Bump to breast!

[sistergolden]

can anyone tell me if there is any connection with a bump on the breast and developing cancer of same area...

[Toureman]

Sometimes there is.

The simple answer is see your GP.

Do you mean you can feel a bump or lump in your breast?

If so, see a doctor.

But if you mean can a physical bump/punch/thump to the breast cause cancer in later years - then no. Every woman will have had bumps to the breast area.

If you mean a lump, then it could be serious.

If you mean someone has bumped it, then I don't know. I did know a man who developed testicular cancer after receiving a hard impact in that area. Of course it could have been a coincidence. Either way, you should see your doctor straight away.
