Mari, nipple discharge isn't that uncommon; and rarely is it a sign of cancer. However, best to get it checked out by the doctor—and please stop squeezing your nipples, as this is probably encouraging the discharge! Might as well figure out what's going on and get it treated, right? Good luck - PJH
