Patient discussion about observing.

Q. My wife(53) has elevated CEA and CA19.9 levels - near 150, without any concomitant reason/observation? Comment

A. Hi Bobby3,

The most important question is why were these tests done?
An elevated level may result from many causes, some of them are simple and some are more problematic. IMHO the best thing would be consulting her doctor to consider the need to check-up her alimentary system.

Q. I am observing some change in the nipple of my left breast. Can anyone give information? I am 44 year old women and from some days I am observing some change in the nipple of my left breast. My nipple is drawn inside. My haggard nipple apart from itching burns as well. The size of my left breast is increased. Some bloody discharge from nipple is giving indication that there is something happening wrong. I doubt if it may be a breast cancer. Can anyone give some information?

A. the fact that bloody discharge from the nipple is probably a bad sign is clear. now what you need to do is to go and see a Dr. about it. it can be an infection in the mammary glands, or even Fibrocystic breast disease. so get yourself to a Dr....

Q. I am observing of a growth of a small firm lumps on my left breast. I need a help…I am taking birth control pills from some years and I am 24 years old. From some months I am observing of a growth of a small firm lumps on my left breast. Its color is light pink and is painless. Recently I got the information that birth control pills can cause breast cancer. Now this small growth on my breast is worrying me a lot. I think its breast cancer. I will meet the doctor soon. I just can’t let this go unchecked. What else I can do apart from meeting a doctor.

A. Hey, just relax. You must meet you doctor. Oral contraceptive though they can cause cancer breast, but not everyone is affected. Still this is not clear. But there are chances of noncancerous lumps which are similar to your conditions are suspected as cancer by many women’s. Once you meet your doctor you will be what they are.
