You've Found A Lump In Your Breast? Don't Panic!

It's natural upon feeling a lump in your breast to think, "Ahhhh. I have breast cancer!" Dr. Richardson suggests you try not to panic as there are several healthy explanations for breast lumps.

Before assuming the worst, take a deep breath, and call your doctor. Using ultrasound, they'll be able to thoroughly examine the breast tissue and make a proper diagnosis.

To prepare for your appointment, conduct a breast self-exam, noting how the lump feels and its location. You'll want to share with your doctor what you're experiencing.

Dr. Richardson's final word of advice? Stay away from the internet. The last thing you'll want to do is flood your brain with scary, negative thoughts.

You've got this!

I’m a man and having this issue I was relieved to see this video because I was kinda in panic mode only because it’s a month or more to get in to see the Dr. Plus my mother had breast cancer

The lump use to be a scratch from my pack of German shepherds. They had no idea they were puppies with puppy claws. It has been there a year. I tried to remove it but it stayed the same. I don’t want my breast removed. And life has been far from good as far as never feeling any more then subhuman. It is painful the emotional aspects of it. It is ok I accept my fate.

Hey! So, when i touch/press my boobs i feel something in them that i think its that tissue or idk what that every boob has. But i can move them but they are hard idk how to explain.. its just a huge thing in both of my boobs but like only in the middel of them and its the same for both. I don't know how to make a difference between the normal thing in your breast and cancerous nodules. I would tell my mom bc she had multiple lumps at her breast and she only told me this Thursday that she had that for 2 years or more. She went to a doctor 2 year ago and i didn't eve know. She did an ultrasound but i didn't ask her if it was cancerous (bc we were going to a store a we just arrived)she never said its cancer so i think they were un cancerou noduls but she told me to tell her if i feel nodules at my boobs or arm pit (i have nothing at my arm pit) but isk how to make a difference between the tissue and cancerous nodules. And im embarrassed to tell my mum!
