Sore Lump On My Left Breast Posted: 09-03-06 18:35pm
Hello. I'm 17 and my mom has actually
recently finished chemo and is starting on
radiation next week for breast cancer.
I found a sore/painful lump under the
nipple on my left breast a week ago. My
period also came with it, so I thought the
lump was going to go once my period ends.
My period just ended a day ago, but the
lump is still there with no signs of
swelling down.
I was afraid to upset my mom, but I
finally worked up the courage to tell her,
and she said my lump feels different from
her cancer. It's kind of hard, like a
soft bone and it's surrounding is kind of
thick and sore to press.
I'm going to call the doctor as soon as
the long weekend is up...But it's the long
weekend, and i'm afraid that there won't
be a appointment available soon...
Have I waited too long already?
And even with my mom as my family history,
it's still rare for a teen to get cancer,
right?
Someone please enlighten me, because even
the long weekend is too long a wait
now...
Thank-you~
If you're in the states don't
wait.....Make an appointment now.
Knowing makes all the difference. Waiting
will only worsen.
Good luck!

Thank-you so much on replying~ and so fast
too~
oh my, i'm sorry if I sound stupid or just
out of whacked...But is my situation so
serious that I can't wait 2 days~?
Don't worry, I understand that I will get
an appointment as soon as possible. I'll
go to a private clinic if I must. But, I
have waited a week already... Is another
2 days dangerous?
But thank-you~! Thank-you so much, this
means a lot to me~!
