breast lump...

Ive had this tiny hard pebble like thing in my breast since the beginning of my pregnancy. It seems bigger now. Im scared of breast cancer. My mother had it, and her mother had it. I dont know what to do. I mean my son wont take the bottle. My doctor cant check me while breastfeeding bc the scan gives radiation. Im stuck. What if it is? Im honestly terrified. My family dr told me to come back after im done breastfeeding. That sounds like horrible advice. These things should be checked out and taken care of immediately right? I'm scared.

I would go to an OBGYN, not a family doc about this. I'm not sure why you were told you can have a mamo while breastfeeding because of radiation, that doesn't make a lot of sense. And with an ultrasound he radiologist will be able to tell the difference between what is milk (fluid) vs a mass (solid tissue.) sorry you're going through this, how stressful! Do whatever is going to put your mind at ease!

I agreed definitely get a second opinion. Regarding baby not taking a bottle - there's not much point now that these babies are 8 months. Mine has never taken a bottle - I've had more success practicing with a sippy cup (no valve) with water every day. I think she'd take a milk feed from it if needed.

Have you tried different nipples? Like ones that resemble breast nipples?

I had the same thing before I had my daughter. My doctor said that based on the consistency and how it felt when he tried to move it around it felt like a cyst. I then had a mammogram and they said the same thing (probably cyst) and that it was up to me to decide if I want them to take it out. They said it didn't look like a tumor but they won't know for 100% certain until they do a biopsy (after removal).

I had it removed and it was indeed just a cyst. It was a hard lump that grew bigger, not painful or anything.

Yeah there should be something they can do. Get a second opinion ASAP. I'm exclusively breastfeeding but my doc said to let him know if I ever feel a lump that is concerning and doesn't go away. It makes me think he would totally look into it. Find a new doc who will do something because if it is cancer. You want to catch it now.

I just feel like there has to be something they can do. Maybe just take a biopsy of the lump and see if its cancerous or just a cyst. That way i dont have to stress and quit breastfeeding for no reason

I want a second opinion for sure. Yes i did mention an ultrasound but she said something about it not going to be accurate bc of the milk.

Can they do an ultrasound instead of a mammogram since your nursing? I've had an ultrasound for a lump before. I would at least make an appointment with another Dr for a second opinion and other options.
