I have read breast cancer lumps are generally hard and things like cysts are soft. Are there any other types of lumps that are benign, but hard?

I have had 2 cysts removed-both felt like marbles.

The only one to allow answer that question should be your dr. The right answer far too important to you. Could well be cyst but knowing the truth as soon as possible could save your life. I spent this past yr. fighting breast cancer& I won. I was told this & I will repeat it to anyone who will listen. Fear kills many more people then breast cancer. The vast majority of women survive the cancer. Finding it early & getting treatment improves your chances big time. So please dear go find out the truth/

Cysts are hard, because the body forms a solid wall around the infection that forms the basis for a cyst.
Tumors are generally soft, but will still feel different from the material around them (in the case of breasts, the normal material is fat).
Look for a spot that feels different.

"Lumps" plural, means it has nothing to do with breast cancer. This is completely hormonal and nothing to worry about. At 15, you can rest assured it all has to do with your cycle.

Do not go by what you have heard. Just go see your Dr. and let them be the ones to educate you. You would be second guessing by other's opinions here. You need a dr's opinion, not the general public's.

You need a biopsy to tell for sure, but GENERALLY, cancerous lesions feel firm, like a frozen pea
