Large, painful breast lump that is growing fast

Large, painful breast lump that is growing fast

I just had a baby on May 27th and I have been breastfeeding. I noticed a small lump in my right breast in the upper left side. It was about the size of a grape around June 18th. Since then it has been increasingly painful and is now about the size of a plum. It is very hard and it no longer moves when I push it. I have tried everything for it if it was a plugged duct but nothing has worked. I went to the doctor and she said it probably wasn't a plugged duct and she has scheduled me for a ultrasound next week but I was hoping to get some ideas on what it is before that. Thank you.

Dear RachL777, Without further evaluation including physical examination it is impossible to say what this is for sure.  Following through with the evaluation as suggested by your doctor is recommended.

Hi!
I am 26 years old and one year ago i was having EXACTLY the same problem like you and my lump became like an apple in few months. i was to the dr but in the beggining they said that i am too young to get scared to have breas cancer especially tht i dont hve cases in my family and the send me home asuring me that the lump will disapear. Nothing happend and i went alone and did a biposy and the result was positive: IDC, stage III.Now i am on chemo 6 cycles and then mastectomy and then god knows what! Dont be afraid and dont wait like me too long!Hope 2 hear soon from u, good news.
