Nipple Disch after 3rd EC - Usual?
My wife, had a mastectomy with 15 lymph nodes removed, 9 affected. There was invasive duct growth, Grade 2/3 HER -ve. She is 62yo, and is in generally good health apart from the BC. HRT for 5 years until lump discovered. Children were all breast-fed.
EC Chemo started in July, and the 3rd session this week. She is taking Dexamethosone for the usual 3 days after the chemo infusion day, plus all the usual anti‐nausea meds etc. She has 4 stages of Paclitaxol to look forward to, then RT.
Noted a white-ish discharge from remaining nipple last night, and not sure what to think. I am thinking that it may be down to the meds, or fluid retention which seems to happen for a week due to chemo.
Has anyone had or know of similar Chemo-related side effects? I am just trying to stop any unnecessary instinctive panics here.
