Will Starting Nicotine Patches With A Lump In The Breast Cause Any Unseen Problems?
I recently found a lump in my right breast. I was wanting to start my nicotine patches to help me stop smoking. should I wait until I see my doctor about this lump? I'm very nervous & stressed about all of this. Please give me some advice. Breast cancer runs on both sides of my family & I'm very upset & concered about that. also I don't want my family to know about the lump until i find out what is causing it or if I have breast cancer. I had a hysterecomy in Sept. 2013, I had a cyst on my right ovary as big as a baseball, endemetrious & fibrod temors. I guess thats why I'm so nervous about all of this & I really would appreciate some advice. Thanks

hi your family member are suffering with all kind of symptoms or disease thats why you are more anxious, so better to take some counselling from clinical psychologist and same to go for mammography for right breast, and manage according to report and discuss with gynecologist
