porcha

hi im new to this place, found it on the internet while i was browsing.

Dont know why but i just feel like im going to burst unless i tell someone...anyone about this,
the other day i found a lump in my breast, its under my nipple, and can be sore. Its also rather red round about it.
Its scaring the out of me, and im going to see the doctors on thursday but i guess i just needed some support to get me through this

Good thing you are going to get it checked. From what I understand based on a conversation with a doc a few yrs ago, breast lumps are usually not visible, which is wny you have to feel for them. A neighbor of mine just found a lump and got checked, it turned out to a lump of fatty tissue from having had a bruise a few months ago. Chances are you'll be fine but it's always best to be sure.

Hi Porcha,
Just saw your concern. I can completely understand the stress as I also
have a lump (initially I thought). Now my doctor told me there are three. Am going for biopsy today.

Whatever outcome, do drop a note. Hopefully, I can lend you a little bit of support.

Take care.

I was in your shoes. I found a lump in my right breast and went to my gyn and he referred me to another doctor who specializes in the breast. I found out it was a tumor and not a cyst. I just had surgery on Friday to have the tumor removed. Thank God it was benign. I go back next week for a follow-up and to go into more details about it. Not sure how spirtual you are, but i just stayed in prayer no matter what. Heaven forbid it would have been cancerous i was not going to let it win. But please do not hesistate to see a doctor, that is what they are there for.

I had a lump in my breast about a year and a half ago. It felt about the size of a acorn. It was very sore to the touch as well. I had it removed and everything was fine. From what I've heard from my doctor is they are usually somewhat common and are fluid filled cyst.

Do you have the results already?
