Re: Pre-cancerous cells
I had what is called "bloody nipple discharge" and from my understanding it is a huge sign that you have cancerous or pre-cancerous cells due to this situation.
An OB-GYN in the practice I go to saw me instead of my normal OB and it was not only red, but green and orange in color. She informed me that I had "fibrocystic breasts" and that I was lumpy in my breasts and that I should take 400 IU's 2x daily and it should help! shocking isn't it!
As you can see from my signature I definitely had invasive breast cancer, not just fibrocystic breasts!
Sending you good thoughts and hoping for the best!
