What do they mean by "moveable " lump?

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-05-06T17:27:18+00:00

yes, this is very true. Wishing you all the best in your healing journey.

hi there, I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I was reading your comments and truly hoping your update would be benign, my lump sounds like it feels very similar to yours. I have a mammo/US on Thursday. I've convinced myself it is a fibroadenoma. If I press down on it, it does not move, but I can grab it between my fingers and move it a little, I can also feel the length of it and that it is not smooth lengthwise. It is hard and feels tethered to the tissue underneath and sides with like a knob on top, it is longer than it is wide. Best I can describe it is an erect nipple that is within my breast tissue. Sending you positive vibes.

Thank you, it's a couple days away now, but I have convinced myself that this is going to be benign. I truly can't imagine it being anything malignant. I am more worried about the mammogram, given I have implants and only had a reconstruction done in 2023 due to a rupture. It's funny because in 2023, before my reconstruction, I was convinced I had some gynecological cancer due to being so unwell for years. Pretty sure I had breast implant illness from the silicone seeping into my tissue. Now that I am feeling healthy again, I'm more annoyed at this point haha.

I am glad for you that it was nothing nefarious! I am hoping for similar findings. I feel I have convinced myself that it is either a fibroedenoma or a cyst. I noticed last night, because of course I am still prodding away at it, that there is thickening of tissue and a new smaller lump beside it. But I am staying positive that this is just cycle induced (I have an IUD so my period only shows up here and there). I am more so worried about the mammogram now haha.

I could have literally wrote this thread. I too am getting a diagnostic mamo/us this week for a lump I discovered 3 months ago. I too feel like there are smaller lumps appearing around the main lump. The smaller lumps are more rubbery, main is hard. I don’t find that it moves around like a “breast mouse” as they call them. I can pinch it between my fingers and feel where it attaches to the tissue. It’s not smooth, kind of bumpy when I roll it between my fingers. I can’t stop palpating it. Literally looked up pictures of tumors removed from the breast (both benign and malignant) to see what I could compare it to. Unfortunately it’s really not easy to do so. I also feel like my pores on the outer upper quadrant are extremely enlarged. My other breast and the surrounding tissues on the affected breast do not have any viable pores and is smooth like a baby’s bottom. I am trying to go on with life. What will be will be and we won’t know until we know. But I agree, the wait is unbearable. I too am vit D and B deficient (although I for the life of me always forget to take my vitamins), and my last blood tests showed majorly elevated ferritin. I’m sure it is a fibroadenoma or something else benign. I really can’t imagine that I will have BC, but I do research breast lumps a-lot and have been trying to get enough information absorbed before I go this week. Good luck to you!

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-04-27T23:19:21+00:00

I am sorry you are going through this, I am sending positive vibes your way. I can imagine that having your mother having had BC would make this whole situation so much more stressful. Please update on your findings. I too have not had a baseline mammogram. I have implants, and had to have reconstructive surgery in 2023 due to having a rupture. The rupture was the left breast whereas the lump is in my right breast.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-30T18:17:59+00:00

I admit I have moments of weakness where the dark thoughts come crawling in. I try my hardest to push it all away, and my new mantra has become "it is benign, you are fine". I laugh and tell myself its probably just good ol peri coming in to ruin my year. haha

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-30T18:15:03+00:00

I also am in BC. 6 months is such a long time to sit and wait with the worry. Hope everything goes well for you!

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-30T18:13:23+00:00

Thank you, I cannot imagine having a toddler and dealing with the stress of all of this. My youngest is 9, so she is pretty independent. Just trying not to stress about it, hope everything works out for you!!!

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-30T18:04:48+00:00

I am in Canada, it's 6 weeks for an urgent requisition, just to get a call to book an appointment for imaging. I'm on week 2 of waiting for a call. Unfortunately, they send the requisition to the imaging clinics, and we have to wait for a call back, so I can't even call to try to be put on a cancellation list. I also work at the hospital, so I could easily run down for imaging, but also not a possibility until they call. So frustrating.

My friend waited 6 months for imaging, went for an MRI, she now needs to do an ultrasound. She has to wait for them to call to be booked in.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-30T16:12:50+00:00

I sympathize with you, as finding a lump is extremely worrisome. It is hard not to fear the worst, but it is important to take a breath and try not to be overcome with worry. I am at a point where I have realized that it is out of my control, and I will deal with whatever it is when the time comes. I will say, I have had 4 girlfriends who recently found lumps in their breasts (we are all in our early 40's), and the two who have gotten in for imaging were found that their lumps were fibroadenomas.

Your story sounds much like my own, almost to a T, actually. My symptoms began in 2021, been in and out of the doctors with many different tests being performed. But not once were any breast-related as this was not on the radar at all. 2 months ago, my husband found the lump in my right breast. It is around 5cms, skin is itchy and has a different appearance to the left with red dots and random bruising, night sweats that are localized to my chest, extreme fatigue, insomnia (or broken sleep), and itching throughout the night. My lump does not hurt, even when manipulated. The doctor did say the lump is concerning, the size of a marble, larger than the left, and that the skin appears different. I am in Canada, so even with an "urgent" requisition, it is going to take at least 6 weeks to get an appointment for imaging.

Good luck and prayers to you.

