i found a lump in my breast and i am very concerned. i am getting it scanned this week and i am nervous. i know it is unlikey for people to get cancer this young. but even if it isnt cancer i need to get whatever it is removed and i am scared. i feel helpless and it isnt a good feeling =[ i was wondering howcommon this is and if any of you have had any experiences with cysts or anything like that? i am scared
My aunt had a worrying lump, it turned out to be only a thickening. Your doing the best thing, don't panic!!!
thank you yeah im just like trying not to obsess over it but i have nobody to talk to and its hard!! ahh so what happened to your aunt did she have to get it removed?
I hope all works out well for you. Remember one thing though. Your health care people cought it. You are young enough to fight it and come back.
There are several things that can cause lumps in the breast tissue. If you drink too much caffeine you can develop lumps. If your breasts are larger sometime there are "tissue buildups" to help support the weight of them. Could be hormonal changes or a clogged milk duct. Sometimes women develop fatty lumps when taking the pill. Numerous things that are more likely than breast cancer at a young age. You did the right thing by getting it checked.

whatever it is, you must check it out i have had three fine needle biospy the doc sticks a needle in and gets any fliud then has it checked waiting a few days for results is maddening alot of woman have lumpy breasts from hormones, not having kids, having kids after 35, genetics,cysts, fatty tissue, i had my last boob biospy not too long ago my doc said 9/10 lumps are explained by other stuff, not cancer and yes, some cases it will be cancer it can never be ruled out, which is why all lumps need to be checked out i really hope it all checks out and everything is all ok
so he said it was a fibrous growth and it would need to be removed. i am getting like an MRI to see if its begnin and he said that either way im gonna have to get it removed which is going to leave me with like half a breast =[
My mom once found a lump on her breasts but it wasnt anything serious like cancer but just to be safe her doctor told her to come at least 2 or 3 times a year for checkups. She got it removed a few years ago and it wasnt that bad. I hope everything ends up being okay for you.
when I was 22 they found some lumps in my breasts I freaked out had them get checked, they were just cysts.. it might not be anything but it's good you are checking..
i am sorry you have to have the lump removed fingers crossed the lump is benign i hope your not feeling too freaked out, the waiting around cannot be much fun hang in there
thanks everyone for the words of support <3 i am really freaking out.. i cant stand waiting for all these test results. i feel very helpless
