I have been through this and it was a benign lump, I know how scary it can be! All I can think of is that cysts and fatty lumps feel 'mobile' whereas a tumour usually feels more part of the breast and often has a rich blood supply. However, this is not set in stone and nothing can beat a full and thorough examination so dont delay in getting checked out.
havinmysay, everyone is giving you good advice here. See your doctor asap. Don't get too worried at this stage though, as the majority of lumps are harmless. Having said that, if it is more serious, you will have seen a doctor in the early stages and so will have the best chance of successful treatment. It is never good to delay getting these things checked out. I wish you all the best. We will be here for you whatever the outcome, so please let us know how you get on. Big hug of support and courage! XXX :o)
