6 weeks until my check up

32YearsYoung

I'm 32 I have a tiny tiny tiny lump

It's so tiny I am shocked i noticed it. It's about the size like a bit bigger than color crown tip. It's also not a ball but a hill.

In my armpit I have a spot that feels tender the tender bit doesn't feel like a lump, it's like a bruised feeling. I honestly don't think it's related as I was deep cleaning house yesterday for family to come over for the holidays.

I have a check up in about 2 months. The thing is I almost feel silly mentioning such a small thing especially since it's not round or anything it's just a bump in my breast.

After peekingaround Doctor Google, all I can add is the tiny hill is I guess at 11o clock on my right breast, just on the edge of my areola.

You mention a "check up" in 2 months. Is that with a primary care, an OBGYN, an appointment that was already scheduled or to have the lump/tender areas evaluated? If the latter is it possible to call to see if you can get in sooner? I know you are concerned. Please keep in mind this may also be a benign area.

Imo, you should book an appt to see your pcp right now.

I can't process your other comment.m lol. We're in lockdown and can only see people who live with us. Are you in an area with no covid?

livinlife.it's an appointment with a surgeon for a cyst that was removed on my other breast to see how it's doing. He likes to follow up a few months later he said to see how things are going. I had my darling feel the area while laying down, before I pointed out the area he said something along the lines of “that's a pimple" confused I sat back up but the lumps was no longer visible. He too could feel the bump only when I laid down. I guess it's visible laying down as well. Any chance normal breast tissue can cause a visible bump?

Moth. Here the rule is no larger of a gathering than 10 but we are just having my parents come eat dinner with us so much smaller than 10.

I feel like it has gotten a little bigger. Like standing up more not wider. It also feels like sand near my armpit and I don't recall it feeling that way. I can't push forward my appointment because surgeon is on leave. Also I don't mess with it much so I might of just forgot what everything felt like

I'd encourage you to call your primary care or another doc about being seen, whether in-person or via telehealth, soon. They could always order imaging, if they believe that is warranted or an in-persona exam. Either way that could help your surgeon when you meet some weeks from now - more information to talk about....

Question, trying to figure out how to ask to make sense. Would a cancer lump only feel like a shape round, almond, star, triangle etcor could it feel like a hill on the breast tissue. I just keep debating on if it's breast tissue and feel like that's what I would be told and with Covid being high I'm not wanting to go out.

There's really no way to say definitely what cancer would or would not feel like. You need to call your PCP or your GYN and tell them what's up. They may tell you to come in or to wait, but it's not worth the chance of not calling. Of course none of us want to go out, but most doctor's offices are safer than the grocery store.
