2cm breast lump

[shyloveskai]

Has anyone had this? It was the size of a little bb 6 or more months ago when i first noticed it (before pregnancy). My dr felt it righy away when doing the exam and said it feels like 2cm now and most likely benign but its so much bigger than it started and none of the rest of my breasts feel like it. Any way im not too worried but i figured id better be safe than sorry.
Getting a breast ultrasound next Wednesday. What can i do if its benign? Just leave it in there? Get it removed if it gets larger?

From my experience (I work in untrasound doing breast exams everyday),  a 2cm palpable breast lump is most often a simple cyst.  2cm is actually quite big.  If it turns out to be a cyst,  the dr will likely give you the option to have it aspirated.  It's very easy.  That is done with u/s as well.  They just numb the area, stick a needle in,  and s u c k the fluid out.  No pain. When you go for the u/s you can watch the screen yourself.  A cyst will look like a big black area and the rest of the tissue will look gray. Good luck

Ya im figuring its normal, as most are. It just feels so obvious when i touch the area of my breast i was like 'whoa what is that' and my husband was like 'i feel it too get it checked'! Then i thought ew i felt this hard little bump so long ago and now its bigger so weird. I didnt have anything like it with my first child. Im sure its just a cyst or benign bump.

I have a little bump on my areola as well.. I've heard it's normal in pregnancy because of hormones & changing breasts. Don't stress until you know!
