I am a 51-year-old female perimenopausal woman. My mother got breast cancer when she was 40 (long before her menopause at 52). I have heard that premenopausal breast cancer is different from postmenopausal breast cancer. Will my inherited risk factor decrease after menopause?
I got breast implants a week ago, and I feel like I can't breathe. It feels like someone is choking me. Is this a normal feeling?
If you have a hysterectomy, is it possible to still produce breast milk?
I'm 20 and have noticed that over the past few months my breasts seem like they are getting smaller. I have not lost or gained any weight and my diet hasn't changed. I would think that my clothes are just getting stretched out from being worn so much, but when I try on a new bra or shirt they don't fit the way they would have last year. Is this normal or should I be worried?
I had a sonogram of my right breast done. They said I had several small "lumps" there. They also said that this is OK and that they are not masses. Can you tell me what the difference is?
My mother had breast cancer when she was 54, and two of my aunts (mom's sisters) were diagnosed with breast cancer. I am 32 years old. Should I be screened for the breast cancer gene?
Does menopausal hormone therapy cause breast cancer or not?
I'm interested in enrolling in a clinical trial for breast cancer treatment. Can you explain to me how one works, what might be available and what I can hope to gain from it?
Many over-the-counter medications warn against taking them if you have high blood pressure. What medications should I avoid and why?
