Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 I just got undressed and noticed my left nipple has a white discharge! It was just a few drops, but I could squeeze it out of my nipple!! This is scaring me bad! I've never had this before! Is that another sign of leakage/rupture or breast cancer? I've been calling my PCD all week. They were supposed to let me know on Monday if my surgery would be covered by my insurance. But they keep giving me the run-around, saying that they have not heard anything yet, and that I needed to call my insurance company (TennCare) myself. So I called them today, and they said they did not have a claim on me at all-no one had submitted anything to them, and that they always have an answer within 2 days! So I called the PCD back and threw a fit, and they said they have faxed the request for my surgery to them twice now. Now my doctors office is not returning my calls, leaving me hanging on the phone for VERY long amounts of time, or just hanging up on me! They still have not heard anything, and will be out of the office until Tuesday. My appointment with my surgeon is on Thursday...so I've GOT to know something by then. I'm freaking on this nipple discharge and have got to get these things out SOON! I'm really scared now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Leyna, What was the consistency of the white discharge? It could be pus if there was an infection, or it could be milk through spontaneous lactation (remember our discussion of that last week?) or it could be something entirely different and I would have no clue. Best to get it checked out. If it is pus, they need to get you in and get that cleaned out. If it is milk, then you have nothing to worry about (but explant is still needed as soon as it can be feasibly scheduled.) Any other possibility will have to be thoroughly checked out. Just a note on the pus idea....one lady I met with here in Vegas had gone to Dr. Huang for explant. She dragged her feet for a whole year before she got explanted. (Really didn't want to get rid of them.) Then she went downhill pretty fast and decided explant would be a good idea after all. When Dr. Huang finally opened her up, she told this woman after the surgery that she found her implants sitting in a sea of green ooze. Nice picture, huh? I guess my point was that you don't have to panic. If you have an infection, you will know it, but you won't die. So, don't panic! We've been able to survive nearly everything that has been thrown our way with implants and you've got support here, so just keep calling your doctors to request the appointments you need to get this handled. They really shouldn't be dragging their feet at this point. Hold on for your appointment....it will be here soon.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Tricia, Thanks for putting my mind a little bit at rest. It just freaked me out because I've NEVER had a nipple discharge, even though my nipples have been " cracked " looking for as long as I can remember. The discharge was just a couple of drops-white, but not milky-more thick than runny. It had a slightly bad odor too, which really freaked me out. I can't wait to get rid of these things! I wish my insurance company would get off it's you know what and tell me something soon! --- Tricia Trish <glory2glory1401@...> wrote: > Leyna, > What was the consistency of the white discharge? > > It could be pus if there was an infection, or it > could be milk through spontaneous lactation > (remember our discussion of that last week?) or it > could be something entirely different and I would > have no clue. > > Best to get it checked out.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 That bad odor is not a good sign. I was going to mention earlier that if it had a bad odor, that would probably mean an infection rather than spontaneous lactation. But you'll just have to get it checked out. Hopefully, if they are smart enough about it at your appointment, they might want to try to send a culture to the lab to see what it is. Better for you to know that much about it, so you can be more focused on your treatment. PattyLeyna <leyna1964@...> wrote: Tricia,Thanks for putting my mind a little bit at rest.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 It hasn't done it anymore-it was just a couple of drops....looked and had the consistancy of pus from a zit (sorry to be gross!). I don't know that a doctor could do anything...I mean, my Gyno has already set me up with a mammogram-and that's not gonna do a bit of good till I get these things out. Not sure if the plastic surgeon I'm going to on Thursday (well, IF my insurance is gonna cover it! Haven't heard yet) will be able to tell me anything-you know how most of them are-they think implants are SAFE. lol I keep getting these sort of "heat flashes" too, like feverish, so maybe it is an infection. No telling.Molly Bloom <mollyb54@...> wrote: Leyna,I had been researching this a little after you mentioned yours...and I came up with exactly what Patty said here.And her advice to see a doctor is good counsel.> > I just got undressed and noticed my left> > nipple has a white > > discharge! > > > > It was just a few drops, but I could squeeze it out> > of my nipple!! > > This is scaring me bad!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Well, I would say that if there was cancer there, they would have found it when they operated. This may be an infection, but you can be reasonably sure that it is not cancer. Is it hot around the area? Just watch it and have it checked next week.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Lynda, No, it's not hot around the area. I only had the discharge twice now, once before surgery and once after. It comes not from the nipple tip, but from the side of the nipple and it's just a drop or two, looks like pus, and it has a very foul odor. Very scary, as my Mom had breast cancer at my exact age I believe, or within a year or two. I didn't realized Monday was a holiday either, so I'll have to wait till Tuesday unfortunantly.Lynda <coss@...> wrote: Well, I would say that if there was cancer there, they would have found it when they operated.This may be an infection, but you can be reasonably sure that it is not cancer.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Breast cancer does not have the type of symptoms you describe. You very well could have an infection. Nothing that I would worry about too much unless you run a high fever, it gets very hot, or it gets painful. Lynda At 11:16 PM 10/6/2006, you wrote: >Lynda, >No, it's not hot around the area.