Steelersfan	when you say bumps, i'm thinking tiny bumps on your skin, around your nipples.... this is normal. Anyway, if you have a lump in your breast, this can also be normal. A breast is muscle and fatty tissue, it's not a smooth mass. It's when you have a lump (which would be harder) that didn't used to be there or noticable changes in your breasts. Also if your nipple becomes inverted or your skin starts dimpling, those are both signs of breast cancer. Anway, to ease your mind, I'd go to the doctor. Then you can also discuss what's normal as opposed to abnormal. He or she can help you to know what to look for while doing your monthly self breast exam. Also, unless the doctor is concerned, they probably won't even do a mammo. But don't worry because you are probably just fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jolo	I just answered somebody else with the same question, here we go... Not at all, more than 4 out of 5 breast lumps that are biopsied are benign, and that's not even counting the many lumps that don't even need to be biopsied because they are obviously benign or normal. The whole point of the breast self exam is to notice any new lumps which do not go away on their own after your next cycle or get noticeably worse. If that's the case, then have your doctor check it out. Depending on your age, you may need to get mammograms or ultrasound exams which would give the doctors a much better picture (literally) of what is going on.

Answer Angel	On the outside? Or the inside? If you feel any abnormal bumps on the inside of your breast, then you may have breast cancer. In either case, you should go to your doctor. Immediately. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jsbrads	There is such a thing as benign it means the lump won't hurt you, but definitly go to a dr. or hospital. A mamogram will get a better picture of what is going on inside Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hopflower	Is your mother a doctor? There are many types of lumps and bumps that breasts can have that are not at all cancer. They could be cysts, harmless tumours, fibrous matter, etc. Make an appointment and have an exam and a mammogram. There is every chance that it is something harmless. Good luck to you, and don't worry. Even breast cancer now has a 97.9% cure if caught in time. Go now; and don't put it off, dear. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bristow707	Go get a second opinion, immediately. Doctors do make mistakes, they are human. You may just have cysts. I have known of doctors who have misdiagnosed cancer. So, please get a second opinion!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chanmckinlay	It could be but it could also be hormone changes (during your cycle you will get lumps and bumps in breasts). Go to your doctor and have a breast examination - they know the difference between a hormone lump and cycts/cancer. If they are concerned they will send you for an ultrasound. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

barthebear	Unless your mother is a physician and you have had a breast biopsy, there is no way for sure to know. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

IDKthat	You need to get to the Dr. Relax though, not all lumps are always cancer. A friend of mine had one, & when they gave her a mamogram, the pressure broke up the lump, because it was just a collection of fat. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tena	bumbs or lumps? think of your boob of a bag of grapes.. if you feel a pebble or rock within that bag of grapes (while you're examining your breast) that's something you need to be worried about and go and see a doc. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

frankiejane1	Is your mother a doctor? Does breast cancer run in your family? Go to a doctor ... why are you asking people on Yahoo instead of making an appointment to be checked out? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kate P.	You're mom has no right to diagnose you with anything. See a real physician. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

heatedwirez	If your mum really said that then you should disown her and go find a decent parent. All breasts have lumps, what you need to look out for is changes in those lumps. If you are really worried, go to the doc and get a breast examination. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kjh4129	Vulg!!! You guys always beat me to the draw!!! Fatty globules are very common as are benign tumors and lots of other things that are not necessarily cancer. Just relax and go see your OB/GYN. EDIT: I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ANY DOCTOR WOULD PROVIDE SOMEONE WITH BOTH A DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS BASED ON SIMPLY A VISUAL EXAM. THIS IS BOTH UNBELIEVABLE AT BEST AND UNACCEPTABLE, EGREGIOUS AT WORST. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fartbuster	I'm sure you don't really need to ask us. Go to the doctor and get a professional opinion and mammogram. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Maria	Is your mom a doctor? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tim2honorgod	Don't be scared, if they catch it ahead of time . . they can save the breasts. Get to the doctor ASAP. PS: Sorry for all the guys who make rude comments and leave a bad name for real men. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tique AM VA	Sweetheart, judging by your previous questions, you'll survive. You may wanna go to your local psychiatrist and tell her you have a problem with compulsive lying, however. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Єгіскα	first off, that's a horrible thing to tell a child. you need to see a doctor. at your age, most likely it's not cancer but go see an MD anyway just to be safe. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Moo Moo Mair	I wouldn't be so quick to believe it is cancer. First, if you are concerned, go see a doctor. It could be that you have fibrous breasts. My sister has this and her breasts will get lumpy especially right before her period. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
