Scared! A lump found, Mamogram/Ultra Sound is negative for cancer but concerns

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am Mia, I am 30yr old. I just joint.

I had thyroid cancer and had two surgeries, in June and July 06 to

remove my thyroid. I started taking Thyroid hormone (Synthroid)

since August 06. I gained about 5 lbs since the surgeries, I was 98

lbs in ~ May 06, I am now 103 lbs. After the first surgery, I

noticed some pain around my chest area. My breasts got larger

gradually. Especially my left breast. Sometime I could feel a sharp

pain. It has this burning/hot sensation periodically and a bit worst

during the last two periods, and a little bit worst on the left

breast.

On top of that, my ribs under the breasts are also painful when I

press on them (more pain on the left side). The pain were everywhere

around the breast area. At first I could not tell where the pain came

from. I later found that most of the pain come from the rib beneath

the breast.

I am Asian. I am skinny and my breasts were very small (flat). The

left breast didn't really developed. Now, the left breast is

slightly larger than the right breast. Two months ago, I felt a

thick, lumpy tissue on that left breast. For the first time, I went

for a mamogram & Ultra sound on December 28 06 (during time which I

had my period). The doctor came out and said the result looks find

on mamogram. She did Ultra sound and said there are thicker tissue

on the left breast. She told me to come back in four months. I was

too happy to hear the mamogram result looked fine and forgot to ask

her other questions. I later read that mamogram may not be very

helpful in young wowen. I continue to feel the lumpy tissue and the

burning sensation. The swelling doesn't go down much after the

period neither.

I am so scared that I am losing sleep and having nightmare over this

but I don't really know what to do? What kind of test to do etc...

Can someone help me please? Thank you very much. Mia
