I’m a male, what does non fluid filled mean? Is that bad

Found a lump right above right nipple (12 o clock position) some months ago and just now got an Ultrasound Wednesday. Doc said that it came back as a 1.1cm nodule that was not fluid filled and something about tissue. Now I’m scheduled for a needle core biopsy this upcoming Thursday.

The lump is a little movable ball, no pain unless I really mess with it, no discharge or scaling etc. I also have high blood pressure. This weekend has sucked and I’m so worried I may have the big C. I’m a 31 year old male, I’ve been trying not to google or get on anyone’s nerves. No history of BC in my family but my mom and aunt both said that they had to have biopsies done years ago which were benign. The whole thought of them needing to give me one is so nerve wrecking especially as a man cause google always comes back to the worse case scenario and with it being so close to the nipple I’m even more freaked out

    Hellothere901, it really helps folks here to respond to you thoughtfully and in context to the entirety of what is going onwhen you ask additional questions in your original thread instead of starting new ones. They get the entire picture without having to find your old threads and you don’t have to repeat yourself. Additionally, when you find out results you won’t have to remember to update multiple threads.

    It’s ok, Hellothere901. Not fluid-filled means it is not obviously a fluid-filled cyst, but that does not mean that it is cancer, as there are other things it could be. (Disclaimer: This is my understanding — I’m not a doctor.)

    (Melissa’s suggestion is a helpful one. Have you marked you original thread as a favorite so you can find it easily?)

    I just responded to your original thread. Good idea to stay in one place. Hang in there & check out TravelText's MALE BC link.
