Hi,
I have had a small lump on my right nipple for 4-5 weeks; it isn’t painful at all but it is starting to worry me.
Is it worth going to the doctors or should I leave it a little longer? I am 26 and I know it is very rare for people of my age to get breast cancer.
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Hi Squig
My advice would be to get it checked out. Chances are that it’s nothing but it’s always better to err on the side of caution… if only to put your mind at rest.
