Im scared guys

[Emser]

Hiya guys, well, the prob is i always do breast checks, im only 25 but i still do, but yesterday whilst checking i found what feels like a lump, mum thinks its breast tissue, im not so sure, its not around the nipple, its more high up towards my chest and ribs, but im worried. Ive had dodgy breast tissue before which ive known is fine, but im worried, when i was 18 i might not have worried but now i do.

Ok guys, i went to see my doc this morning, I've been told I have a 'breast mouse', otherwise known as a Fibrodeama, not sure if im spelling that right, but checked online and thats the medical jargon for it.
The doc said they are benign, but im still so scared, ive been referred to clinic at the hospital, doc said they alwyays send any lumps that way, so im waiting for a letter to find out when my appt is scheduled. Has anyone else had these breast mouse things???

Hormonal changes do cause breast tissue to feel lumpy at times. The best thing for you to do at this point is to see your Primary Care Physician OR your OB/GYN for a clinical breast exam and any testing he/she feels necessary. Regards .....
