What is the difference between breast cancer and breast tissue cancer

What is the difference between breast cancer and breast tissue cancer?
What is the difference apart from the location (do not include the symptoms) What are the possible rates for a 15 year old to get breast cancer and a 15 year old to get breast tissue cancer? I really need to know if my friend is lying to me, I only found out yesterday the she had it.

Cancer in the breast is cancer of the breast tissue. One and the same thing. A 15 year old can get breast cancer, but it is not very likely.
2 :
Breast cancer and breast tissue cancer is the same thing there is no difference. From 1975 to 2000 1.3 in every one million 15-19 year olds were diagnosed with breast cancer. It is very unlikely your friend has breast cancer if she is only 15 years old

Completely different. The chemotherapy is very hard on a person. Also her staging may really change her life. As in she may need her ovaries, and uterus taken out as well so that she doesn't get more cancer that is dependent on estrogen. Her mom may lose her hair, get really sick, everything. Be supportive. Make them dinners, etc.. You friend's mom is in for the long haul, weakness, and hell....
2 :
Most definitely !! I was myself at a young age diagnosed with a stage 3B, BC in 1998. My kids both in college,husband was never home, my kids both were engaged to marry at the same time also. After the lumpectomy, and 1st set of chemo treatments my kids could not handle my illness/side effects of chemo. My daughter moved out, broke off her engagement, my son stayed but went into a " drug frenzy " and is no longer engaged. But what I learned from this, BC has the highest divorce rate, and both kids were effected by there verbal, then violent abuse from there Dad on me vs chemo, and the on-going side affects. Now....8 yrs later Cancer free, but still numerous medical illnesses from it. My husband I am with, but pray for his "illness", as a abuser. I am proud to say that from this, my daughter graduated from college and works in the State Attorneys ofc. as a advocate for the victims of abuse.My son also finished and is leaving for DC in a high profile career, both are God's blessing to me. It's hard for kids to put on a smile, and reverse roles, don't shut your friend out, listen, listen, listen. God bless your friend's Mother.

Her life will be very different. People react very shockingly as far as I'm concerned. Those you think you can count on well you cant. Those you don't come through. It wrecks some relationships, others it brings closer together. It's a terrible disease with long term effects, physically and emotionally. The best thing you can do is to be there, just be there and do what you can to help the person and get them out and enjoying life and participating in it. To be shut off in doom and gloom doesn't do anybody good. It's a pity there aren't more services and volunteers to help people out especially on the onset of cancer. It's such a terrifying time and all the unknowns can literally cripple you with fear and anxiety. Being supportive is what a person needs. So be a friend and you don't have to say anything if you don't know what to say. Just be there.
4 :
Yes. If she is young, and dependent on her mom, she will have to help out a bit more. If she is an adult, and nearby, she may have to help out a lot more. Either way, your friend will be frightened. But there are no tests to tell if there is a cancerous cell here or there in the body. They will look at what they removed, and base future treatment upon the type of cancer, the stage, the condition of individual cells (there's a word, but I've forgotten it) her history, and many other things. Meanwhile, some things you can tell your friend are that the docs are doing everything they can to get her mother well. Many, many (I believe it is most) women live full, long lives after breast cancer. And even if she needs chemo and/or radiation, I've had both, and they weren't nearly as bad as people warned me! Not anywhere near as bad as I expected. And further treatment does NOT mean she is more likely to die, but that her particular cancer responds well to those treatments, which is actually a GOOD thing! But there will be a lot of running around to do, appointments to keep, test results to learn about and, if she has chemo, possibly a few hospitalizations for infections. These things are hard on a family. The hospital almost certainly has, or can recommend, groups for kids (or adults) who have loved ones with cancer. They can help a lot. You are welcome to contact me if I can help, and so is she. As far as those who tell you horror stories (in for hell), that's a matter of attitude. I've known women who actually didn't survive who were beautiful, strong and happy, right up to the end. Yes they were sick, and yes, there was pain, but there were pain meds and they made their peace with life and their loved ones, and I guarantee you, it was not hell. And it's WAY too soon to be worrying about that for your friend or her mom, anyway. She'll probably get well.

