I am 28, and have a few hard masses in my breast. The doc said that I have a lot of tissue and lympnodes & they don't see anything cancerous (good thing) but then said I should maybe see a breast surgeon. Why?
Also does having alot of lympnodes or tissue affect anything?

It could be for a second opinion or to do a biopsy on some of the tissues to make sure it is not cancer. You should call your Dr back and ask why. When i had my last one they made me come back again for another view and NO CAFFEINE before because this helps the view.

The doc is covering their rear end. Not taking any chances, but wants to cover all bases as just in case it's bad. But it's not as they said. Kinda like buying a lottery ticket for tonight and saying to a friend "their is a chance we may go for a trip around the world if I win tonight, so be ready and pack a bag but don't spend too much time packing."

No one can know for sure if it is cancerous without taking a biopsy. Surgeons take biopsies.
I would definitely go see the surgeon so they can decide what to do. Sometimes they take things out even when they aren't cancer.

If your breasts are really dense, it can be harder to detect lumps. Small lumps can be hidden, so it wouldn't hurt to see the specialist.
