> In November, a rare kind of breast cancer was found. A lady 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,
>it continued to get worse, so her doctor sent her for another
mammogram.
>This time it showed a mass. A biopsy found a fast
>growing malignancy. Chemo was started in order to shrink the growth;
then a
>mastectomy was performed; then a full round of Chemo;
>then radiation. After about 9 months of intense treatment, she was
given a
>clean bill of health. She had one year of living each
>to its fullest. Then the cancer returned to the liver area. She took 4
>treatments and decided that she wanted quality of life,
> not the after effects of Chemo. She had 5 great months and she
planned
>each detail of the final days. After a few days of need

>Paget's disease: This is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the
>outside of the breast, on the nipple and
> aureole 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, but the 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 not many women out there know a lesion or rash on the
nipple
>or aureole can be breast cancer. Mine
>started out as a single red pimple on the aureole. One of the biggest
>problems with Paget's disease the nipple is
>that the symptoms appear to be harmless. It is frequent thought to be a

>skin inflammation or infection, leading to
>unfortunate delays in detection and care.

>
>What are the symptoms?
>
>
>
>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 aureole
area
>with a whitish thick looking area in center of nipple).
>

>
>3. Usually only one nipple is effected. 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.
