Hi everyone, just hitting the panic button here. Just had my DR. discover a flat , lima bean like shaped lump in my breast. I am very small breasted ( A-cup) so you can feel where the lump is, right up against my chest wall. OK I do not know alot about breast cancer, but I thought I read somewhere that if a lump is not "floating" or is attached it tends to be something bigger then cysts or what would usually be best cast senerio. I do realize I am panicing a bit, but had my maternal gr.mother die of breast cancer. I am hoping for some real life experiences here, words of wisdom. I am having a mammo, with an ultrasound next week......I HATE waiting.

To top it off , strange as it may seem I did have a dream about 1 month ago about a sore on my breast that oozed out liquid. It was so weird that I told my husband about it. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. I am not looking for best case senerio, just those with some experience in what I may be venturing into.
Thanks ahead for your help. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif

My sister has just went through the lump thing also, she does have cancer. Having surgery Aug 7. I have three other sisters in the past that had lumps, which turned out to be nothing. I think age has a factor in all of this.
I hope things turn out ok for you.
Keep us posted
