Breast cancer is a disease which is dreaded by every woman. It is
characterized by hard, painless lump in breast. It is very common
now-a-days. A woman must visit a gynaecologist, if she finds a lump
in her breast.
What is breast cancer
Breast cancer often presents itself
as a hard, painless lump in one breast. Although breast cancer is rare
under the age of thirty and very uncommon before the age of forty, the
disease must at least be considered in any woman with a persistent breast
lump.
If I detect a lump
in my breast, could it be cancer
Breast lumps are among the most common
complaints of women who visit gynaecologists. Whenever women feel their
breasts, they are paranoid that they will discover a lump. It is probably
because of this fear they feel they have detected a lump in their breasts
every time they feel them. That can only mean one thing - the dreaded C
word - cancer.
Three conditions must be distinguished
in women with breast lumps: fibrocystic disease, fibroadenoma, and breast
cancer.
a) Fibrocystic Disease: Women with fibrocystic disease may
feel many tiny cysts when they examine their breasts, and a consistency
of lumpiness or doughiness.
b) Fibroadenoma:
Fibroadenomas are solitary, firm,
mobile, benign tumors commonly found in young women in their twenties.
c) Breast cancer:
Breast cancer often presents itself
as a hard, painless lump in one breast.
Is breast cancer common
Studies have shown the frequency
of breast cancer in women is on the rise, partly due to the increased awareness
of the disease and its diagnosis. It has also been seen that one
in every eight women (or 12% of the women) will develop breast cancer.

it is very important to get a second or even a third opion.i had my brest removed several years ago. the doctor said that my lump had cancer tenducies. so he said the best thing to do was to have my breast removed. and to have kemo as well. at the time i was going through a seperation and was confused and frightened. but it all was done and after all the test came back it was determaned that i didn't have cancer. so make sure you have many oppinions.
