TechResQ Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yesterday morning I felt a lump in my left breast. Called the Dr. today and he is seeing me tomorrow. I am a little scared to say the least... Anyone ever felt a lump and it turned out to be nothing? Link to comment
Catdancer Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yes. It could just be a fatty tumor. Dont panic yet!! Link to comment

Catdancer Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks. I'm trying not to panic. I keep thinking very positive thoughts. Good. Just think positive things. I know you're going to stay freaked out until you see your doc, I would too. So, just do something to occupy your mind and fill the time between now and tomorrow. Try to keep busy and pre-occupied.

HouseKitten Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Stay cool I had to have an ultrasound a few years back because I had a cluster of small lumps in one breast. They turned out to be minor cysts, and they eventually went away by themselves. It's good that you've gone to a doctor and not just kept it to yourself in a panic. Just remember there are several harmless things it could be instead of anything serious Link to comment
TechResQ Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks for your posts, you all. I know I shouldn't think about what it may be, and just wait until I see what the Dr. says. It's hard not to let my mind go to the "C" word. JEEZ! It's just that nowadays you hear about it so much! Like I said, I am thinking positive until I am proven otherwise. Link to comment
metrogirl Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I had a small one, turned out to be fatty tissue. Do you have a history of breast cancer in the family? Link to comment
Binoo Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 It could be so many different things. At any rate, you've found it and now you can have it taken care of properly. I'm sure everything will be fine. Good luck at your appointment x Link to comment
TechResQ Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 I had a small one, turned out to be fatty tissue. Do you have a history of breast cancer in the family? My mom had a lumpectomy several years ago, it turned out to be benign, which is why I am staying positive. I just had a mammogram in December '08, so I think it would be unusual for something bad to just appear in 5 months, right? Link to comment
Portage Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I had minor cysts also..i woke up one morning, showered, and dropped the soap when i found my lump. All was fine after my ultrasound. My lump disappeared after a few days. Link to comment

Smoothie58 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I found a lump in my breast 2 years ago. Was too scared to do anything about it and I kept it to myself for two years. Two months ago I found a different one, and I decided it was time to go to the doctor. They both were cysts and nothing to worry about. You'll be fine!!! good luck Link to comment
GoneCrazy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 your young and healthy right ? if so i thought it could be cancer i wouldnt get all to worked up if i was you. Goodluck wish you the best. Link to comment
