Is lump in breast cancer? Posted: 04-02-08 21:11pm


hii...i really need help on something that has been bugging me for years when i was about 13...i found a lump on my left breast that it quite large if you feel it. I am currently 17 years old and it is still there. when i gently touch my breast..i can feel it on the surface...and it is quite lumpy underneath my skin near my nipple i havent told anyone for years but i really dont know what to do...could it be cancer or am i too young?? could it be just large milk glands or something? i havent been recieving any side affect...the bump isnt painful or anything ..but im jsut worried about what it could be... has anyone got any advice because im am quite worried about it??? thanks x

A lot of people have lumpier breast tissue. However, its always better safe than sorry when it comes to lumps, because just in case if it is something bad, the earlier its caught the better. Do you have an obgyn yet? If not, you should look into getting one and having a breast exam just to be safe. Also, your doctor will inform you on how to regularly check your breasts for lumps and growth and exactly what way you should so you will be better informed on what to look for in your body in the future
