My wife just undergone kuretase two weeks ago & after it her breast start to producing milk if pressed hard enough so our doctor gave her parlodel (ussualy used for parkinson syndrome but the side effect can stop milk produce). Suddenly this morning she told me that she feel breast lump in her upper right breast near the arm pit. Should we worried about this? is this a cancer? as for me i thought that because her hormone. is there anyone experiencing the same syndrom?
thx
Hi - I'm sorry, I can't seem to figure out what kuretase is. I guess I'd tell you that breast lumps should always be checked out. Perhaps your wife could go to the doctor who's currently treating her, as he might be able to tell you if a side effect of her treatment might be swelling in the breast. Best of luck to you- PJH
I hope your wife does not continue the drug "parlodel". My perfectly healthy 21 yr. old daughter-in-law died in 1992 after having a planned "c" section and the Dr. gave her that drug to dry up breast milk, (which it did not do) After her death, my son won the law suit and Physicians are no longer supposed to prescribe the drug "parlodel" for drying up breast milk. We later learned there had been 16 deaths of young mothers using that drug.
