Has anyone had a lump that feels more like a tube in breast

I have a new lump In breast above nipple, It feels more like a tube or straw than a round lump. About an inch long and thickness of a normal straw. Doesn't move and feels solid. Can anyone shed any light? Been but on antibiotics to see if it's an infection and to go back in 2 weeks if it's not gone and I will be referred for scans.

anyone else had the same thing?

    Hello Laura895 and a big welcome to Cancer Chat! 

    Unfortunately no one here will be able to shed some light on what this lump might be but I hope that you will hear from others on the forum who have had something similar and that they will share their story with you. I hope that it all gets resolved with the antibiotics but if it doesn't go away, make sure you go back to the doctor's in a couple of weeks as you have been advised. 

    I am keeping everything crossed for you that it turns out to be nothing to worry about. 

    Best wishes,
