If one of the lumps in the breast breaks, and it bruises the whole breast could that be cancerous

Muncy61

My sister in law will not go to the doctor because of religious beliefs. She has quite a few large lumps in her breast. Her nipple area is also discolored to a light color and they have been there since Christmas of last year. Her grandson kicked one of the lumps by accident and it caused her breast to bruise very badly from the top or her shoulder to the bottom of her breast. She was in bed for 2 weeks because of this. Could this be a sign of breast cancer. We would like to figure out whether it would have a chance to be cancer.

 

Thank You

Muncy, we can't diagnose on this site, but there's ALWAYS a chance that a lump in the breast can be breast cancer. You're in a tough situation, with her refusing medical help. If there's any way at all to persuade her to get checked out, I'd try my best; if not, well, then I guess her prayers are what she relies on. - Best wishes- PJH
