painful lump in my breast
ellekay06-16-2003, 12:41 AMi'm 23 yrs old and jst recently have had a pain in my left breast. Naturally i did what any woman would do and felt for lumps, to my surprise i found something that resembled a lump and it hurts.
Now could this be cancer or just a cyst?
I will go docter but i am a little scared.
Can anyone relate to this?DawnP06-16-2003, 06:52 AMPLease go to the doctor for sure but I would bet that it is fibrosystic. Usually, breast cancer lumps are not painful. Fibrocystic Breasts can be quite painful. You are also young which helps your odds against Breast Cancer. Go get it checked out for your peace of mind and just to be sure!
