Why would I have an enlarged lymph node in my breast?

ASKED by Anonymous on April 16, 2009 - 6:21am

I am a 30 y.o. female with no family history of breast cancer. I found a lump in my right breast a short while ago. Over the next few weeks I had 2 sets of mammograms and an ultrasound done.

The Comfort in Liking Your Doctors

Written by Dave Balch on September 29, 2009 - 1:34pm

The doctor came to the waiting area following the lumpectomy in my wife’s right breast to tell me what they had found. I was just sure that he was going to tell me, “We removed the entire tumor and there’s nothing more to worry about, so just go and have a nice life.”

Tingling, Sore, Tender Breast. Nipples very sensitive at times. Even wearing a bra is uncomfortable at times. Monthly cycle due this next Sunday March 8th. Have had tender breast a week pryor but never the "tingling" sensation.?

This is just an odd feeling for me. I have always had sore breast pryor but never to the extent of hard to wear a bra. I am concerned if this is something that i should call my ob/gyn about.

Listen up, “the jury’s in!” says the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Liposuctioned fat can be used effectively for breast augmentation. This was the conclusion of a study of 50 patients presented at the annual conference of the ASPS held in Seattle last month.

Tuberous Breasts - To Fix or Not to Fix?

Written by Cathy Enns on May 3, 2009 - 12:14pm

I’ve seen postings recently in a feminist forum about tuberous breasts, and whether one would be justified in having plastic surgery to improve them. The woman who initiated the discussion said she wanted to have the procedure, but felt bad about it. As a feminist, she said she felt “angry” that she was longing for surgery and even that she “wanted to die at the thought.”

For those women who have had mastectomies, implants will be presented as a standard part of the recovery process.
