When you feel a lump in your breasts you should not allow
fear to wash over you. The fact is that there are many myths and facts about
lumps and it’s important to know what’s what. If you have a lump in your
breasts there’s an 80% chance that it isn't cancer. There are lumps that are
just cysts and are harmless. The following is a list of myths about lumps:
- All lumps are cancer
- If you have a mammogram that’s normal you are all set
- Lumps are painless
- Young girls can’t get lumps
- Lumps are harmless if you don’t have a breast cancer history
A lump is not easy to deal with if you don’t know what the
facts are. As a patient it’s vital to stay vigilant. The following list is a
list of facts about lumps:
- If a lump is detected, you need to get it looked at
- A mammogram is a good idea
- A biopsy on a lump may be necessary
- If a lump is seen as benign, it’s important to make sure that you monitor it consistently
- Possible tumors may still loom even if it’s not in the lump
It’s important for a patient to understand that keeping an
eye on lumps through diagnostic
imaging procedures is a smart thing to do. Anything that can develop into a
complicated and complex condition is always worth investigating. Patients at
risk for breast cancer also need to understand that factors such as diet,
family history, and previous successful bouts with breast cancer, are not
really relevant when it comes to dealing with the disease.
