Maybe someone at here can help a little.  I am 31 and 10 months ago I found myself haveing pain and tingling in my left breast to the point that I would have to hold it tight to semi stop or relax it.  I found 2 lumps in my left breast later that month (that was around Dec).  I waitied a while to see a doc untill I found a few swollen lymphnodes in my arm pit.????????????????????????????????

The first mamo and ultra sound they told me I was fine and nothing was there.  Go home your fine was not going to work for me being that 2 docs had felt the lumps.

I went to a great doc, said that the lumps and pain are from tight muscels and I should be fine.  I thought about it for a bit and agreed.  Why not this is a good doc.

Now I am at a breaking point because 1 week ago fluid came from my left nipple?????????

I want to know what is going on, I am so confused it almost hurts. Family history with breast cancer and cervical cancer?

Can anyone help?

    Hi Bailey,

    Sorry nobody has answered you yet. First, just a few reassuring things: 80% of lumps are benign and that includes lumps found in all women so I would imagine that the percentage of lumps in women of your age that are benign would be even higher than 80%. Also, you have had 3 doctors check your breasts and had mammos & u/s.

    However, you are still worried and I'm a great believer in going with your gut feelings. Were the docs you saw breast surgeons? Could you get a referral to a Breast Centre or similar where they deal exclusively with breast problems? Were you trying to express fluid from your breasts or was the discharge spontaneous? I had a (spontaneous) blood stained discharge for over a year and that breast was and continues to be fine (different story with the other one!) so a discharge certainly doesn't equate to bc.

    Good luck and keep going until you get satisfaction and peace of mind.
