What could breast lumps be?
I am glad to hear that your friend has scheduled a visit to get theses lumps checked. Since you do not mention her age, or if the lumps are painful or not, it is difficult for me to tell what they are from your question. If they are painful or tender, an abcess or mastitis is more likely. They could be cysts, fibromas, or lipomas if they are not painful. The good news is that because they are "moving", it is not likely that they are breast cancers. However, a more thorough screening and examination by the doctor should help her find out exactly what these lumps are.
Hi
I am a 2 time breast cancer survivor. It has been my experience that in any kind of cancer , there are no rules. Usually if they roll. it can be a good sign,however, ANY lump should be checked by an oncologist. And another thing to be aware of is : do get a second opinion, breast biopsies can read negative (needle biopsy). Mine did, & the only way they knew for sure was by doing a surgical biopsy. I am not trying to frighten anyone out of their minds, but rather provide information that may save your life. deb Lyon
