Dear Kay,

Definatly make an appointment with your Gyn and have this checked into. Any lump should be examined and a mammogram and or sono and any other tests needed done to rule uot breast cancer.

I had a journey with breat cancer 3 years ago and I tell Everyone Run don't walk to you physician and get it taken care of.

Most likely the news will be postive but don't wait around to hear it get the answer NOW.
