Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Breasts

Hi, I have a problem. I'm a 19-year-old female and I did something very stupid. When I was 9 I realized a lump had formed in both my breasts right beneath the nipple. I didn't pay much attention to that since I was just a kid and thought it's a part of development or something. However, the lumps kept growing and by now they form basically my whole breasts. I never told anyone about it and I still haven't had it checked because all my childhood I thought it's okay and normal and everyone has that. Then I became concerned but never found the courage to see a doc or tell anyone about it, even though I know I should have. I've never had ANY health problems and I feel fine. I remember I've had blood tests done when I was 13 and everything was OK. I'm a non-smoker, I do sports regularly, eat helathy food etc. My breasts look absolutely normal but the large lumps are freaking me out. I know I need to get it checked asap, but is there any chance these lumps are NOT cancer? Would it be too late to treat it if the lumps were really tumors? I was dumb not to tell anyone earlier but I was a stupid kid and then I thought it's too late to do anything about it. Please don't judge me.. thanks so much for your advice.

Welcome to Healthcaremagic... you are right in your first impression that they are your normal breast tissue.. if you feel normal breast tissue between two fingers by pressing them they will appear like a lump... use the flat surface of your palm and fingers to feel your breast... then they will disappear.. if you feel lumps with the flat surface of your hand then have a checkup with your doctor...
