I have a lump in my breast that feels like a rubber bouncy ball and is a little bigger-no pain?

Question

I have had this lump for at least 10 years but I never got it checked because I gained weight and thought it went away. Now that I have lost a lot of weight I feel it again. If it were cancerous wouldn't have already killed me? I think it's probably just a cyst but I'm gonna tell my doctor anyway to check it out. What are your opinions? Anyone go with undetected breast cancer for that long without treatment and survived?

Answer 1

The last time i had my yearly examine i asked my doctor about this. She said some girls just randomly develop lumps over they years, most mean nothing.

The lumps u need to be concerned about are ones that feel like erasers from the end of a pencil.  

Answer 2

It sounds like a cyst. If it hasn't gotten bigger through all this time, it's probably benign or not even a tumor, just a cyst. Cysts are very common in b*****s, I've heard.
