I'm 38 and have 3 children. I noticed a small pea sized lump on my left breast on Thursday. I have dense breasts and I know that my lumps are different that way. But this lump is different in itself, hard and don't move nor does it hurt. It's just there. I knew right away something wasn't right...... I made an appointment the next day with my GYNO but I had to see another GYNO instead because mine is one maternity leave. Anyhow, he walks into the room to see me and looked at me like I was worrying for nothing especially when I told him I have dense breasts. But as soon as he felt it his face changed and he pushed and kinda squeezed at it for about a 45 seconds then looked at me and asked How I found it and then looked at the nurse and told her to order a Diagnostic Mammogram and Ultrasound right away. He then stands back and tells me " Hopefully it's not like it feels and Hopefully it's Benign."

I dont know what he meant by that...... can a doctor tell that a lump might be cancerous?

My Diagnostic Mammogram and Ultrasound are this coming Monday. They got me in right away.

I'm scared. Things seem to go wrong with my body and I'm afraid that maybe I'm about to be diagnosed with Breast Cancer. It does not run in my family. But I have have multiple Xrays and CT scans done on my body in the last 8 years.... like I said, things seem to go wrong with my body.

    Hi autismbutterfly, and welcome.

    We're so sorry you're here and worrying, and that your doctor gave you such cause to further your concerns. The only way to determine whether this lump is cancerous is with a biopsy, so don't freak out just yet. We know it's hard not to worry, but it's good they are getting you in on Monday for a closer look.

    Please keep us posted with what you find out, and we'll be sending our best thoughts!

    Hi autismbutterfly! I am sorry you are going through this as I am going through something similar. Ian turning 38 here in a couple weeks and always had dense breast tissue. In February I had regular ultrasound that showed a cyst in my left breast. I repeated the ultrasound in May just to confirm it is a cyst and it still looked good, including everything else looked good too including the other breast. Well little over a month ago I was self examining my breasts and discovered a newly formed lump in my right breast in an outer lower quadrant. It felt like someone placed a pebble in my breast and not like a part of the surrounding tissue. I decided to leave it and monitor it for a couple of weeks to see if it will change and if it’s hormonally driven. Fast forward to my mammogram and ultrasound appointment two days ago which discovered a 6x3mm hypoechoic oval mass that is vascularized BIRADS 4 requiring biopsy scheduled for this coming Tuesday. I am beyond stressed out and scared of what it might be, imagining the worst. I have a three year old daughter
