Any lump such as the one you described should be checked by a doctor. You are doing the right thing. But the location you described is an unusual site for cancer, but it still can happen.

best regards,
Leo

Hi Pug,
My name is Jeri and I am 19. Just last weekend I found a lump in my breast. It felt exactly how you decribed. Oblong, hard, can move it a little... Well i just had an appointment on Friday and had an ultrasound done on my breast. It turns out that I have a tumor...it is bnign, but it still has to be removed. I hope you get it checked out soon... it could be serious. If you would like we could e-mail each other and let each other know what is going on, so that way we might be able to know what to expect. My e-mail is jeri_luv_ya@hotmail.com.
