    OC, I am so sorry to hear this. Please get it checked out asap! *If* it is breast cancer, you have a great chance of beating it. Please let us know if you need help finding a place to get a free mammogram!! Or if you just need to talk. Hugs

    I found 2 lumps that turned out to be nothing, better to worry for nothing then not know.

    @thefinder, my mom gets lumps all the time. She has had 4 removed because they were pre-cancerous. The others have been nothing & come & go with her cycle. But not knowing is the worst!

    I also found a lump in my breast when I was a teenager. They couldn't aspirate it and were worried because my great grandmother died of cancer. I had it taken out just to be safe. Try not to panic until you know for sure it's nothing. Everything will be alright. We're here if you need us.  >:D<

    And I say I don't know you
    But you say it's finished"

    Same here, many times it's absolutely nothing, but the earlier it's checked the better!

    Both my Grandmas and a few Aunts had breast Cancer, it scares the crap outta me. I've never found a lump before and I check offten, even the smallest lump should be checked out its better to be safe then sorry. The earlier it's caught the better chance of beating the cancer you have, hopefully it's just a lump. Go get it checked out OC were all here for you!!

    I once had a lump and it was a blocked milk duct.  I hope all will be well, try not to jump to conclusions before you have answers.

    Go get it checked. Chances are its nothing... but this is a better safe than sorry situation. I get my mamos... and always end up with ultrasounds and have had a couple of biopsies. But there's never anything wrong. Love hugs and prayers. Please... I hope you come and update us.
