When I was a young teenager, around 13-14, I found a lump under my right nipple. I was scared and embarrassed so I didn't tell anyone about it for over a year. Eventually I went to the doctors and they weren't worried at all. This lump has never gone and I know this from checking my breasts daily! 2 weeks ago I was checking my breasts when I noticed my right nipple felt different. It felt like there was a small pea sized lump attached to the tissue under my nipple. It's not painful or tender in any way, and I have no other symptoms either.
I'm about to turn 24 now and I honestly feel too scared to go to the doctors. I'm absolutely terrified of receiving bad news. I don't have support around me.
