I Am Having Breast Lump Which Is Hard Pea Size In Each Breast. Is It The Early Stage Of Breast Cancer Or Lumps That Relate To Milk Still Being Stored In Breast ?

breast lump - hard pea size lump found in each breast a year after breasfeeding Hi there. I am 38 years old and stopped breasfeeding my youngest son a year ago. I nursed him for nearly 23 months and prior to this nursed my eldest son a year previously for again, 22 months. I have always had lumpy breasts but more so since stopping breastfeeding . I have recently found two small hard lumps, one in each breast. This caused me a lot of concern since my mohter wad recently diagnosed in her late sixties as having pre invasive breast cancer , which im told is the very early stages and not in fact full blown cancer . I have an ultrasound in two weeks after my GP found one of the lumps, and Im oging out my mind with worry! Is there any chance that after a year of breast feeding I could have lumps that relate to milk still being stored? Any advice please.

Hi,

It's not possible that the milk is stored in breast after stopping breast feeding. You also have a family history of yourmother,I would advice you to consult a gynac ,get your mamography done to exclude cancer,rather than carring tension in your mind.
Thanks

Hi, Cari Eagle,
Thanks for query.
Nothing to worry,this may be some fibrosed milk glands .
As there is h/o cancer to your mother Go for Mammography to rule out cancer.
ok and bye.
