Hi Pink,

I hope it is ok for a femme to post here.

I am RN and have had to deal with this issue with patients but also personally.

Some "other reasons" for lumps that I have experienced myself: two benign lumps that had to be removed (complete with ultrasound and needle biopsies) and a benign cyst that had to be drained.

It is easy to panic as the spector of breast CA is so scary for all of us-regardless of identity but lumps do not always mean cancer.

Hugs to you both and hang in there.
