Hello, I am new to this area on healing well.
I was diagnosed when I was 19 with Fibrocycstis (ok I dont know how to spell it, its the lumps in the breast that after biopsy says non-cancerous).
I am now 31 years old, the major lump I had at 19 is the same no changes. I have found a few stranglers here and their, they do the typical grow around menstrual and disappear shortly after, creating pain that came and went.
I found a quite large mass on the outside of my right breast, on the surface of this large mass I can feel long nodule like bumps which do not move. This part of my breast is painful as of the last few weeks, not during my typical painful breast time. Not only that but there is a small bruise the size of a dime which has not gotten worse, but not gotten better. My veins are seen very easily, and my lymph nodes in my armpits and one in the inside of my elbow are swollen but not hard.
The pain is very overwhelming by the end of the day, and I have to pray that my 5 year old crazy son doesnt try to jump on me while Im on the couch. He did that yesterday and it sent me into a sharp pain localized to my right nipple and the area of the large mass.
Heres my question, should I go to the ER? Urgent Care? Or wait to get into see my regular doctor?
Family history: Mom had ovarian cancer, full hysterectomy at age 38 because it was so advanced, my moms sisters all have been diagnosed with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer, my fathers mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer as well.
Help please!
