It's natural upon feeling a lump in your breast to think, "Ahhhh. I have breast cancer!" Dr. Richardson suggests you try not to panic as there are several healthy explanations for breast lumps. Before assuming the worst, take a deep breath, and call your doctor. Using ultrasound, they'll be able to thoroughly examine the breast tissue and make a proper diagnosis. To prepare for your appointment, conduct a breast self-exam, noting how the lump feels and its location. You'll want to share with your doctor what you're experiencing. Dr. Richardson's final word of advice? Stay away from the internet. The last thing you'll want to do is flood your brain with scary, negative thoughts. You've got this!
