    Default Who's had a lump?

    I didn't really want to post this and I'm just trying not to think about it. I had my annual gyn appt today and there's a little lump in my right boob, over by the underarm. I have to go have an ultrasound-not sure when, because I have to wait for the insurance peoples to sort things out (don't ask-complicated)-but soon. So who's had this happen? Please tell me good stories.

    Okay, back to not thinking about it.

    My cousin found a small lump under her breast and needed an ultrasound as well. The docs said it was a benign cyst and no surgey was required. She's all good now.

    *hugs* I hope all is well.

    I found a lump when I was 19. It was about the size of a pea, maybe a bit bigger. It felt hard and I could move it around. I had an ultrasound (not a mammogram) and the doctor said it looked like fibroadenoma (sp), a benign type of lump. They said I could either have it biopsied every year to check if it became malignant, or they could take it out. Guess which one I chose. They took it out and although I have a scar, I feel so much better knowing it's gone. Breast cancer runs in my family so I was freaked out to say the least. Just stay calm, because worrying definitely won't help anything!

    I found a bump when I was 19 or 20 and it lasted about a month. It turned out ot be nothing. I think it's fairly common. It's good you are getting it checked though.

    I have a marble-sized lump in my right breast. I noticed it about a year ago, and had it ultrasounded -- they said they weren't sure what it was, but it was probably that fibro thing. I went back 6 months later and they did it again, with the same results. Gonna go back every 6 months until they figure it out, I guess. They said I don't have to worry about it; it's most likely benign.

    For now, it just sits there, not changing at all, having fun being a marble in my breast.. oh well..

    Sounds like its totally benign, but now I really want to shoot marbles across your boobs!

    For some reason I have to get an ultrasound AND a mammogram. Thus wiping out pretty much ALL my insurance coverage for the year.

    If you have a lump, are over 30, and/or have a history of breast cancer in the family, the docs will usually do both tests to stay on the safe side. If you're under 30 and don't have a history of cancer in the family, I don't know what the deal is. Regardless, it's wise to follow your doctor's instructions and try not to worry. You've got a lot of people thinking about you and your health. Let us know how it goes, and I wish you well.

    I had a lump in my right breast near the nipple earlier this year. I had an ultrasound and a mammo done and the Dr. concluded that it was just an infection of the Montgomery Gland near the nipple, possibly caused by my piercing. She prescribed some antibiotics (which I never filled) and eventually it went away. My lump was painful and all of the Dr.s that I spoke to said that was a good thing because that meant it wasn't a tumor. Good luck!

    I found a lump and it was really sore, i ignored it for two months then finally went to the docs. I thought maybe it had something to do with my implant but it ended up being nothing.
    My sister just recently had the same problem, she went for the ultrasound and it ended up being nothing for her too. Some people just get lumpy, sore boobs.
    Don't worry sexy, you'll be fine

    I had one removed when I was 19 or 20; it was scary but really not big deal. It's not uncommon and it's frequently just a cyst or something, especially for younger women. Don't freak out; you're going to be fine.

    I have had the same small cyst in my left breast since I was in my mid-twenties. I have had it biopsied twice and forced my docs to start giving me mamagrams when I was 28 because to the breast cancer rate on my mom's side of the family.

    It is just what is referred to as having fiber cystic breasts. Cutting out caffiene helps with this.

    Good luck!

    Spent 3 hours yesterday being squished and xrayed. And it was inconclusive. It's not a cyst apparently. But the doc says it could be a lymph node. I wish they could tell! So I have to either wait, or be biopsied, depending on what my doc says. Argh. In good news, I feel better, body-wise.
