[pinky1212]

hello everyone
I have a strong family history of breast cancer mom and aunt had masectomies, i myself have a long history of papillomas and numerous breast biopies, 3 excisional,2 core, and ductal removals in both, all of the problems mostly with my right breast,until 6 months ago, i had a core biopsy for calcifications and being highly suspicious,came back benign, green fluid still persisted doc wanted to go in excisionally considering family history,he did a major ductal removal, he said i had several benign papillomas,so was very glad he went in, i was in alot of pain from this biopsy which lasted for about a month with some bloody discharge from niplle which my doc told me was normal, but not normal to be in so much pain, might i add he performed all my biopsies on my right breast and ductal excision and never felt like this before,, i never went back for my followup, and since then i have been having a burning stabbing sensation alot more than before my biopsy,there is also no way in this world to get my nipple hard its totally inverted, it was always a litle inverted but on stimulation it would get hard now forget it, there is also a small bb sized lump at the 9 oclock position from my nipple on my areola just underneath the surface of my skin , which i can feel through my clothing,I.m scheuduled to see a different breast surgeon at the end of this month, i called a new one as soon as i felt this lump a few days ago, the lump is about 4 mm and hard i dont know what anyone considers movable, in all myhistory i never felt a lump before,it kind of feels like its in the skin, and i just noticed today that the nipple is alot darker than my right breast, dont know how long its been that way since i hate looking in the mirror at my breast, they r very large, any ideas???????? its ony been 6 months after my excisional biopsy

hi went for my mamo ultrasoind and seen a new breast surgeon, mammo came back probably benign surgeon didnt even feel my lump and went totally according to the mamo and said sebaceous cystand added abcess, i iwll have report tomorrow , and which i will be going back to my old surgeon who does not like to take any chances with me, even though i had a probbaly benighn mammo i felt that the surgeon would still want it out,now that i came home and read about sebaceous cysts i made my mind up to go back to my other surgeon, on the internet it says seb cysts are painful and freely movable, mine is not mine is attached to the sufface of the skin just beneath it, not on the outside of it like an abcess, and considering my family history and my own history i dont know how the surgeon just completely ignored the lump, i mean her intern felt it before she came in but she did not, alot of times i had probbaly benign mammos and when excised it was papillomas, i know they r not cancerous but better out than in. dont u think? or am i over reacting

i know i should have went back for my follow up,when he told me the results i was pleased, and been so busy that i just never went back, my mistake, he also wasnt a breast cancer surgeon, he was just a general surgeon and seemed confused to me, i really dont do self exams every month because everything thing i feel is lumpy. i really dont kno whow i found this new lump probbaly because i can feel it over my blouse,, all previuos times i never felt a lump the doc would or ultrasound would, can a papilloma be in the areola area or further up the breast? i thought they were just behind the nipple, i'm seeing a breast surgeon next week to check all things out, i cannot get in for a mammo until late november, sorry i posted more thanonce i wasnt sure were to post this

I don't quite understand why you failed to go back for your follow-up as this would be the first thing I would think necessary from what you describe. You seem to have had rather extensive surgery on that breast and the discomfort and nipple problem doesn't seem all that unusual; this is a very sensitive area. The lump could also be due to your previous surgery or even a new papilloma. When multiple papillomas are present they are likely to recur. There is also an increased chance when multiple papillomas are present that malignancy may occur. I hope that you are doing monthly self breat exams and seeing your Dr. regularly for a clinical exam.   Regards ..
