How do you know if you have a lump on your breast - this might be very obvious, but is it very prominent? Is there any discoloration?

You should have your doctor do a breast exam, they may refer you for a mammogram and ultrasound.

My tumor was not detectable by exam. It could only be seen on a mammogram. See your doctor right away.

Have it checked. It was the first thing my mom noticed prior to her mammogram showing a growth.

If it's new, definitely have it checked. If it's always been that way then it's a normal occurrence. No one has perfect symmetry.

One of my breasts is bigger then the other and it feels harder then the other, it hurts to the touch or when I jump or run - could this be breast cancer or just growth? (It hasn't seemed to have gotten any worse then past few months)

It could be growth or growing pains, but that depends on your age. If you're young, that's probably it. But if not, then it's hard to tell.
In a situation like this, having it checked out by a doctor is probably the safe thing to do.

I agree. You should have it checked out. My mother's first sign was a change in breast size but it was not followed up by her doctor. When she had her mammogram a couple of months later, they found the growth. Could have been caught sooner if they had responded to the change in breast size.

Is your entire breast supposed to be "soft" without ANY hardness at all? Not even where it starts to protrude from the chest?

Everyone is different. Some women have very dense breast tissue and it may feel lumpy normally. Others have very soft breast. The important thing is to know your own body and be aware of any changes in apperance and texture.

Cysts are very common and rarely turn into cancers. But it's extremely important to find out whether what you have is just a cyst or something else. Even if you've had cysts in the past, if you find a new lump in your breast, don't assume it's a cyst. If the lump doesn't go away or gets larger,...
Comment 3Cysts are very common and rarely turn into cancers. But it's extremely important to find out whether what you have is just a cyst or something else. Even if you've had cysts in the past, if you find a new lump in your breast, don't assume it's a cyst. If the lump doesn't go away or gets larger, it's important to check it out further. Routine mammograms are important for all women, regardless of your history of cysts or other biopsy results.

Be sure to be aware of any changes that may occur. Also, when people have dense breasts, doctors will often perform ultrasounds if they feel that the lump needs to be examined further. Be sure to ask your doctor about this option.

I have always had visible veins as I am very fair skinned. I was grateful for that when they injected dye to locate the exact place for the sentinel node!

I'm 23 year old. I have a lump in the upper outer quadrant of my right breast. I had it biopsied 5 months before... it's stage 2. I sometimes feel pain in that area not very often. Does it mean it has metastasized??

I would ask your doctor to be sure nothing has changed. Have you had surgery, chemo or radiation?
