Melissa,
any woman who finds a lump in her breast
should go to the dr immediately (if not
sooner!!

) it may be &
probably is nothing, but if it is
something the sooner it is dealt with the
less likely it is that you'll suffer any
long term affects, other than maybe a tiny
scar.
Some drs also tend to put women off about
lumps & say well let's wait & see
etc etc, do not allow that - that is how
women end up dying of cancerm because drs
didn't listen to them in the first place.
But remember there are many different
types of lumps so do not panic.
