Boobies are Our friends? Lumps?

Hello, so I am going to post this anonymously because I haven’t wrapped my head around it yet.

So I am generally a healthy person, I’ve lost lots of weight in a 2 year frame (maybe 50lbs) I’ve never notice abnormal things on my body ever. So let’s get to it.

I’ve never had perfect, round, plumb boobs. They are on the smaller side. When I lost weight, I lost about two cup sizes! Yeah, my Mother even tells me I lost my “tatas” but I love my body, so it’s ok!

I normally check my breasts before I bath myself. Well a little over a month or so ago, I check them. My left is swollen and the nipple too, larger then the other right breast. I noticed because it fills my bra a lot more then the other does. Never thought about it at first, until I felt my breasts.

My left boobs had a hard mass/bump under my nipple. I can push the bottom of my boob (no bra) up and it’s noticeable, and can feel it while touching above my nipple. The other does not have this, it’s squishy and no lump forms.

I thought it would go away over time, maybe my glad was “plugged up”, but it’s now starting to hurt. You know what feeling you get when you are about to start your period and no mater what you lean on or touch your boob hurts? Yeah, but 20/7 and only in one breast.

My grandfather was just diagnosed with stage 2 cancer, and ovarian cancer runs through my fathers, Mothers side. My moms side is anonymous as my grandmother was adopted.

I need more confidence built up to confront my doctor at age 21, that I have a lump in my breast.

I would love some success stories, or information, or even if this has happened to you, it’s eating away at my anxiety, depression, any other metal focus I have.
