What could...

Cause your nipples to darken, your areolas to get bigger and to get random pains in your breasts OTHER than pregnancy???

Ive heard that those can be early signs of breast cancer but Im not sure if its true or not.

Quoting Caydence's mommy 4/4/09:" Ive heard that those can be early signs of breast cancer but Im not sure if its true or not."

I also have heard this. And I'm not sure if it's true or not either.

I still get them because my milk hasn't completely dried up all the way, and I still produce minimal amounts of breast milk, so I still get those pains and twinges every now and again.

Mine do that the week before af... Always have. My Gyno said it was normal when I mentioned it to her in high school  

I'm on CD 81. They don't know what is wrong with me   but I just noticed this. It's really sudden and they take up like half of my boob. I'd post a pic but idk if that'd be weird...

I'm getting worried and the doc won't listen.

I wonder how I would get a mammogram if they won't listen to me???

Demand one and if all else fails lie your ass off and tell them you have lots of family history of breast cancer so you are high risk for having it.

I think I found somewhere. My aunt did have it and colon cancer runs in the family (same strain as breast). I'm freaked out. I do have some lumps on my sides under my arms and some dimpling but idk if its from weight loss and the lumps are normal. I can't rely on self exams because I don't have normal periods. I have like 4 a year now.

Yeah I would be very serious about getting one done asap. Even if I had to pay out of pocket fully for it.

Yeah, I'm gonna call them on Monday.
The dimpling isn't really noticeable. But when I pull the skin taut (my breasts are VERY saggy and "loose") they're VERY noticeable. They've been really itchy too like so bad I scratched myself open.
I'm gonna call my aunt tomorrow and see how she learned she had it. She was in her late 30s/early 40s when she was diagnosed.
It's just so hard with not having a cycle and my breasts are already fibrous. Ugh.
