I understand your concerns over finding a lump. There is no way to be able to determine precisely what is going on without a proper examination by a doctor. As 80% of all breast lumps are benign, the odds are definitely in your favor. Also, your age makes it unlikely that it is breast cancer, though it is possible to have breast cancer at a young age. There are a number of situations that might be causing a lump. There are many benign breast conditions including: infection, cysts or a fibroadenoma. However, I feel it is always best to check it out. You are wise to have a physician check it out and if none of the previous tests show anything, it is probably a good idea to have a biopsy just to make sure.

If you would like, I can send you specific information about breast changes, breast self-exams and breast cancer, free of charge. I would also be glad to speak with you directly. You may email me with your telephone number or call me toll free at 1-866-294-6222. I have added a link below that will be helpful in your understanding the changes that take place in a woman's breasts.
