Poll lump standing up

Sunshine1982 · October 2019

hello everyone

I have a question on when your lump was felt? And in which quadrant.

I have a small lump in the 5 or 6 o clock region. Standing up it is palpable and lying down not. I have an a cup so not much room to hide i would say. Especially in that region. Upper outer breast i can imagine that it is hard to feel lying down.

What are your experiences with lying down standing up and lump location?

Thanks you very much!!!

I can see and feel mine basically no matter the position. It is just under 2cm, pretty shallow/superficial, is at 11 o’clock, outer right, and I have nearly no breast tissue to speak of after nursing 4 babies. Nowhere for it to go really.

Have you seen a doctor yet?

in may this year they did an ultrasound on the lump lying down. But i am not sure if the lump when standig up is the same. It is in an area where they did an excisional biopsy so it probably is scar tissue. But i am worried if i do an ultrasound they won't see everything well because of the distortion of the biopsy.

US can distinguish between scar and tumor.

thank you for the reply. I don't know why but i have seemed to convince myself that after the excisional and distortion of tissue they cannot differentiate between scar tissue and a true malignant lump. But if you say they can then i should not worry about it anymore

maybe because if you look on the internet the pictures of a true malignant lump and scar tissue look so much alike

uhm to me but i am no radiologist obviously. I should trust the professionals because they can see the difference. I am such an idiot for doubting them ThumbsDown

i am so anxious because the scar tissue looks much alike a malignant lump. But last time i thought i saw a lump and the radiologist stated in the report that no mass was seen. So maybe i just need to forget about the pictures on the internet. I am not a radiologist so have zero knowledge.

Do you think that comparing pictures on the internet is a bit stupid? Because i have no knowledge. But the pictures of benign and malignant lumps sometimes really look alike.

"But the pictures of benign and malignant lumps sometimes really look alike."

Yes, they can.

Sunshine1982 · October 2019

but a trained radiologist would see the difference right??

A trained breast radiologist would be able to see the difference or at least know the next step to take in order to tell the difference.
