"Breast cancer isn't common in women under 40. A woman's risk of breast cancer throughout her 30s is just 1 in 227 , or about 0.4 percent."

@Jenni855 There's a shoebox with 227 toothpicks, 226 of which are white, and one is black.

@helenS I'm sorry, I do not understand. Do you mean it's a tiny possibility?

@Jenni855 Close to zero. But your friend needs to see a doctor now.

Did she visit a doctor??
Jenni855 · 36-40, F
@helenS Yes and they said as it seems to come from one duct and is spontaneous, she needs to be referred. She broke down as I did when she told me. It does seem like it can only be cancer 😢

@Jenni855 Can still be a thousand things, apart from cancer.
Next step: histologic examination of the tissue.
Don't panick now.
