In reply to Scared, found lump (or is it a rib?) in breast!, posted by Deneb on January 10, 2006, at 23:15:02
Deneb,
it's a good idea to see a Dr. right away. However...there are other conditions that make breasts "lumpy" w/o being cancer. Sometimes breasts can get "lumpy" before a period; sometimes people have benign cysts; some people have fibrocycstic conditions that result in benign lumps.I'm saying that just to remind you that although you do NEED to get this checked out, there are plenty of non-cancer things out there.
It's very good to know that there is no history of cancer in the family, and your youth is on your side. Please see a Dr. and let us know what happens!
I think you're going to be OK. :)
