I hope you will forward this to all of your female < friends... < RARE FORM OF BREAST CANCER < In November, I lost my sister to a rare kind of breast cancer. She < developed a rash on her breast, similar to that of young mothers who are < nursing. Because her mammogram had been clear, the doctor treated her with < antibiotics for infections. After 2 rounds and it continued to get worse, < her doctor sent her for another mammogram, and this time it showed a mass. < A biopsy found a fast growing malignancy. Chemo was started in order to < shrink the growth; then mastectomy; then a full round of chemo; then < radiation. After about 9 months of intense treatment, she was given a < clean bill of health. One year of living each day to its fullest - then it < returned to the liver area. She took 4 treatments and decided that she < wanted quality of life, not the after effects of chemo. We had 5 great < months and she planned each detail of the final days.After just a few days < of needing morphine, she slipped away saying she had done what God had < sent her into the world to do and now it was her time to go. I still have < tears as I write, but her message is shown below. < PLEASE-Be alert to any thing that is not normal, and be persistent in < getting help as soon as possible. < JUANITA BUSH < Paget's Disease < This is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the outside of the breast, < on the nipple and aureola. It appeared as a rash, which later became a < lesion with a crusty outer edge. I would not have ever suspected it to be < breast cancer but it was. My nipple never seemed any different to me, < butthe rash bothered me, so I went to the doctor for that. Sometimes, it < itched and was sore, but other than that it didn't bother me. It was just < ugly and a nuisance, and could not be cleared up with all the creams < prescribed by my doctor and dermatologist for the dermatitis on my eyes < just prior to this outbreak. They seemed a little concerned but did not < warn me it could be cancerous. Now I suspect there are not many women out < there who know a lesion or rash on the nipple or aureola can be breast < cancer. Mine started out as a single red pimple on the aureola. One of the < biggest problems with Paget's disease of the nipple is that the symptoms < appear to be harmless. It is frequently thought to be a skin inflammation < or infection, leading to unfortunate delays in detection and care. < What are the symptoms? The symptoms include: < 1. A persistent redness, oozing, and crusting of your nipple causing it < to itch and burn. (As I stated, mine did not itch or burn much, and had no < oozing I was aware of, but it did have a crust along the outer edge on one < side). < 2. A sore on your nipple that will not heal. (Mine was on the aureola < area with a whitish thick looking area in center of nipple). < 3. Usually only one nipple is affected. < < How is it diagnosed? < Your doctor will do a physical exam and should suggest having a mammogram < of both breasts, done immediately. Even though the redness, oozing and < crusting closely resemble dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), your < doctor should suspect cancer if the sore is only on one breast. Your < doctor should order a biopsy of your sore to confirm what is going on. < They will take a sample of your breast tissue in that area to test for < cancer. If the cancer is only in the nipple and not in the breast, your < doctor may recommend just removing the nipple and surrounding tissue or < suggest radiation treatments. Had my doctor caught mine right away, < instead of flaking it off as dermatitis, perhaps they could have saved my < breast, and it wouldn't have gone to my lymph nodes. < This message should be taken seriously and passed on to as many of your < friends as possible; it could save someone's life. My breast cancer has < spread and metastasized to my bones after receiving mega doses of < chemotherapy, 28 treatments of radiation and taking tamaxofin. If this had < been diagnosed as breast cancer in the beginning, perhaps it would not < have spread... < TO ALL READERS- This is sad as women are not aware of Paget's disease. If, < by passing this around on the e-mail, we can make others aware of it, and < its potential danger, we are helping women everywhere. Please, if you can, < take a moment to forward this message to as many people as possible, < especially to your family and friends. It only takes a moment, yet the < results could save a life! < < < <