Breast cancer, any kind of disease for that matter, is a life changing experience for everyone associated with the patient. I had breast cancer 12 years ago. My daughter was eight at the time. We explained to her what was happening and for a eight year old she did pretty good. Sure, she was scared I was going to die and felt horrible when I was puking my guts out after chemo, but we tried to maintain a normal routine. Her life didn't seem to get affected that much, she went to school, played, was a pain in the @ss sometimes. Things might have been different if she was older at the time. All this to say that,your friend might want to spend more time with her mom, depending how her mom feels, she will have to help her with stuff around the house, shopping, take care of the younger one, if there is any. You will have to be patient, understanding , you are going to have to support her, give her strenght, no matter what. She will need you, just as her mom will need her. Make her laugh, if not offer a good shoulder to cry. Life goes on and things have a tendency to right themselves after a while. Just be there for her, OK.
6 :
Yes, it will be different for a long time. Cancer really does change a person's life and the life of their families and those closest to them. Cancer is not the death sentence that it has been in the past. With a good amount of preparation, you and your friend can be prepared for whatever the news is when the results come back. Even if the cancer hasn't spread, I will be surprised if the doctor doesn't recommend chemo to be on the safe side. I pray that hers hasn't spread. There are side effects to chemo, and they vary with the type that is given. My husband's mom went through chemo for breast cancer over 5 years ago and she dealt with a lot of fatigue and hair loss. Those will probably happen to your friends mom if she has to endure chemo. Nausea is another possibility also. If you have any questions you can email me at cheesecake_lady03@yahoo.com
7 :
Hey with friends like you, this too shall pass away
8 :
It depends on many things. It does cause a strain on the family but everybody has to lean on each other. If her mother does have cancer, she needs to keep in mind that people beat cancer all the time and her mother can too. Chemo sounds terrible but they can treat a lot of the problems associated with it nowadays, such as nausea. Another thing is that if her mother does receive chemo, her hair will fall out, she won't look like she feels well, and she'll probably feel run down. The important thing to remember is it's the medicine that is doing that, not the cancer. She'll return to normal after treatment. Talk to your friend and try to help her keep some sort of normalcy in life. Don't ask her about her mother's health all the time because spending time with her friends may be the only relief from the scary situation she is going thru at home

Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer?
I'm 17 and a senior at highschool and a student at the School of Nursing and I'm a huge advocate for Breast Cancer research and support. I'm always wearing my pink ribbon and my pink ribbon necklace and I have many breast cancer/pink ribbon clothing articles. Since it's breast cancer awareness month I tried to see what my community//county and surronding cities are doing to support...........and I found out...completely nothing. At the highschool football games I take donations and sell pink ribbons. I'm getting some pretty positive responses from this but I need more. Does anyone know where I can get free materials for breast cancer awareness other than just printing stuff off the internet?

I'm honoring you for your hard work and I'm glad your doing this. Every person should do something kind to one other who really needs it. What do you mean free materials for breast cancer awareness? Other than that, here is some advice. 1. You should make a poster and add short phrases of informatino about breastcancer when you sell the pink ribbons and broshures. Everyone should be aware of breast cancer. 2. Send e-mails to all your friends and family to aware of this deadly cacner. 3. Other than selling pink ribbons, do a bake sale...if appropriate.
3 :
It makes me so happy to know that there are other people out there who care about finding a cure! Visit www.curebreastcancer.org when you get a chance. This organization was founded by Dr. Bodai, who created the breast cancer stamp, and has since gone back to Congress in an effort to allow the continuation of the stamp. He is awesome, and that web site should offer a plethora of information and resources. Thank you fo being a part of the fight against Breast Cancer.
4 :
While cure for any cancer might not be around the bend You might consider making an appeal of some sort to politicians to guide more funds to mammography and such to help minimize fatalities and human suffering, and in addition help to reduce costs from reviving of such. Maybe try to collect likeminded and make namelists and send them to Your congressperson? A few bucks is good but governmental concern would be a turning point. Keep up the good work!

