Answered on 13th Sept '24

The lump on your chest above your left breast could be due to a few reasons. It might be a benign (non-cancerous) ovarian cyst or a swollen lymph node, or it might be caused by hormonal changes. Other reasons for the pain could include an injury or an infection risk. It is important to consult with an oncologist to clarify the cause and obtain the right therapy.

Should I Start Chemotherapy or Oncotype DX Test?

Hello, my sister discovered she had a breast cancer in March 24, she had a successful lumpectomy in March 28, the pathology report said that tumor was 22 x 23 x 18 mm, has 5 involved lymph nodes, ER strong positive ( score 8 ), PR negative, HER2 negative...  after that she did a pet/CT scan in May and the opinion of the radiologist written in the report was " patient with right breast cancer after surgery showing no evidence of hypermetabolic lesion distinctive for loco-regional resudal/recurrence of metastatic disease. I also attached the detailed results of the pet/ct itself. Now does it recommend for her to start chemotherapy or to do oncotype dx test first and btw she had 25 sessions of radiotherapy, so after the surgery ( in March) we had the radiotherapy in ( June) and now we don't know we have to start chemotherapy or do this test first since she has ER positive, HER2 negative and she's postmenopausal. She is 55 yrs old. Now I now your opinion, your advice and recommendations for us. And if she did the test and the result is law and chemotherapy is still recommended for her can she take at least a less intensive chemotherapy regimen.

From the information that you were able to share, it sounds like your sister had the necessary treatment done successfully for her breast cancer. Given that she is ERpositive and HER2 negative, the Oncotype DX test can be used to determine whether she requires chemotherapy. If the test indicates low risk, she might not have to undergo intensive chemotherapy. This check is based on the study of the genes present in cancer cells and helps to determine treatment methods. It is important to talk about these options with her oncologist so that the best solution can be found for her case.

One of the breast's lumps may be frightening, but it is necessary to stay calm. In your age group, it is less likely to be a serious problem. This could be due to hormonal changes, some cysts, or fibroadenomas. Visit an oncologist for a check-up. These lumps sometimes go away without any treatment, but it is better to get it checked to be safe.

Why is my breast painful with skin changes?

You I have had pain in only one breast since last December. The pain use to come and go. But it’s be straight pain for 4 months now. Sometimes I feel shooting pains and it goes into my armpit and down my arm. My nipple has a skin tag on it. My break has a discoloured spot about two inaches away from nipple. Not on my nipple but really close to it I have little little lumps where thick puss can come out. My nipple itself is not inverted but there is an indent right beside the nipple. Two months ago for about 3 days my gland on my neck right above my collar bone was swollen on the same side as my breast with problems

Pain, shooting pains, skin changes, lumps with pus, and swollen glands are all signs that need attention. All of these could be the result of different things, one of them being infections, the other one being breast cancer, but that is less common. It's vital to have an oncologist look at you and, if necessary, run tests for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

I am 32 years old. I have a 2-year-old daughter. My mother has breast cancer and is undergoing treatment. I noticed a mass in my breast 3 weeks ago. There are no signs of cancer. It is fixed, does not move. And I do not feel pain the size of a lentil. I was last evaluated in the Bırads 3 category 7 years ago. I have not been examined since.

Fibrocysts and fibroadenomas are typically non-cancerous. Usually, fibrocysts are bigger and can shift, like a grape, and they are associated with hormonal changes. Usually solid, can be movable, are fibroadenomas which are common in younger women. The outward signs may manifest as a lump in the breast. For sure, it is advisable to go to an oncologist.

First of all she needs to understand that it is not necessary that Lump will come out to be Cancerous only. Painless mobile lump can be Benign also. She should visit any oncologist (surgical/Medical/Radiation) for thorough check up and necessary investigations.

Dr. Donald Babu

Answered on 27th Aug '24

You may be undergoing symptoms associated with your breast health. The hardness of the right breast that you are feeling could be a lump, which might be produced by hormonal changes or the process of inflammation. The pain in both breasts may be caused by either hormonal fluctuations or wearing an improperly fitted bra. The red spots or rashes could be a result of a skin reaction. Regarding these issues, you should ensure you are wearing a bra that fits you properly and then seek consultation with an oncologist for further evaluation and guidance.

You are feeling some tightness and soreness in your right side breast. The symptoms could be due to issues like hormonal changes, trauma, or an infection. Wearing a well-fitted bra, applying warm compresses, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers may help with the discomfort. Get a professional evaluation and treatment from an oncologist.

According to the tests, there’s no evidence of any major problem such as cancer in either breast, which is fantastic news. The tiny calcification found in the left breast could have resulted from an old infection or inflammation. Currently, there’s no cause for alarm but it’s essential to have another checkup next year to be safe. In case you observe any unusual changes in your breasts before then, please let your doctor know.
