Thanks Jan! The surgeon's nurse called me back yesterday and she said to massage the area in the shower with warm water and if it's still "lumpy" on Monday to call them and they will have me come back in. I'm really stressed about this. Up until now, it was a distant chance that the small mass was malignant. But with this, it has me really worried. Also, I'd describe my lumps the exact same way you did. More like mounds in the areola, painless and discolored. I had my mammogram/ultrasound/ductogram, Oct 23rd, so in that exam this wasn't there. My surgical consult was on Monday, and honestly I didn't even look at my breast after my shower. I usually have a towel on and get dressed in my bedroom.
