What if I have a lump I can feel?
If you feel/have a thickening, swelling, pain, nipple discharge or retraction (the nipple or skin being pulled in), don't panic. The development of symptoms does not automatically mean that you have cancer. About 70 to 80 percent of breast biopsies result in a benign (non-cancerous) diagnosis.
However, you should always let your healthcare provider know immediately if you develop any symptoms involving your underarms or breasts so that she or he may order the most appropriate test. Your healthcare provider may recommend a diagnostic mammogram, as opposed to a screening mammogram, and/or a breast ultrasound examination to gather information. If this is the case, we will be able to help you find the next level of care.
