Lump in my breast, was it always there but didn't notice from the fat



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I have a lump that is right near my cleavage. It keeps on getting bigger and bigger and I do not know which doctor I should see. GYN, Derm or family practice. Has anyone had these kind of lump (its right on my breast plate) I've done some research and found out that breast cancer have a tendencies to be in the middle or towards your arm pit. But this lump is towards the middle of my chest. Please someone help me understand what it is??????????

I don't know much about this but I would see your family doctor in the first instance. He/she will send you for tests if required. Good luck, hope it's nothing serious.

Go to your GP. I found a large lump before and went to the GP who told me I just have lumpy breasts. She explained the difference between the type of lumps and showed me how I basically had a matching one on the other breast. It is probably nothing to worry about but there is no point ignoring it either. Get it checked out and have your mind out at rest.

Any of your Dr's should be able to help but GO immediately and have it checked out. I have "lumpy breasts" - but with Breast Cancer in my Family I get checked twice a year (OBYGN), and once a year I have a mamogram w/ sonogram. I do both, since a mamogram can miss certain things - a lumpy breast is easy to determine via sonogram. Please get this checked out, don't ignore any signs.~

I agree with the others, go have it checked, immediately! I would probably go to my ob-gyn, but all that matters is that you do see a doctor as soon as possible.

Thanks all for replying, I will make an appt first time tomorrow morning. It may be a cyst because it has gotton bigger and warm to touch. I had a hard timr sleeping on the belly last night.

I'll keep you posted

There are lymph nodes in the area you are describing, but I would still get it checked out. I have numerous little lumpies there now, and had my OB/GYN check it out. He wasn't alarmed, but I'm still going to have my regular mamogram done on Wednesday. I want them to compare to the image to when I was fatter. It ALL feels different....

I also have a lump on my breast right on my breastplate. My ob gyn said it's just a cyst. But, go get checked out anyway. YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE!!!!!

Went to the doctor and it was a cyst, the doctor removed and put a drain and should have the band-aid on for another three weeks for my next visit. All is good.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