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Leyna, I am sure if you had any sort of breast cancer it Melmed would have seen it. He always does a thorough check when he takes out the implants. He records the state of your breast tissue in the post-op. I would try not to worry too much. Whatever it is will be resolved soon. Did Melmed tell you to take the antibiotics? I would think that would knock out an infection. With the leaking implants you had, your body could be reacting to the silicone. But you got 'em out, honey! You're in the home stretch now, you'll be okay. If you feel really worried you could always go to the ER, but if you aren't having a fever I would wait and see the doc, and take the antibiotics if you haven't already. Bindi Bindi Bindi, When you take Guaifenesin exactly what symptom is it helping you with? Is it the fibromyalgia ? I can hardly get around as the pain from the fibromyalgia is so bad The doctors are just guessing it's fibromyalgia or is it ? Sandy~ Stay in the know. Pulse on the new .com. Check it out.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Bindi, I did get to talk to Dr. Melmed himself today. He said he did not see any cancer when he explanted me....but I still worry because this is the age that my Mom had breast cancer. Dr. Melmed said that it was a "disruption" that could be caused from a number of things, mainly surgery. I just thought it was weird that it was only in one breast I guess. I've been trying to google it, without much luck. I'll make an appointment with my Gyno next week though.freebindi <bindi@...> wrote: Leyna, I am sure if you had any sort of breast cancer it Melmed would have seen it.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Lynda, Thanks....I'm hoping it's just an infection! I'm totally against antibiotics, but I did get them filled and started on the ones Dr. Melmed gave me from surgery. There are only 3 in the bottle, but hopefully it will knock out whatever is wrong.Lynda <coss@...> wrote: Breast cancer does not have the type of symptoms you describe.You very well could have an infection.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Leyna, I had an infection in my milk ducts once and it caused exactly what you describe. My nipple was a bit sore and if I squeezed greenish watery discharge came out of my areola. Yuck! I don't know what caused it, but I treated it with epsom salt soaks and baths to draw out the discharge. It cleared up within a week or two without me having to take antibiotics. -KatyLeyna <leyna1964@...> wrote: Bindi, I did get to talk to Dr. Melmed himself today.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Katy, Thanks for your reply!! Did your nipple discharge have a bad odor too? Dr. Melmed had only given me 3 antibiotic pills, and I've taken one of them yesterday-didn't want to, but I increased my Grapefruit seed extract and my acidophilous, and bought some probiotic drinks, so hopefully I won't get a yeast infection! I will get some Epson salts like you did! Thanks! I had been googling it online and was reading scary stuff about breast cancer and needle biopsies, etc.....I'd much rather do a bath!katy mclean <thesuddendeparture@...> wrote: Leyna, I had an infection in my milk ducts once and it caused exactly what you describe.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Leyna, You might try doing a really strong epsom soak with a cup too.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Use lots (I don't think you can use too much, but I am not sure)! Maybe like a cup in a bath with water as warm as you can stand. Stay in there as long as you can! And it sounds weird but soak your infected side in a tea cup with a really strong epsom solution while your watching tv or something. I find that the epsom salt soak works well for sore swollen PMS symptoms too! Plus they are so cheap and easy to find.Leyna <leyna1964@...> wrote: Katy, Thanks-how much Epsom do you use?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Victor, I do not have any advice about the discharge, but it doesn't sound good. Perhaps someone else can help you with that. I would love to hear what alternative means your wife used to achieve a 60% reduction in tumor size! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thank you, Shirish. When you say that the tumor is about to break out of the skin, do you mean that it will rip and thus damage the skin and tissue? The nipple too? Actually, my wife has no pain associated with the tumor. My wife's doctor knew of salves to make the tumor rip out of the skin, but decided that wasn't a good thing to tear the skin that way and chose to allow the body to hopefully eat up the cancer cells gradually. Her alopathic doctor, who sees dozens of women a day, and can't remember one tumor from the other, insists the tumor is larger, and so does the radiologist who did the latest ultrasound. But the doctor didn't remember that she had cysts for instance, and didn't know what was going on with her, since he hadn't seen her since August. As for the ultrasound, I think that the ultrasound is a very imprecise way of measuring the size of the tumor. They say it varies according to who does it and the circumstances. We know that tumor very well from feeling it from time to time and it definitely has shrunk in the last 7 mos, unless it moved under the skin. Tumor markers showed there was no metastasis in July, I expect that's the case, now. She took Dr. 's anti-parasitic herbs, which would probably take care of any flukes, fungus, or parasites. Do you suppose her tumor is dormant or non-cancerous and they detect it nonetheless as cancer?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yes, when she was younger she drank coffee somewhat often, at work for the most part. She's taking Black Walnut Hull, Clove, and Wormwood, as called for Dr. to eliminate parasites, including flukes. What we're wondering is, if she does get rid of her cancer, or the tumor is dormant, how will we know. We will always have that nagging doubt. The doctors say she has a tumor and that it has to be removed. She's been taking a natural treatment for months, along with Noni,Pomegranite, Acai, Pineapple, all kinds of berries, there has been progress judging by what we can feel of the tumor, though allopaths say the tumor is actually larger. In any event, the progress has been limited as far as we're concerned and we are afraid it could metastasize. So, just what is bleeding when there is discharge through the nipple. Supposedly, the cancer is encapsulated for it not to metastasize I assume. That's why they don't do a biopsy so as not to let out the cancer cells, yet it is bleeding. Is that the contents of the tumor that are discharging (it's brown, by the way) or is it the surrounding tissue. I'm very confused about tumors. They say that cancer is what is contained inside the tumor at times, and at times that cancer is the tumor. Then I read that the tumor's blood flow can be cut off to kill it. Well, if it has blood flow, why is it the cancer cells don't flow out with the blood?

I had a " friend " who took care of her breast cancer(with nipple discharge) by cleaning out the flukes. I saw the discharge under a microscope. It was teaming with life, looked like swamp water under a microscope. Is or was your wife a caffeine or Latte drinker? Blue > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
