Is Hard Lump In Right Breast A Sign Of Breast Cancer?
I felt a dime size hard lump in my right breast. I laid on my bed after my shower. O place my arm above my head and asked my husband if he felt anything and a few minutes later he felt it also. Could this be breast cancer? I have an drs appointment tomorrow

Hi,
I can understand your concern for hard lump in right breast.
You do not worry, most of the breast lumps are benign. It depends on the size, time and multiple other feature of the lump to be benign or malignant. It is further confirmed by fine needle aspiration cytology and mammography.
If at all you are so much worried then you can visit a surgeon and get it excised. Do go for biopsy of the lump.
All the best.
