breast lump


i started noticing over a period of time that my right breast was getting much bigger than the left one, i didnt pay much attention to it until about 7 days ago, i noticed a fairly big lump in my right breast. it's not painful at all but my right breast has further enlarged and the lump is about a third of my breast, its also very hard and fixed. i had an ultrasound done but the doctor only said that i have one breast bigger than the other. now im starting to get really sore armpit specially the right one and i was wondering if my doctor's diagnosis may be right????
i was also told that since i am 19 years old, i wouldnt be taken seriously....i'm a little confused!!!!

thank you so much, i followed your advice and im going to a breast specialist on thursday.....and you are absolutely right, there are very little chances of my condition being breast cancer, i was unconsciously scaring myself...but then again rather check it than just leave it as it is.

No matter what your age you should be taken seriously !! This could be due to dense breast tissue (lumpy feeling breasts) but it could also be a Fibroadenoma or a cyst; both of which are benign. If I were you I would see another Dr.; a breast specialist if possible. You need a better answer than "one breast is bigger than the other".  That is very poor medical practice to my way of thinking. Get a second opinion but I wouldn't worry that it might be cancer .... not likely at all.    Regards ...
