Lump In Right Breast
41 Answers
Hi my mum is 75 and has a huge phobia of hospitals, she knows if she goes to see the doctor he will send her to the hospital so going to the doctor is a no go, she says she has had it for a few months and not said anything, the lump is very painful but hasnt grown in size since she first noticed it, she says she is losing weight but ive told her weight loss can be due to stress and worry, ive offered to take her to see the doc and so has my dad but she just doesnt want to hear it, does anybody any idea what this could be, cancer? Cyst? Any help appreciated. X
