Found Lump in Breast

Have you tried hand-expressing or using a pump? That might or might not work, but it certainly is worth a shot.

I'm so sorry to hear about your family history of cancer. In this case, you may wish to schedule an appointment with either your ob-gyn or your primary doctor. Either one can do an exam and, if necessary, send you to a specialist.

It's awesome that you are well-aware of your 'breast health' and are able to give attention to this issue immediately. While this may not be a cancerous lump, it's worth getting checked out. Good for you for being so proactive with this - it can make a world of difference if there is a problem.

Go to your ob/gyne, It may be a clogged duct, or it could be something more. I don't mean to scare you, but you never know. I found a lump when I was just 25, turned out to be a cystic mass, but you just never know.

If you cannot express the milk by pumping and see if the lump goes away in a day or so, I would definitely see a doctor. Start with your family or gyne. A former neighbor's sil stopped nursing and freaked when she found 2 lumps. They turned out ot be calcium deposits. They were removed with lasers. Good luck.

Hi Sara,
I am sorry about all you have gone through. Since cancer does run in your family, I would have it checked out ASAP. If the Dr. does blow it off as a clogged milk duct, see a different Doc. Atleast, it will give you peace of mind, when you get a definate answer. Your family needs you, why put something like that off, and just assume. I pray everything is okay.
