Hi Chrissybell and thank you for your post.

 I am sorry to hear about the results of your mammogram but it's important not to overthink until you have all the necessary information.

Most breast lumps are found to be benign (non-cancer) and are often caused by fluid-filled cysts or a build-up of fatty tissue called a fibroadenoma and are harmless.

Please try and refrain from relying on Google for cancer information as it is a complex and individual disease.

The prognosis of any cancer depends on more than where in the body it is found. It depends on the grade and stage and how well the person responds to treatment.

You may have read an article which reported that lumps found in the central region of the breast could result in a less favourable outcome. However, it has been noted that this correlation is not independent of the location of the lump, but rather it is dependent on its size. This means that central lumps are more difficult to detect, and therefore, they may not be identified until they have grown to a larger size. The smaller the lump is when first diagnosed then the better the outcome. 

I hope you know more soon and that everything will be okay for you.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the best, take care,

Tina
