Looking for anyone that has had wives , or other family members that have been through breast cancer or a breast cancer scare. I found a sizeable lump( 1.5 inches by .5 inch) on her right breast and it is fairly hard to the touch. May be bigger than I am describing. I'm just wondering if it's something that should be looked at by a Dr tomorrow or if it's something that needs certain symptons before being taken seriously. I think she needs to go to a Dr asap! She is hesitant. "It may just go away" SMH!


For your serious answers

Go see a Dr. asap, it ain't worth waiting. If it's nothing great, if not then it's better to catch it early.

Good looking chick, but you should've shopped that inbred looking mother fricker out of the picture.

She's scared. Schedule an appointment and go with her. Cancer doesn't just magically go away

Go to a doctor. If it's something it needs to be treated asap. If it's nothing, you'll have peace of mind.

If there is a lump, as you described, do not hesitate to visit your PCP to get it checked out.

Sometimes people do not want to face the fact they might have cancer. It is very scary. However, the chances of survival drastically increase the sooner you start treatment if this is indeed a malignant tumor.

It is better to be safe than sorry. Sending prayers your way that she has nothing to worry about.

Go see the Doctor today. I'm sure it's nothing but better to be safe. My Mom is a breast cancer survivor and is doing great. God bless.

She should Take out a Cancer policy before going to the Dr if possible.

Is that insensitive to say? I didn't mean it to be. It's just expensive and every little bit helps if that's the case.

I'm not sure how that works exactly with insurance, I just know that my SO had one because of a history of Cancer in both sides of her family.

Good luck to her and you.

No 'or', schedule an appointment ASAP.

If cancerous, it is working its way to a lymph node nearby and then spreading. Brain & lungs are common places for breast cancer to metastasize to.

If this scares you into convincing her to get checked - good.

Have them check it out. My mother passed away when I was 12 from breast cancer. Two of my aunts had it also and always got lumps checked out. Please take this matter seriously.

My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014. She was 40 at the time with no family history of it. Doing great now.

Found a lump and went to doctor. Doctors figured it was a cyst but after mammogram and ultrasound came in and told us it was probably cancerous. Had a biopsy to confirm. Things started happening fast with doctor appointments. Saw surgeon, oncologist, etc. it hadn't spread but she was diagnosed as 2a. Started chemo in December of 14 for 5 months. Double mastectomy in may of 15. She is doing great now.
She needs to go get it looked at now. It is very survivable but you don't want it to spread. Most likely it is a cyst but get the piece of mind.

We have 3 kids and it is a lot to digest. We got amazing support from family and friends. My wife was strong theough it all.

Go to the doctor ASAP. Yes, it may just be a cyst or fibrocystic breast changes, but you don't want to chance that it is something else. It is true that caffeine can affect fibrocystic changes, but that might not be the case here.

I have had problems like this since I was in my 20s and luckily they have all turned out to be nothing serious. I had a lump removed a few years ago which scared the shite out of me. There is nothing like hearing the words "abnormal mammogram" on the day your childhood best friend dies from breast cancer at age 41. Several members of my family have had breast cancer so my doctor is extra cautious because from what I understand, these types of lumps sometimes can mask other true cancerous lumps.

if she gets upset she gets upset get her to her doctor today or call her dr office and ask to speak to the dr you may have to relay this to the nurse but tell the doctor what she said about going to the dr and ask the dr to call her and talk with her she can get mad all she wants but you may have saved her life. Or any of her girlfriends may need to talk to her.

Go to doctor ASAP for peace of mind as well as health.

I've had family with breast cysts, benign tumors and breast cancer. Most likely it is a cyst but it needs to be checked.

Here's to good doctor's reports!

My girl friend, now fiance just got thru with all her treatments. She found a lump and procrastinated a few months before getting it looked at. When she finally did, the doctors initially thought there was nothing to worry about based on the lump and her family history. Once the biopsy came back, surprise it's cancer. Fortunately for her it was still in early stages. The treatments and surgeries still suck, but they can get progressively worse.

Go to the Dr ASAP - don't play around with this! My sister was 36-years-old when she discovered a 4" lump on her breast...I don't want to scare you, but 2 years later she passed away. Trust me, early detection is the key to curing cancer...good luck and I'll pray for you all!

My mother had breast cancer and had a mastectomy in her late 50's. She turned 93 last April. Tell her to go to the doctor find out what it is and take care of it. It may be difficult but with support she can live a nice long life.
