Hi Lori - First of all, you've come to the right place. This site can offer you lots of support, information, and comfort. Now, take a look at our post on nipple discharge. Very seldom is it related to cancer, OK? And as for the lump, you should definitely get that looked at. But understand that most lumps turn out to be cysts or benign (non-cancerous) tumors. Even if it gets to the point of biopsy about 80%-85% of lumps that are biopsied are benign. So the statistics are on your side. Please read our post on fear. And then take action: Call the doctor, make an appointment, find out what it is, and move forward, OK? Good luck - PJH
