A member asked:
Help me if you had a lump in your breast for a year does it mean cancer?

Not necessarily: A lump in the breast does not necessarily mean cancer. The risk at your age is very low. However, it would be good idea to see a doctor for an examination to determine if a mammogram or needle biopsy may be warranted.
