Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I'm asking this question for a dear friend. She began to have breast leakage and has some kind of growth in her nipples. They told her it can't be cancer because " cancer never looks like that. " Her doctor says to just monitor it but her radiologist says she needs surgery. They first called it papilloma and now say it may be a tumor, blood clot, or " debris. " In other words, they are clueless. I'm wondering what the heck they mean by " debris " --never heard that as a medical term. Her health history is that she's 43, overweight, had a terratoma tumor on an ovary years ago, had it removed,later had 2 children, youngest is 3, if that's of any relevance. She doesn't eat the healthiest diet. She does not have fatigue or pain. She does drink coffee. I'm concerned about her. Yeast tumors crossed my mind. I don't know if she's going to have it biopsied; I'm going to suggest that as the doctors don't seem to be planning it. I think people here are sharper than most doctors so I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas of what it could be. Sorry if this is off-topic. I appreciate any responses. Thanks, Vicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
