I'm sorry you've gone through all that, with the infections and surgeries, and the disappointments about your implants. You've had to deal with some difficult times.
Here's an important question. Do you like the doctor you have now? Do you trust her or him?
Because I'd sure like you to make an appointment to have this lump checked out. If it's sore and sometimes feels hot, you want to find out if it's anything more than a bruise or swollen lymph node. You're smart to notice the symptoms and you're smart to ask about them. When it comes to our breasts, we can't be too careful, and with a family history, you're even smarter to be aware.
Here's a page from the Mayo Clinic on evaluating breast lumps:
How do you feel about your doctor? Do you need help finding a new one? If so, where do you live? Our EmpowHer readers are incredible when it comes to this kind of help.
