Q: Breast Cancer???

Hi everyone. Last night I was "checking" my breasts and I found a lump, but only if I press down kind of hard on my breast. It doesn't hurt and I can't feel it just by touching it. I almost have to find it! Well anyway it really freaked me out so I made a doctor's appointment for december 8th. But like I said it doesn't hurt. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I am only 22 years old, I have not started my period for this month and there is a strong possibility that I could be pregnant. Any ideas?? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
jenn :d

Breast Cancer??
Did you go to the doctor? What did they say? I never felt my lump at all, but a mamogram and following sonogram found three. I had a double mastectomy at 40, my entire left breast was consumed with cancer and benign ones were in my right. So, if I didn't feel anything, ever and it was that bad, feel lucky that you felt something and have time to get to the doctor. Please take this seriously, be aggressive with your thinking and be in charge of it, don't let cancer be in charge! Maybe it is just a cyst, or a benign lump. If you are pregnant you need to be mentally at 100 percent to take care of yourself and the baby, get the cancer worries out of your mind immediately. Please let us all know what you found out. You don't have to go through this alone!
