Q: i felt something on my left breast, is this a sign of breast cancer since i dont want to see a docto

I did tried to feel my breast: i found out that my right breast is bigger than my left breast. I also found out that on my left lower breast i felt something like round shape while on the other side I felt the round shape but not that lower to my breast. Is this a sign of breast cancer since im afraid to see a doctor and im afraid to find out if I do have a breast cancer.

Elvira, don't worry about your grammar - it's fine! Please don't be afraid to go see the doctor. Or - if you can't control your fear - go see the doctor anyway. You can't let fear rule your health-care decisions; it doesn't make sense. What you describe doesn't sound like a breast cancer symptom, but don't say "Whew, I guess I don't have to see the doctor." Anytime you feel that your breasts are "out of whack" in some way, you should have them checked. So screw up your courage, pick up the phone, and make an appointment - please. Good luck - PJH
