Q: breast discharge and thickening of the breast

I'd suggest calling your doctor. As PJ mentioned in her answer to your earlier question, there are many possible reasons for nipple discharge. The thickening/lump in your breast is a change and breast changes that last longer than a menstrual period need to be checked out by a doctor. Although most lumps that need to be biopsied turn out to be benign, only a doctor who actually examines your breast can say for sure what your symptoms mean. Since it may take a while to get an appointment scheduled, why don't you call today or tomorrow?
