Q: PEA SIZED LUMP IN BREAST!!!

I am only 28 but I found a pea sized lump in my right breast, I have had lactating in the left breast but what concerns me the most is family history on my moms side breast cancer is VERY high, and I don't want to get ahead of myself but I normally do a self breast exam every month I haven't in the past couple of months... so I don't know how long this has been there....

 

The lump does not move, it does not hurt, an I have had my husband check to see if he could feel if it anything was there, an he could... the one time I wished that I was imagining things...

Felicia, most breast lumps are NOT cancer. But you do need to rule it out, particularly with a strong family history. So you'd best see a doctor about this, OK? Good luck - PJH
