The skin on the right chest is itchy, thought to be eczema
According to domestic media reports, the woman surnamed Weng usually has a strong body and rarely suffers from illness. She is usually introverted and often refused to go out before March. After questioning by her family, they learned that the skin on her right chest was locally itchy and red and swollen.

Unexpectedly, the redness and swelling did not subside, but worsened day by day.
Two months later, Weng Nu woke up and found a large amount of exudation in the affected area. She was frightened and immediately went to the hospital with her family to seek medical treatment. After consultation, Dr. Cai Dingjun, deputy director of the Breast Surgery Department of Yuyao Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, discovered that she had 4cm and 5cm tumors on both breasts respectively. After ultrasound and breast magnetic resonance (MRI Breast) examination, she suspected that they were malignant tumors, so she removed part of them. The tissue was tested and finally diagnosed as Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC).

The word cancer sounds scary.” Her family was also surprised, and finally decided to have her chest removed following discussion to prevent the condition from getting worse. . Fortunately, Weng Nu recovered well following the operation and has now undergone the first chemotherapy. Subsequent radiotherapy and endocrine therapy will still be required.

Women also secrete estrogen following menopause. In addition, there are different types of breast cancer, such as those related to estrogen. Unrelated triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), etc. Therefore, age is only one of the various influencing factors of breast cancer and cannot be generalized.
