Hi.I just turned 38.Lately I have been having breast pain ,breast tenderness,loss of weight,enlarged veins under the arm on the same side,the breast looks slightly larger than the other,and a red dot has appeared next to the nipple.I went to the doctor but she didn't feel anything,but am having mammogram and physical next week.They already did an ultrasound,I thought I saw a white clump of white stuff on the u/s,I was watching them perform it.They had it in a box and I think printed it out.I'm getting results of that next week also.I'm scared.Has anyone else gone through this too? What are the chances it's cancer? I lost 4 pomds since last thursday and I eat McDonald's food! so why am I losing weight? Also have a bad wisdom tooth on that side getting pulled out ASAP,could the tooth be doing all this?
I have pain in my shoulder,arm,and the side of my neck,too.HELP! OPINIONS please...Has anyone else gone thru this,like the ultrasound? I need answers!
Thanx.
N.Y.

    hi there!
    Yes, I have had breast pain and pain in my armpit. Unfortunately, mine turned out to be cancer. I believe you have done the best thing possible which was to have a mammogram. Many things can show up on a mammogram, including calcifications and fibrous cysts both being benign (not cancer). I hope all goes well with you and you are in my prayers. The ultrasound, by the way, gives the doctors a better view of what is going on beneath the skin. Sometimes one scan or xray just isn't enough. I can tell you to try to keep your mind busy as waiting for results will drive you madly insane. God bless,
    Angelpie
