Thanks to HCM
I CAN understand your concern
4cm mass in breast on self examination which is not movable may be fibroid or carcinoma
so I would like to suggest plz undergo once mammography test for both the breast so we will come to know the diagnosis
once it comes FNAC OR BIOPSY of that mass will decide stage
so without neglecting undergo thorough checkup..it reveal the nature of mass
but don't we have enough technology of treatment for the disorder .
survival rate increased for the last 10 years .
have a good diet ,avoid mental stress , self confidence & assurance will lead goodlife span . ok
