Immediately contact your gynecologist, if you are suffering from Breast cancer!
Breast cancer is a disease in which cancer cells are found in Breast tissue. A Breast has 15-20 sections called lobes, which have many smaller sections called lobules. Thin tubes called ducts connect lobes and lobules. There are numerous types of Breast cancer. For example, ductile cancer, found in the cells of the ducts, is the most common type of Breast cancer. Cancer that begins in the lobes or lobules is called lobular cancer. Treatment will depend on the type of Breast cancer and stage of the disease.
Eat a low fat diet high in fiber and complex carbohydrates. Foods such as cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower are thought by some to prevent Breast cancer. Do not eat charred or burnt food. Never eat moldy or rancid food. Don

That's exactly my situation, but I was only 35. I have no recommended follow up, either (had an elective mastectomy on the other side).
Scares me sometimes.

Dear japdip: In most cases at our institution, it is routine to provide an oncology consultation as part of the initial breast cancer treatment planning. It is common in tumors that have estrogen or progesterone receptors to include some form of antiestrogen therapy. If you are concerned, you might consider a consultation with an oncologist who has an interest in breast cancer who could discuss your situation and whether any additional therapy would be of value to you.
