A member asked:

I have a breast lump. i dont understand what moveable means. mine is rooted to the nodular breast tissue underneath but it moves with the breast tiss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breast lump: With dense breast such as with fibrocystic changes a "lump" may not be as "moveable", but any breast mass should be evaluated with a digital mammogram, especially if breast cancer is present among family members (grandmother, sister, mother).
