I have a large lump in my left breast and I have a smaller one in my right breast. Is it breast cancer or what is it?

It may be. How old are you? How recently has a doctor does a breast exam on you?

You will have to go to your doctor and have a mammogram done and possibly a fine needle biopsy.
We can't tell whether it is cancer via the internet.

Im 29 and its been 6 months but they said it wasn't breast cancer. They told me its because I'm to stressed out.

I do monthly breast exams on myself and my doctor does them once a year. I am a breast cancer survivor.
Are you in the US? Does your doctor say, yes, there are lumps there?

I was 32 when my breast cancer was found. I was told many stories:
1) I'm too young;
2) It's a fibroid;
3) No family history;
4) Breast cancer is not painful.
In the end, my intuition was correct. It was indeed breast cancer.
I'm 48 now and perfectly healthy.

I was diagnosed with something called benign should I be worried? I don't know much about any of this breast cancer stuff and I'm kind of scared. I went to the doctor and she said I had a lump in my left breast but it's nutting to worry about but she wanted me to go get an ultrasound done. So I went to my ultrasound a ppt and a week or so later I got a letter in the mail and it said I had to make another a ppt because she said it it benign.
