Bleeding nipples

My name is Sara and I have a friend that has RSD, she also has depression and bladder and bowel problems.  She went to the doctor and they asked if her breasts leaked.  She is bleeding from her nipples, so the doctor ordered a mamogram A.S.A.P.

Dear Sara, Many women have some type of nipple discharge or fluid when their breasts are squeezed, and its normal. Squeezing the nipple sends message to the brain and the pituitary gland responds by increasing prolactin levels, which in turn produces discharge from the nipple.  The discharge can come in a variety of colors

Sorry.  Any way what does this mean for her.  Could this be breast cancer.  I'm so worried about her.  It's like she just can't take anymore.  Please tell me what you think.
Thanks,
