Anyway, 3 wks ago I happened to be doing a breast exam in bed & came across a hard lump in my breast that is toward the tip. Maybe the size of a pair of dice.

I wasn't much concerned. Nothing runs in my family. I had a mammogram 5 yrs ago, but yes I did just call to make an appt for another although it's 2 months away.

When I googled lumps in breasts it gave me many explanations of other things it could be. So again I'm pretty much not bothered about it.....but should I be?
I don't want too scare you, but it doesn't run in my family either but my mom now has cancer. The Dr feels very confident that she can get rid of it though. There is always a chance that it's nothing to worry about since other things can cause lumps, but please don't ignore it. I wish you the best! Please take care of yourself!
