Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 -This symptom has been around for quite a while. Ihad a friend with that symptom about 5 years ago. Diagnosis- Breast Cancer. This symptom is not very well advertised. It is good you posted it on the website. Another rare symptom is the skin on the breast looking like an orange peel. I suggest that anytime you notice a change in the appearance of your breast to see a doctor and express your concerns. Have it checked out. Again, be proactive in your health care Pert - In breastcancer2 , " Trisha " wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > Subject: New Form of breast cancer > > Unusual form of Breast Cancer > > > > > > A woman in our church also has this type of cancer which began as a rash > > > on the back of her neck.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I'd also suggest anytime things FEEL different. My breast just felt different, full, like it was bruised. Dr still doesn't know why, but it led to a mammogram which showed the suspicious area, which lead to a biopsy, which will lead to the lumpectomy. Might still have to deal with whatever is causing some pain in my breast, but we will have taken care of the lump.
