I can't believe this. A few months ago I noticed a lump on my left breast near my sternum. I went in to get it checked, got referred for an ultrasound, met with a breast surgeon who assured me the ultrasound was fine, just showed fibrocystic breast changes (lumpy breast tissue) and nothing to worry about. It happened right before my period and went away soon therafter.
Fast forward to this month, and now I have found another bump on the outer side of my breast, but this one feels a bit different - rounder, granular, and more firm. Very moveable. I'm coming off a terrible headflu and my armpit lymph nodes are big, along with my neck and even one in my groin.
I have an appointment to see the OBGYN in a few days (friday) and see what she thinks. I am stressed in the meantime, thinking it's horrible, it feels different than the last benign bump, and it's near my armpit which is bad, etc.
I'm 25 years old, btw. And I'm supposed to get my period this coming Monday and have been breaking out, etc. that points to hormones being out of wack.
I googled and the fibroadenoma sounds appropriate, but my bump is not smooth on the top, it's got little bumps/granular feel to it. I'm so panicked about this. Does anybody have any ideas?
