Breast surgeon: I assume you've had the tumor evaluated. If not you need to see a breast specialist.

Unclear: What do you mean by "tumor in the breast"? It could be a lumpy breast related to breastfeeding, a cyst, a benign growth such as a fibroadenoma or less likely breast cancer. Have the breast lump checked by your doctor. You are probably too young to have had a screening mammogram but may need one now. While you are at your doctors, ask about pap smear and vaccination for your newborn.
