Breat Mass...Can you tell me what it might be?

I have been to my doctor and had a breast exam and said everything was fine but I forgot to ask him to feel specifically for this one mass I was worried about. The mass feels like squishy tissue that has a few moveable cysts in it. Its about 2 inches long by 1 inch wide. Theres no pain. And the mass itself feels a little moveable for the most part except one small part. I will mention I do have lots of scar tissue from a breast reduction I had 10 years ago. I know no one can diagnose me but my doctor. But I was just wondering if you know or have any idea what this could be. I can also get a good grasp on this mass like I can grab it with my fingers and almost wrap my fingers around it in most spots. One more thing is that I can only feel it when I am sitting up and then only when I grab it between my fingers. When I lay down I can sometimes feel where it might be but not easily. It kinda feels like squishy tissue with some hard/firm spots and possibly with some cysts in it. Its in the lower middle area of my breast just a little bit under the areola. Kinda close to the key hole scar mark form the surgery. I am a 29 year old female by the way and my doctor has told me I have lumpy breasts anyways.

I understand there would be no way of you knowing for sure what it is but I am wondering if it sounds like anything you are fimilar with just from what I described.

Dear i_am_who_i_am:  As stated in your prior post, there is NO way we can comment on what you are feeling without evaluation.  If your doctor examined your breast, he would have felt the entire breast and alerted you if anything felt out of the ordinary.  Breasts often feel lumpy and bumpy and this is normal.  If you are concerned, you need to make another appointment with your doctor.
