Depending on the extent of the disease, treatment will lead to meeting different specialists.\nDiagnosis will take you to: Radiologist, pathologist, medical lab tech, general surgeon (or breast surgeon).\nTreatment: radio- or medical oncologist, general (breast) surgeon.\nIf that's all too much, the most important people that would be involved in caring for you and seeing you the most would be the surgeon or oncologist, depending on the mode of treatment, and they can often be combined surgery and drug and radiation. These two people would consult with the other specialists who you may not actually meet. \nSo if you want to meet someone for breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, meet the surgeon and oncologist.

It could still be non-cancerous (benign), but her family history of breast cancer could mean that she also will have it at some point. Kylie Minogue and Anastacia had it, and they were young too. But please wait for the results and then deal with it when the time comes, find out all about the treatment options, most importantly find a doctor that your girlfriend is comfortable with. Treatment for breast cancer is so advanced nowadays, if it is caught early, there is a lot that can be done.

It depends on the location and type of tumor.  I had a similar diagnosis and had breast conserving surgery, radiation and now chemotherapy because of recurrence.  Susan Love's Breat Book was a good resource at that time.  If the cancer is hormone receptive, her doctors may subscribe a 5 year course of Tamoxifen.  Give her lots of hugs.

I work in a hospital and deal with ladies  with breast cancer on a daily basis. I get my fiance to check mine as well as checking them myself. I check his aswel. U can never be too careful.\nEspecially the younger lads from 16 up. Always check your breasts and testicles. You need to get to know what they feel like normally then u will know if theres anything abnormal.\nI think a goo boob size is 34 C/D.

It doesn't necessarily mean trouble, they just have to revise some things that could or couldn't be troublesome. You could ask if a biopsy could be help full. Getting diagnosed early can save your life (and breasts).

You really need to talk to your surgeon if you are having post-operative problems.  You should also talk to your oncologist about your prognosis.

Believe it or not, the safest way to go at the moment is surgury. If you just leave them, they could become malignant, where as, if you have surgury, the risk is far less. The same thing happened to my mother, and she had surgury and turned out fine. There was a history of breast cancer in her family, as both her mother and grandmother had it. I assure you, surgery is the best way to go. (My mother is looking over my shoulder, and she agrees. Actually, you're about her age, too.)

An Early Breast Cancer Detection Plan should include: \n\nClinical breast examinations every three years from ages 20-39, then every year thereafter. \nMonthly breast self-examinations beginning at age 20. Look for any changes in your breasts. \nBaseline mammogram by the age of 40. \nMammogram every one to two years for women 40-49, depending on previous findings. \nMammogram every year for women 50 and older. \nA personal calendar to record your self-exams, mammograms, and doctor appointments. \nA low-fat diet, regular exercise, and no smoking or drinking.\n\nOther tests that can be done (usually after an abnormal mammogram or after a woman or her doctor feels a lump) include:\nultrasound, CT scan, MRI, PET scanning, ductal levage, biopsy, blood test, nuclear bone scans and x-ray.

The best way to combat cancer is a good defense.  In otherwords, catching cancer early is your best chance of survival.  Regular check-ups, pap smears, self breast exams, mamograms all help in regards to what are frequently called women's cancers.  Doctors often will remove cancerous or precancerous cells if they're found.  If the disease is caught early enough, this may be the only treatment needed.  Otherwise, there are a variety of other treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy that are used depending on the type of cancer.
