Hi everyone,

I had a small spot on my breast a month ago, almost like a pimple deep under my skin. I currently do not have insurance until Jan 1st, so I let it be- not concerned about it at all. It sure enough started to shrink and a couple weeks ago I was checking up on it in the shower and found something else. A large lump more so in the middle of my breast, the size of a ping pong ball or so. I hate to admit that i do not perform regular self-exams (I am 28, and didn't think it was necessary yet), so I have no idea how long this lump has been there. It is hard and slightly movable. I know that i need to get this checked out, however I do not have insurance until January. Any advice on where to go from here? Can I wait until January? Can Planned Parenthood help me? Any advice would be very much appreciated! The worry has been consuming me!
