Posted by Gail Wiggins on 2/20/2001 from 216.192.71.90:

In 1997 my right breast was diagnosed with breast cancer that breast had a dark green fluid called prolactin. It still has a small amount that can be expressed.

Now in 2001 my left breast becomes engorged with the same
dark green fluid. I have had it tested many times. My breast hurts so bad that I have to express it. My mammograms have come back clear each time. I am also on tamoxifen. I have been taking it for 3 years. Is this a
sign that I may get cancer in my other breast? I sometimes use a breast pump to pull it to my nipple to get it out.

The cancer in the right breast was stage 1 and not in my
lymph nodes. I had a lumpectomy in 1997. I also had radiation therapy for 6 weeks. Does anybody out there have this problem?
