What Causes Swollen, Painful And Leaking Breast In A Cancer Patient?

A 30 year old friend ask me to look something up for her. She has a history of multiple cancers (cervical, stomach atleast and a tumor on her pituitary gland), ocd, adhd, and narcolepsy and is currently cancer free and weighs around 110 give or take and is around 5' 7". A few days ago she woke up and her right breast is swollen, painful, and leaking even though she isn't pregnant.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have some acute inflammatory lesion like mastitis or abscess formation or she may have some proliferative breast lesion. She should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy and mammography according to need. Then she should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
