sufferers youthful than you with extra stepped ahead issues, that is in basic terms a cyst and would fairly be treated. the actual shown truth that it strikes is likewise on your want. Make that appointment immediately, and your wellbeing care professional can placed your recommendations comfy in 5 minutes. you do not have Breast maximum cancers

Definitely do not let any more time go by that you allow this problem to go untreated. It could be something as simple as a clogged duct, but you should get it checked out just in case. My friend was only 20 years old when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer at a routine PAP smear. She will soon start radiation and chemo-therapy. Even though this is unfortunate I thank GOD she caught it early. PLEASE see a doctor ASAP. God bless you and good luck.

See your Dr. If you're worried about it, time to seek a little reassurance.

Only a doctor, after a series of tests, can answer this question.
