I found 1 of them about a month ago i
know i should of had it checked out but i have honestly have the month from hell, ds got taken into hospital twice, my mum got beat up by her prick partner...see what i mean!

I'mnot the least bit worried though. is that normal? I'm only 24, didnt bf, had a emergency section. My mum thinks its just cists, and shes probably right. I told my dp tonight that i was going to get them checked out, and he freaked out, nearly crying..the works! He's asked me "are you not the slightest bit worried and i answered no. Buts its got me thinking, should i be worried?

You should definitely get them checked. If its nothing then at least your mind is set at rest, if it is something you will get the treatment you need. You should always get lumps looked at whatever your age.

I'm not saying you should be worried, there are lots of reasons why people get breast lumps, but you should be pro-active in looking after your health. Please have a check up.

My aunt found some lumps in her breast and wasn't 'worried',she didn't tell anyone,including her husband.She is only 42 and now dying from breast cancer and secondaries in her lungs and bones.

DO NOT IGNORE.

You must get them checked out.

Yes, they may well be cysts, probably are infact. But they might not be.

Being young and healthy sadly does not make you exempt from getting cancerous tumors.

For the sake of your child, get these lumps checked out asap.

Please get checked out. It may well be nothing but you can't be sure without getting it checked out.

Good luck.

Glad you went to your GP and found out they are benign-always best to get lumps and bumps sorted

Thanks for your thoughts.

Well done mummysgoingmad. I bet you feel like a weight has been lifted from your shoulders. And if you don't I bet your OH does.

I'm glad it went well for you