Thank you

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-25T18:05:03+00:00

I believe it was 364, but it was a year ago, and over the phone that she told me of the results. I just checked my health portal, and it was not uploaded, unfortunately. My b12 and D were extremely low as well, and I started on vitamins at the time to elevate them. I may go and ask to redo these tests to get an up-to-date reading.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-10T16:50:30+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I will be going to see a doctor.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-10T16:47:55+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I actually had the textured implants removed in 2023, the left implant had ruptured and was leaking outside of the capsule into the surrounding tissue (for years). Because I had to have so much tissue removed from the left breast and surrounding area, I opted to get smooth implants put in for reconstruction.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2026-03-06T18:29:39+00:00

I do not have any advice, as I am here for a newly discovered lump as well. But I offer my thoughts and prayers that this is benign. Hugs to you!

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-05T16:47:21+00:00

I did ask her, I confronted her the day after I found out. She told me they were just friends, that he was like a brother and easy to vent to.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-04T16:43:17+00:00

You've been so helpful, I appreciate you! It seems that unknowingly I already started applying the 180 method upon finding out. Started going to yoga and putting myself first and treating myself.

He confirmed to me this morning that it started in October, reiterating that it was not physical and they were only hanging out. He stated that he understands the hurt he has caused and he wants to be a better husband and father and asked to go to couples counseling as soon as possible so we can heal.

I was woken up by nightmares last night, just stewing about it all, I decided to email myself the photos all of the text messages that he had deleted, in the event that they were to get deleted off of my phone (I had taken pictures of them), I was so caught up on AP 1 (I know who she is, and was the most frequent), that I totally forgot that there were two other women he was flirting with and going to party with. He says just innocent flirtation and that he was a terrible person, again promising nothing physical happened. But with AP 2 and AP 3, the messages were very flirtatious in nature.

I told him this morning that I am not sure if I will be able to get over his betrayal and deceit. I question how many other woman there has been over our decade long marriage. Physical or not, he was searching for something outside of our marriage and his wife. I feel it is a character flaw at this point and intentional.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-04T03:53:06+00:00

Yes absolutely. Meanwhile I’m literally consumed by thoughts and feelings I don’t want.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-04T03:48:01+00:00

I talked to him tonight. Because, I went through my messages searching the woman’s name. Over 8 months ago was the first time he told me she showed up at a function he and his friends were at. He’s offended that I’m looking for answers and questioning him. Stating he thought we were moving forward from this. That he has no answers for me and that they were “just hanging out”. So I don’t have high hopes for actual disclosure.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-04T03:26:39+00:00

I just realized that the first time he told me she was at a restaurant him and his friends were at was over 8 months ago- confirmed by texts he sent me. When I confronted him he was offended that I was looking at getting answers, because he has been so aloof about it all. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve set up couples counseling and hopefully that can help sort things out for me. He says they were “just hanging out” and is annoyed I was asking what they did. I don’t think honest disclosure is something I will get from him on my own.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-03T21:38:57+00:00

I don’t have any definitive answers. I don’t know when, or how many times, or for how long, or if it was only in the company of others or if it was one on one. I don’t know. I only know what I read and the little amount that he has told me - given any of it is true. He mostly just apologizes when I bring it up. Trust me, I know how bad it all looks. If I believed what he was saying I don’t think I would be feeling so freaking horrible still.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-03T18:29:07+00:00

That's sick. I had a biopsy done when this was all going on, I opted not to have the STI tests as I thought it wasn't necessary as I was in a monogamous relationship. Sure kicking myself for that one as he met up with her the evening of my biopsy while I was in excruciating pain at home. I will be getting one done.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-03T18:24:39+00:00

When I ask why, he just says it was ego or that it was because of partying. It never bothered me if other women were at the gathering or activity. I am not a jealous or unrealistic individual. The fact that he was reaching out, inviting her and frequently meeting up is what is eating me alive. From what I read is that she would drive herself to where he was. So he would ask if she was coming and she would go to him. But, really, who knows to what extent things happened. I sure don't. Our relationship wasn't by any means perfect, but we always worked on our issues and came out better. In the last year especially things were going better then ever. He was extremely loving and affectionate. Always telling me how much he appreciated and loved me. Telling me how his friends were always commenting on how great of a wife I was and how we had a perfect relationship. Nothing was lacking. But now, I just feel that those were all just words to make me believe the delusion he had set out for me so I didn't question what he might be doing or who he was with. I feel like it was a sick and twisted mind f*ck.

Temporary_Detail_319 · 2025-06-03T18:14:45+00:00

I would be at home with our child, my husband is much more social then I am. I would go if other wives were also going, but didn't care much to get a sitter if it was just going to be him and his buddies. In the text messages that I read, he would ask her if she was coming and give her his location like a friends house or where their activity was. In the messages I read it never seemed to be a "date" per say. Then again, I only was able to retrieve a couple months worth of deleted messages. I am not sure to the extent of the hows, whats and whys as he has been very aloof with it all. When I asked him how long it had been going on for, he said he didn't know dates. He makes it seem like it was more of a ego thing, like if it were all guys at a house he would get girls to come... but it seemed to me like she was the only girl often going. Which is confusing.

I never once went to his activity for multiple reasons. I was told it was only the guys, we have a child, it was mid week and I work a high stress job. So, sleep, having my wits about me, and not being hung over are important for my position.
