Are there symptoms to breast cancer that are not breast related


Are there symptoms to breast cancer that are not breast related?
Many other cancers have symptoms like nausea, pain, tiredness, bleeding, headaches, etc. Are there symptoms that are common but non-breast related to breast cancer?

Your lymph nodes (under your arms) can become enlarged and tender. Back pain can be associated with advanced breast cancer -- it usually indicates an advanced cancer that has metastasized. Don't listen to the guy who wants photos of your breasts.

Under my arm hurt because the lymph nodes were swelling up and had been infected. I dont know of any other symptoms that would have alerted me except the breast area.

The best thing to do is get a thermography. Thermal imaging is over 95% accurate in the early detection of breast cancer. There is no compression and no harmful radiation. It is also 10 years earlier detection than mammography! Thermography is designed to show the pre-cancerous changes in the breast tissue before a tumor ever develops. It is absolutely unprecedented in the early detection of breast cancer. Check out: www.thermographyfirst.com for more info on it.

The symptoms of possible breast cancer are change in size - one breast may have become noticeably larger or lower nipple change - if it becomes inverted (pulled in) or changes its position or shape rash - on or around the nipple discharge - from one or both nipples puckering or dimpling - around nipple swelling รข€“ in your armpit or around your collarbone (from lymph nodes) lump or thickening - that feels different from the rest of the breast tissue All symptoms are breast or underarm related unless the cancer has spread to other parts of the body - typically the brain, liver, bones or lungs - in which case there may well be other symptoms. But most cases of breast cancer are diagnosed before this has had a chance to happen. Nausea, tiredness etc are not breast cancer symptoms. Most people diagnosed with breast cancer have felt no pain, but some do - I did.

I had no symptoms at all. My cancer was discovered on my baseline mammogram. It was a large tumor and had spread to 5 of my lymph nodes. The symptoms mentioned below (nipple puckering, etc) are usually found in advanced disease. You should have your symptoms checked out though. You didn't say where you are bleeding from but it sounds like something you should look into
