Does this sound like breast cancer?

So I’m new here so I don’t know if this is the right place to post this, but I’m hoping for answers. I have a lump on my left brestbone, it doesn’t stick out of my skin, but it defiantly makes my left side of my chest look more raised. It feels hard like it could be bone, it’s irregular in shape and it’s not moveable. I’m only 18 so I’m worried? In your experience does this sound worrying?

Thanks for all the advice x

    Hi Cezbear!

    I would make an appointment with your primary care clinician to have an exam. Many irregularities are actually normal variations of anatomy. That being said, you never know for certain.

    I am a Nurse Practitioner in the States and performed countless breast exams. One thing is certain, you need to be examined by a professional. They can do an X-ray if they are concerned about the structure, contour, or shape of the breast bone.

    Please let me know what they find.

    I shall be thinking of you!

    Best Wishes

    Merry Juliana
