That doesn't mean only breast cancer can be caused by aerosols, nor does it mean that aerosols necessarily cause cancer. The study basically showed a statistical link between aerosols and cancer, which doesn't necessarily equate to aerosol use increasing your risk of cancer, it's at far too early a stage to be exactly sure. For the moment if you're really concerned then stop using aerosols altogether, however until there're more definitive studies it's really all up in the air.

Don't know how old you are, but I too had a scare myself when I was 15. Found a lump in my right breast and thought the worst. Also had a dark green discharge that came out of the right nipple. Had the lump removed and it turned out to be fine. Hope you also get good news and in the meantime, try hard to relax abit. Lastly, IF it does turn out to be breast cancer, just remember that alot of women these days live for many years with cancer or can be cured of cancer all together. Just take things one step at a time and go from there!

Cancerous lumps are typically hard as rock, so you'll know if you feel anything abnormal. That's a good indicator to let you know if you may be at risk for breast cancer. If you don't feel anything hard, you may be lucky. As hard as it is to wait, besides praying to God everything is okay, it's the only thing you can do at this point. I hope everything turns out okay.

The most common symptom is a lump or thickening that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue; but bear in mind that most breast lumps are not cancer - 80% of breast lumps considered suspicious enough for biopsy are found to be benign. In a woman under 50 they're even less likely to be cancer. Other possible symptoms of breast cancer are nipple change – if it becomes inverted 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) constant pain - in one part of your breast or in your armpit - though pain is rarely a symptom of breast cancer. It's important to know that breast cancer is almost unheard of in under 25s, fewer than 0.1% of all those diagnosed with it are under 30, only 5% are under 40 and most (80%) are over 50.

The BEST way to find a lump is w/regular self exams! No one knows ur breast better then U do! And if U find a lump, GO TO THE DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. Most breast lumps are benign. But it doesn't pay to take that chance! And the really bad thing is..most tumors are painless. And a lot of breast cancer patients don't have any symptoms (other then the lump).Mine was. I had a half-dollar sized lump that was treated w/ Herceptin (which I know is usually a late stage cancer treatment, but I was HER2+) and a mild course of radiation. I was doing exams monthly, and found the lump. Had it of not been for my husband and my daughters, I might have put off going. Just because it didn't hurt, I didn't wanna think it was anything. But I am sooo glad that my family was there for me! They saved my life!! Something all of U have forgotten to mention. The BEST way to find a lump is w/regular self exams!

The symptoms of metastatic breast cancer depend on where else the cancer has spread eg secondary bone cancer will result in bone pain. I had breast cancer when I was 31. My symptoms were milky discharge from the nipple for 2 years prior to finding the lump. Mammograms are not a useful diagnostic tool for younger women because their breast tissue is dense. I had 2 mammograms (as a matter of procedure) and both failed to show the lump even though it was visible to the eye by that stage. Ultrasound or MRI are used with younger women.
