I never do self-exams like I'm supposed to, but yesterday I was "adjusting" and noticed a lump on my right breast. It's deep in the tissue below my areola(mine are rather large and take up most of the front of my breasts) about 2 inches below the surface. It's very firm and about the size of a frozen pea or a pencil eraser, maybe slightly larger. It's difficult to move it to the surface because it is so deep in my breast tissue, and seems to be attached by tissue no thicker than a piece of string. I have naturally full, though lumpy breasts but it's nothing like the tissue anywhere else on that breast or in the same area on the other one. I also let my fiance feel it to make sure I wasn't imagining anything and he noted the same. I have a history of breast cancer in my family on both sides, but it's 2-3 generations back. My mom and my dad have had several benign cysts on their breasts. Should I see a doctor right away or wait a month or two and see if it's still there? I'm only 22.
