Dear confused - IN GENERAL, a clear discharge from you nipple doesn't denote cancer. Not sure what all the medicalese means, but if I were you I'd ask your doctor to explain. Don't let them brush you off or talk down to you - just keep at them till they tell you 1) what your report means in plain English, and 2) what you need to do about it (if anything). -PJH
