Dear Sandy,

I too am a nurse and I too found a lump that grew almost overnight. I had a fast agressive tumor that was cancer. It was firm and irregular in shape. Almost 3 years out....

Please get a referral to a Breast Cancer Surgeon and get the tests done. Sono, mammogram and biospy if advised and get to the bottom of this so you can stop worrying yourself to death.

I wish only the very best for you, Barbara
