My doctor told me that if I felt any lumps that I should talk to him. He told me to check regularly. So, I did. It's been two months since we spoke. Last night, I was checking and then when I touched near the middle, I felt a lump and, I tend to be freaked out easily by anything that seems unhealthy. Well, I closed my eyes and trierd to calm down, then fell asleep. When I woke up, I check again, and the lump was gone. What should I do? I can't go to the doctors because my mother says I'm just over reacting, but I still have a bad feeling. Anyone know what's wrong?

If you dont feel it chances are it was nothing. If you are really really bothered by it. Tell your mother that you think you should talk to your docotor about it. is there a certain reason he asked you to check regularly for a lump?