no, your tits are still growing thats why u feel those lumps
2 :
ask you mother to feel for lumps in your breast or tell you feel them and see a doctor fast.
3 :
you should feel those lumps. but I suggest to go see a doctor and get a mammogram. you never know.
4 :
Doctors tell you to feel for lumps as part of self brest exams. If you feel lumps go see your doctor. Being 13 lumps can be normal as part of normal breast tissue devlopment. But your doctor is probably just teaching you a good habit of checking your breast once a month.
5 :
talk to your doctor he can give you some good advice about breast cancer and or go see other doctor to get better advice
6 :
When doctors suggest you give yourself a breast examination monthly to detect lumps, they are referring to literally manipulating your breasts with your fingertips, up, down, left, right, over the entirety of each breast and under your arms. You don't squeeze them, you take your fingers and make small circular motions, pressing down. Just about every woman will feel some lumpy tissue in their breasts when they perform their monthly examination. These lumps are perfectly normal, often accompanied by tenderness, and are caused by hormonal changes. Just stay aware of your body, and note any long-term lumps, ones which do not seem to go away in a matter of weeks. At your age, you really don't have anything to worry about, but it's always good to begin an examination regime early.
7 :
First thing, go back to school and learn how th write. The doctor is talking about lumps that you feel. As you regularly do the BSE, you will learn the difference between the lumps of the mamary glands in your breasts and the lumps formed by enlarged lymph glands. The mamary glands are usually closer to the center of the breast and fairly close to the nipple. If you feel round lumps several inches away from the nipple or under your arm, then it is time to consult with your doctor

BREAST CANCER

~*~BREAST CANCER???~*~?
I really need to ask some questions. I'm 12 and when I started to develop breasts I started to notice 1 lump almost the size of my boob, but in both of them. Since there was one in both I thought it was normal. But I asked my friend about it, and she said she didn't have a lump in the middle of her breast, and she's more developed then me, so I started to think about breast cancer, but can girls my age get it? And having one lump in both of your breasts normal????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stop worrying, this is completely normal. These are your breast buds. Your friend is developing at a different rate from you, that's all. The chances of a 12 year old having breast cancer are very, very close to zero. It's mainly a disease of ageing - 80% of those diagnosed are over 50, it's rare in women under 40 and almost unheard of in under 25s. The American Cancer Society recommends that women begin breast self-examination at the age of 20 - there's a reason for that The many changes in your breasts during the teenage years are hormonal and completely normal. Please stop worrying, you are developing perfectly normally.
5 :
it is really rare for girls your age to get it, and it is definitely not cancer if u have the lumps in both breasts and at the same spot

Breast cancer

Breast cancer?
I'm 21 and today when I do someting with my right hand, something hirts near my right breast. Can it be breast cancer? I have my period now. Is it common for a girl my age to get it? None of my family members had breast cancer.

1 :
Sometimes your breasts will hurt during your period. It's natural. You most likely have nothing to worry about.
2 :
It is common to feel pain there especially during that time of the month. If you have breast cancer, it will not usually hurt-- you will just feel a new lump. If you feel lumps, they may be nothing. Some people have cysts in their breasts that are not cancer. I had a big one--did not hurt. I got it removed and it was not cancer. So, just feel your breasts for lumps and do self-examinations. Plus let you doctor do this to feel for anything you missed--usually done during your yearly physical. However, if you feel something different, you should go to your doctor about it, to be on the safe side. If you just feel some pain there, while on your period, that is common, and I have the same thing during that time.
3 :
It's probably not breast cancer. I've never seen a breast cancer manifest itself in a pain like that. To be totally sure, you should see your doctor, but my guess is that it is not. You probably strained a muscle that runs through that area. Good luck! http://www.freedom-from-genital-warts.com http://www.cancer-guides.com
