Rosella_Gabriella 0 Posted April 1 Well I found my family! Hi health anxiety friends. I'm relieved to not feel alone. Since my 2 children came along I know I've changed. I have terrible anxiety about my health and that of my kids. Well new HA this month is breast C. I've had leaking boobs for 2 years, barely breastfed, but ok, the leaking is rare, but it's there. My Gyno found high prolactin levels and said oh, it could be a pituatory tumor... great, thanks sir. So, I'm waiting for an MRI of the pituatory gland in 5 days... this will be a long 5 days. Meanwhile, my mother had BC, so yeah, I'm 35 but he wanted me to get my first mamogram. I've had itching over my boobs, nipples and armpits. I didn't mention that to him because it's only been happening for a few days. I swear I've Google itching boobs and armpits and it tells me I'll probably die in 5 years. Ladies, help. I just cry, roll into my pillow and Google all day and night. The itching is weird right? I've even had a televisit to get an MRI order also, because I read: mamogram isn't always accurate or good enough, and you know, all I've done is think about the BC thing. Over the last 2 years since lockdown, I've had sinus issues, numerous CT scans and MRIs for sinus issues so here we go again with more scans. Hoping it's nothing. Trying not to Google until my scans are done and results are back. I'll be here itching my boobs if anyone is wondering! Thanks for the space to rant. My husband is over my bullshit worrying, but he's bringing me tea and still smiling at me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironman 153 Posted April 2 @Rosella_Gabriella I don't know if itching boobs means breast cancer. I would think there would be more to it. We can't assume anything on this kind of stuff until test results pick something up. No news is good news.

Thrufaith 9 Posted April 6 How are you feeling? Are the boobs still itching? I sometimes get itchy boobs too, but it is usually dry skin or the bra I am wearing causing it. try wearing cotton only bras and try putting on some oatmeal or cortisone lotion. My mom had a pituitary tumor and her symptoms were excessive thirst and using the bathroom non stop!!! her sodium levels were dropping and her bp was getting high she ended up needing emergency brain surgery to remove the tumor because it started leaking blood. It was definitely a scary time but the surgery was actually pretty easy and her surgeon performed the surgery through her nose. She recovered great and is doing amazing 6 years later! keep us posted on how are you feeling and doing! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rosella_Gabriella 0 Posted April 15 Thanks for replying. Well my mamogram was clear. The pituatory MRI was just done. I don't have any symptoms other than the breast leaks. I'm sorry about your mom that is very scary. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
