Painless lump in my breast? Appointment in a couple of days and unsure what to ask?
10/23/08
Unsure what to expect. Im 20 and not sure what a lump should feel like I suppose. It doesnt hurt and I have no rash, dimpling or anything just a hard part at the top of my right breast. Im very active and have my nipples pierced would this have anything to do with it?

Hi April - At your age, breast cancer is almost unheard of. It's good to be aware of changes in your breasts, especially as you get older; but right now, the thickness you feel is probably muscle, scar tissue, perhaps fibrous tissue, or something else. As for what questions you should ask - tell the doctor you want to know what the thickening is, and if it's something you shuld be concerned about. Hopefully you'll get some answers. Good luck - PJH
