New Lump Found While Waiting
Posted: 03-06-07 15:20pm

A few years ago I had a lump removed from my right breast. Everything turned out fine. I'm not very good with medical language, so I don't recall what the dr. called her findings.

Now I've found another lump in the same spot. The dr. told me wait three months, if it's still there, she'd like to remove it because the lump she removed the last time was the type that has a higher probability of becoming cancer.

I'm about a month away from her 3-month deadline, and I've found a new lump between my breast and armpit. The first day I felt it, it was a bit painful, now two days later, it's no longer painful but it seems to have grown a friend...two little lumps right next to each other.

I called the dr. and she wants me to come in on Thursday, but I must admit I'm getting a little frighted. Other than a little fatigue (I have 6 kids...Tired is my middle name!!), I'm healthy and have never had swollen glands or cysts, so this just isn't like me.

Advice???

The lumps in our breast are sometimes fat...It hurts when we touch it, especially in the time of our monthly period..If you are really worried of frightened about the lumps that you feel inside you breast, never hesitate to go to a doctor. The early the check up, the more possibility for you to be cure...If its really a cyst..

But what if it is not what you think it is. Isn't that all your worries will come off? Don't worry, you can do it!
