Can A Lump On The Side Of My Breast Be Cancer?
I had bunionoctomy surgery on my right foot on Mar 28th, 2014. I left using crutches which were sore on the armpits and two days later my right breast on the very side has been very sore. When i jump I can feel it and it hurts to the touch. After many examinations by myself, I found a small lump on the side of my breast and it feels like a cyst would feel, which is painful. I have a doctors appointment this wed. I am worried that it could be cancer. What do you think? Thanks, April

Hi April,
To my opinion, the small lump on the side of your breast might be a cyst. Further physical examination by your doctor is highly suggested together with breast ultrasound.
If you gender is female, it might be related to hormonal changes during monthly cycle. It is recommended to have such examination the 5th to 10th day.
Hope it was of help!
