Breast Cancer Advice Center

Ok, I feel very uncomforable asking this, but what are the signs of breast cancer?

I'm not very developed (I'm a late-bloomer) but I recently felt hard marble shaped things behind my nipples. They're kind of flat, like an oval. I'm kind of worried. Is this normal growth, or should I see my doctor?

   Symptoms may include:
   # One breast larger than the other
   # Red or pink skin
   # Swelling
   # Rash (entire breast or small patches)
   # Orange-like texture (peau d’ orange)
   # Skin hot to the touch
   # Pain and/or itchiness
   # Ridges or thickened areas of breast
   # Nipple discharge
   # Nipples that appear inverted or flattened
   # Swollen lymph nodes under the armpit
   # Swollen lymph nodes of the neck (sometimes)
   
   If one or more symptoms continue for more than a week, look for information and talk to a physician with experience with this particular type of breast cancer.

   How old are typical IBC patients at diagnosis?
   The median age range is between 45 and 55 years old, but there may be patients either younger or older. The symptoms must guide the diagnosis, and age should not be used to exclude it.

5. I am a breast cancer survivor. I found a round object under my arm, several weeks later and 11 lymph nodes lighter I began chemo. SEE A DOCTOR. IF YOU NEED HELP CONTACT THE LOCAL AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY. ALSO IF THIS IS BREAST CANCER AND YOU HAVE NO INSURANCE THERE IS A BREAST AND CERVICAL PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP WITH EXPENSES.

6. you may have benign cysts
   
   those that are the most cause for concern will be hard, possibly jagged, and probably will not hurt
   
   If the ones you have now don't go away, it would probably be best to see a doctor for an exam
