Hair loss is NOT a symptom of breast cancer, it is sometimes a side effect of chemotherapy used to treat cancer.
If you have had a ball like mass inside your breast for 3 years, it is not cancer. It would have grown substantially in that time. If you want to know what it is, then see a Dr, you have not provided enough information for even an educated guess. |

Hair loss is not a symptom of breast cancer.
Hair loss may occur with the treatment of breast cancer such as chemo. This ball in your breast why have you let it go for three years I think if this was cancer.this ball would have grown substantially over a period of three years. Go see your doctor if ball is suspicious they will send you for a mammogram. I had breast cancer for two years without my knowledge & it wasn't too late for me. |

never to late love, if you have had this problem for such a long time my guess is its something else although i am not a doctor, you need to see your doctor and I'm sure they would put you at ease you make need a cyst removed, if you are young is this something you noticed 3 years ago that you have always had, you need to see your doctor it is so important, best wishes xx

I really don't think you have breast cancer because 3 years is a long time to have a "ball" inside your breast with no obvious changes etc. Having said that, i still think you should go to your doctor & find out exactly what it is cos anything unusual in our bodies deserves to be checked out.
Hair loss is not a symptom but is caused by the treatment. Chemotherapy would most likely be the cause of hair loss with breast cancer. Good luck :-) |
