Breast Cancer!?

562>How many lumps are you supposed to feel in you breast' if you think you have breast cancer?
Reply:if youre feeling numerous lumps in both breasts chances are they are just glands...also sometimes glands become larger because of hormones /bc pills...if they move and are on both breasts its probably nothing....you should see a doctor anyway..if nothing more than to put your mind at rest.
Reply:Sometimes lumps are just fibrous tissue. I had that and many women do. It doesn't mean cancer is present. It is best to see a doctor for an examination to determine what the lump or lumps are. I had breast cancer and It wasn't even a lump. It was only seen by a mammogram that showed tiny clusters inside. You couldn't feel them. They had to do a biopsy(insert needle and pull out some of the tissue) and a pathologist looked at some of the cells under a microscope. The cells were cancer. No lump, but still my breast had to be removed. It is called DCIS. My mothers breast cancer was a lump. They removed her lump and lymph nodes. She had to do chemotherapy also.
Reply:It could be one it could be several. check with your DR. If you are young breast cancer is extremely rare. only 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer over a lifetime
