1. s/o breast lumps

   

   Discussion by zsazsa-stl · September 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Woes

   Do you do regular self-exams? I try, but my boobs are really lumpy, bumpy. I'm always paranoid that I wouldn't recognize a tumor even if my fingers were right on it.

   I try, but don't know what is supposed to be normal. DH found a lump in my breast in 2007. He noticed something felt different. I had it checked out and they said to keep an eye on it and come back if it gets bigger. DH felt it, the doctor(s) felt it, but I never could find it. I still can't.

   I do--I have reason to be paranoid. And mine are lumpy, I'm just looking for 'abnormal' lumps--things that change. Although while BFing? I don't think it works so well.

   I do, but I'm not sure how effective it is.

   Yeah. I have an enlarged lymph node in one armpit that has been there ~4 years. Scary at first, but it's normal. As long as you know what your breast feels like when it's "normal", you should recognize anything that changes.

   Nope. I mean, I manhandle them a lot, and yeah, they're lumpy, but I've never been able to find information on how to do a self-exam on breasts shaped like mine, so I'm a little lost, here. "Make circles around the nipple" - Yeah, you try that when your nipple is the bottom of your boob. But we have absolutely no history…
