Gp found a breast lump under areola, described it as "rubbery and mobile" it's approx. 1/4". mentioned cancer. could it be anything else? sent for us

Yes: It may be a papilloma, a benign cyst, or any of several other entities. If it is cancer, a small one like this is most often curable. I would urge you to check your own breasts for lumps and get seen if you find a dominant mass.
