drichards2 asked:

If cancer is in the lymph nodes what does this mean? I’ve always heard that once it’s in the lymph nodes that it usually means you’ve got it all over your body. Can someone please let me know?

memere asked:

Oct. is National Breast Cancer Awareness Mo., as you know. As one who had breast cancer, & a mastectomy, 1 yr. ago this mo. I want to caution women against putting off mammograms, & self checks. Millions of women have had or have breast cancer. What advise would give someone about the importance of testing? What is your story? Mine is the radiologist wanted me to wait 6 mo because the tumor was small. get this, to see if it grew. I refused to wait. She didn’t know if it was cancer or not. Just wait because it’s small.? As it turned out, I had the cat scan, biopsy, and mastectomy all in 1 wk. because I had cancer. Last yr, 5 women in my family were diagnosed with breast cancer. Had I waited, who knows. I told that radiologist she had no right telling women to wait. A history begins with 1 person. My advice, DON’T WAIT. What’s yours, Thank you
soccergi. Your chances of getting breast cancer may be a little higher than someone else. but @ 14, don’t worry yourself about it. Live your life good. If you’re mother didn’t get it, I would say you’re pretty safe, but when you reach 40, have that mammogram, OK
Alphapoi. Sorry, but a foam bra cannot protect you from breast cancer, nor infections. The cancer is in the milk ducts. An infection would only affect surrounding tissue. Thank you both for your input
Roxie-You are so right. They do say 40 for a mammo, but I agree, it should be earlier. You are exactly what I’m talking about. A history begins with 1 person. Hope you get well soon. Thank you

brittanycowling asked:

First, how young have you heard of women getting breast cancer? I think it might be not as common for a 18-29 year old to get breast cancer, than it is for a woman over 30 right?

And also, Is it possible to catch somehow breast cancer before the tumor is big enough to tell apart from the normal breast? If you only have a little aching in one spot, a family history of many cancers including breast cancer…is it likely?

Just getting opinions, thank you.

support_pinkribbon asked:

I’m 17 and a senior at high school and a student at the School of Nursing and I’m a huge advocate for Breast Cancer research and support. I’m always wearing my pink ribbon and my pink ribbon necklace and I have many breast cancer/pink ribbon clothing articles. Since it’s breast cancer awareness month I tried to see what my community//county and surrounding cities are doing to support………..and I found out…completely nothing. At the highschool football games I take donations and sell pink ribbons. I’m getting some pretty positive responses from this but I need more. Does anyone know where I can get free materials for breast cancer awareness other than just printing stuff off the internet?
