Q: Dried blood dark brown from nipples mostly left side. Very sore, swollen. Ducts swollen sides swollen. Hot sensation. no bacterial infection. No lactating disorder. Waiting on cancer results. Worried.

Could this just be hormonal? I am 45 Years old. Started Heather mini pill to help with painful periods. Stopped taking it last Friday when my left breast hurt so bad and was squeezing out blood. My Dr. told me her experience with my symptoms was her patience have had cancer. She said the only thing that doesnt make sense to her is both breasts. which I thought was just left side until I went into her office gave sample and was able to get blood from right breast too. I dont like the heavy achy painful feeling of the breasts. My veins are showing very badly on breasts and they are a little pinkish in color with a slight somewhat rash, but nothing major. Every often I get that major sensation that there is a baby that I am breast feeding. Same sensation with my 3 children. 26, 20, and 11 years of age. I breast fed them all with no problems produced plenty of milk etc. Any other possibilities this could be other then cancer? Thanks Julie
