Re: Pre-cancerous cells
Hello Jill,
I am wondering how you are doing and how your tests went -- I hope you received great news! I have had an experience with bloody nipple discharge. In October 2009 (age 39), I started to notice a few brown spots in my bra and on my night shirts. After a week or so, I realized the spots were caused by bloody nipple discharge. My family physician ran blood tests and told me that I had a staph infection. I was put on an antibiotic. After a week on the antibiotic I insisted that I be referred for a mammogram (I wasn't seeing any improvements and the discharge seemed to be increasing). The mammogram detected microcalcifications and further tests (ultasound, double biopsy) confirmed I had breast cancer.
