Breast lump, what does yours feel like.

Hi All. 

I'm just wondering what your breast lump actually feels like? And if you have been diagnosed what did yours feel like and did you have any other symptoms other than a lump? 

I have a lump right behind my right nipple, it feels around 2.5cm and moves. It doesn't feel like a round stone it almost feels flat but long, imagine a hard mini chicken fillet! I do have fibrous breasts, I also haven't self examined for years so no idea how long it's been there.

I have severe health anxiety and it's consuming me, I'm really struggling

    I didn’t feel anything. I had no symptoms and no palpable lump. Mine was picked up via routine mammogram. The scariest thought is that had I been due for mammogram 6 months before would it not have been there then, and would it have then been 3 years till it was found? Luckily it was and was 9mm. We check our breasts but as with me. Nothing was palpable
