no,i have lumps in my right breast,not cancer but in the left one where there are no lumps they discovered calcifications and the biopsy showed i have d.c.i.s,it is invasive which means i require mastectomy,it is important to have mammogram tho as without the lump i would'nt have known about the left and untreated it would have become a lot worse

No-could be cysts which can be drained,removed surgically but NOT Life-threatening; Could be Fibroids-although bothersome and can be painful are NOT Cancer Nor life-threatening BUT the best way for you to find out what exactly just what the lumps are need to go get a Sonogram-contact a Breact Center throguh your family doctor or Gynocologist--Good luck

Breasts are ducts and can get lumps anytime but cancer is usually the result of long term estrogen excess and is usually only found in women over 40. Don't worry, regular breast massage (nipple sitmulation) will prevent breast cancer as it suppresses estrogen production by producing prolactin. It simulates long term breastfeeding which also prevents breast cancer..

They could be calcium deposits or different types of benign cysts. Its normal for a woman to have lumps in her breasts. Make sure you do your self breast check examines each month so you can 'get to know' your breasts and the lumps that are normal. To put your mind at ease go to your doctor and ask him/her to examine you. It is always best to be safe. Good luck.

women often find lumps in their breast, hormones have alot to do with it, and during your period your breast are more sensitive. but the most important thing is to go see a doctor and make sure thats all it is. women of all ages get breast cancer and the first thing is prevention. go see a doctor and ask questons.

I think so and then not. I say any lump in your breast mean cancer because you have a tight knot in them. otherwise, go to the doc.

the only way to know is to go and get a mammogram...it isn't bad @ all....there are also many other things that can cause lumps...but you're going to have to go though to find out..

Usually not. Probably fibrocystic disease. Get a mammogram to be sure, then do self-exams every month so you can note any changes.
