My big respect to the Doctors around the world.

I can’t even believe I am saying this but I found a lump in my breast this week. I’ve already seen my PA and they are sending me for an ultrasound asap. If there is anyone out here going through the same please let me know so we can pray for one another.

"DO THIS!!!"
Dry fast 2 days a week, change your diet. No diary, sugar, packaged foods, wheat products. Drink at least 4 litres of alkalizing water a day and exercise minimum 30 mins a day. Make sure when excercising you sweat. You want to make it drip not hot flashes. If you do the above for 90 days you'll see changes. I'm not bull talking you. Love always

As a nurse, I one day had to lift a heavy woman without anyones help. As I got her out of her chair and onto the bed, I heard a ripping sound and a pop! The next day I had alot of pain and the doctor only gave me tranquilizers, but I had to continue to work. A lump started un der my arm and eventually got to my left breast. Now 9 years after, even if I go to the doctor they talk about removing my breast, even when I tell them of my experience. My left arm cant extend as high as my right. But I will not be used as a guinea pig just to operate anybold way. I went to a naturest and he has cured many people of cancer by diet. Hes a Doctor and he said that I have no cancer.Thank God. It was a broken tendon. Years ago Spain had great doctors but with a socialest gov. now in, many doctors have no experience. Sad.

I'm a fairly young woman (27 almost 28) and a lump was found in one of my breasts. It's probably benign but I'm going to get an ultrasound on it next week to make sure. Thanks for the video!

I have a fibroedenoma almost 9 years ago in my left breast which have been removed.... Then again a fibroedenoma removed from my right breast a year ago.... Now I m 29 years old and I have a 3 years baby from c-sec.... I m again feeling a little lump on the side of my right breast.... Is there possibility that it is fibroedenoma again?

[albarama]

I have galactocel.
I'm breastfeeding my baby, and I have a galactocel (that's what my doctor said) at about 8mm.
She said is nothing to worry about, and if it does not increase there is no risk, and after breastfeeding it will go on its on.
Is that correct?
How can I treat on my one?

I'm trying to be calm, but have moments of raw fear. I am 67. Christmas night I noticed a LARGE (1 inch long, .5 inch wide) lump on the left side of my breast under the tissue. It feels like it's on the rib. I do regular shower checkups, but had never felt this because it was hiding UNDER the fatty breast tissue. I only felt it because I was laying on my side and my breast fell, and I ran my hand up my side and there the danged thing was. It feels BIG to me. About the size and shape of a 22 shell bullet. The gal doing the ultrasound called in the Radiologist and he prescribed a biopsy. But how long until they do it? How long is it safe to wait??? I saw it on the ultrasound, and I've scoured the internet looking at photos and it LOOKS like a cyst, but FEELs hard. It is possible to move it slightly. Now I'm freaking out because I want this out! I had the mammogram and ultrasound in California but have Oregon Health Plan and they wouldn't pay for treatment there. So I've had my records sent up to OHSU in Portland, Oregon. But now, every day is another day this is inside me, and I'm freaking out because it feels like things are moving slow, though in reality it's only been a few days. How long should you wait between the ultrasound and the biopsy? My left arm constantly goes to sleep and this thing aches. Should I see a different doctor? Can anyone who has been through this offer any support? I'm on this weird edge between being calm and freaking out.

Insist on a biopsy if you find a lump. Do not let the doctor placate you. Breast cancer does occur in young women. Play it safe. Catch it early. Late stage breast cancer is much harder to treat. Biopsies are quick and relatively painless. Don’t wait.
