a diet that is rich in “essential fatty acids” can prevent and sometimes remove ****** cancer fibers. Other than massaging your ****** and finding a lump, you will need to have a “mamo-gram” women should be checked every so often

Well what I can tell you is that the actual tumor does not hurt. If there is a lump, you can percuss it, pinch it, anything and it won’t hurt, whereas cysts and the like are accompanied with pain.

Hi- If you find a lump with a self exam, that is a reason to go to the Dr. Also, get yearly Mammograms, if the Physician feels this is necessary. Here are some sites that will help you out. Good luck and take care!
Lung Cancer
Check your ******* for dimpling of the skin or ******* that are going in rather than out, or anything that looks out of the ordinary (for you).
Lung Cancer
The first symptom of ****** cancer for many women is a lump in their ******. But 9 out of 10 ****** lumps (90%) are benign. That means they are not cancers. Most benign ****** lumps are
Areas of benign ****** change, causing lumpiness that is more obvious just before a period, particularly in women over 35
Cysts – sacs of fluid in the ****** tissue. These are quite common
Fibroadenoma – a collection of fibrous glandular tissue. These are more common in younger women
Pain doesn’t usually mean cancer. Many healthy women find that their ******* feel lumpy and tender before a period. And some benign ****** lumps are painful. Many women get pain in their ******* for a while, which goes after a time. There may be no obvious reason for the pain, even with lots of tests. Most ****** pain is not caused by cancer, but some ****** cancers do cause pain, so if you are worried, see your GP.

Prevention may be higher daily doses of vitamin D, and eat your broccoli, and maintain a low fat diet. Signs of ****** cancer might be an inverted nipple, ****** discharge, surface redness and irregular surface , pau de orange,. The last two are for inflammatory ****** cancer or Paget’s disease of the ******.
Lung Cancer
First, just to correct some misinformation – MOST cancerous ****** lumps are not painful, but they can be – mine was.
Early ****** cancer usually has no symptoms at all. The signs and symptoms of possible ****** cancer are:
change in size – one ****** may have become noticeably larger or lower
nipple change – if it becomes inverted (pulled in) or changes its position or shape
rash – on or around the nipple
discharge – from one or both nipples
puckering or dimpling – around nipple
swelling – in your armpit or around your collarbone (from lymph nodes)
lump or thickening – that feels different from the rest of the ****** tissue – but remember that most ****** lumps are not cancerous
As for prevention – I’m afraid obody knows what causes ****** cancer – cancer researchers don’t, so nobody here will. So nobody knows how to prevent it.
It is a lot easier and less scary for people who haven’t had cancer to ‘blame the victim’ by putting an individual’s cancer down to lifestyle factors like diet than it is for them to accept that cancer is a largely random disease that can strike any of us at any time.
I once thought that my organic vegan diet would protect me against cancer. It didn’t.
There ARE recognised risk factors for ****** cancer, some preventable, some not. They’re only risk factors though, and most women ticking one or all of the boxes don’t get ****** cancer and some women who have none of these risk factors do get ****** cancer.
The risk factors are:
Genetic – but only 5-10% of ****** cancers are genetic/hereditary
Getting older – the greatest risk factor; 80% of those diagnosed with ****** cancer are over 50
Having children at an older age or not at all. The more children a woman has may also slightly lower her risk. Breast-feeding helps protect against the disease. The longer a woman breastfeeds her children, the more she lowers her risk.
Starting periods at a younger than average age (under 12) or having a late menopause (after 55)
.
Taking the contraceptive pill or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) causes a small increase in risk. However, the risk gradually returns to normal after you stop taking them.
Being overweight (especially after the menopause).
Regularly drinking more than 1 unit of alcohol per day slightly increases the risk of ****** cancer.
Having a previous diagnosis of ****** cancer increases the risk of developing a new cancer in the other ******.
As I said though, someone may tick all of these boxes, and never get cancer.
