When you had your implants done, did you have your regular breasts removed (as in preventative measures for possibility of breast cancer)? Or were they mainly done for cosmetic purposes?
In any rate, you should go and see your physician about your lump, whether it may be something to do with your implants or possibility of a lump. Anytime there is any concern for possible hereditary breast carcinoma, you should certainly have any abnormality checked. Have you ever considered the genetic testing that can be performed?
I am also a likely candidate for breast cancer and I have been receiving mammograms since I was 30 years old. I now get them every 3 years until age 40, then it will be every years since my risk appears to be high. Early detection is very important and seeing your physician immediately is important. Can you please make an appointment and keep us updated?
