They found a lump on my right breast, could it be cancer


They found a lump on my right breast, could it be cancer?
I am 25, i went to the doctor because I had a cold and she did a full physical and found a lump on my right breast and wants it ultra sound she didnt want a mammogram because i am too young to automatically consider it to be cancer but wants to check it out. It feels like a pebble pea size. My ultra sound is not til the 20th and I am super anxious and worried my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer at 32 also very young. I just wanted to hear thoughts and opinions i know only my doctor can tell me the diagnosis but it doesnt hurt to talk about it.

F irst, don't worry. Most women have a lump that flares up hormonally around their menstrual cycle. I have one that flares up during my PMS time. Just keep an eye on it and check it annually. Tell yoru doctor about your family's breast cancer history.

Scary. When I was 24 I had a lump during my pregnancy with our son. It went away (hormonal) but an ultra sound is a good way to see - I had my first mammogram today ever the first thing she said was there is a good chance I'd be back for further films to get a better study of my breasts - so it's so worry-some (fear of the unknown) Being you have a family history it's good you went to the MD your cold may be a good thing after all - Hang in there until the 20th - and think +++ thoughts
