Hello, Larry. Nice to meet you and I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated. Just a couple questions. How big are the lumps? Pea size/ Dime size/ Quarter size? What is the shape of the lump? Oval. round, or very irregular shaped? Does the lump move at all if you push on it? Is the lump smooth? Squishy? Hard? Can you move it around underneath your skin? Any discharge from the nipple?

Malignant masses are usually very hard and are irregularly shaped. They are a rough texture rather than smooth. They usually don't roll around under the skin and tissue. Malignant lumps usually don't budge. They feel like they're stuck to something like the ribs or underlying tissue. I use the word "usually" strongly.

I agree that you need to pursue this further. Don't let them brush you off. Ask for a Mammogram or an Ultrasound.

I agree with sludge.  I'd get that checked.  Am surprised your doctor didn't know how to do a breast exam?  If anything they should be doing one on themselves, male or female.

Sorry Larry,

I hope you find someone that will check you out,

it sounds serious but being that I am a woman, I

wouldn't know who would help if your primary dr.

couldn't help or refer you to someone that could,

but someone on here will have the answer. Pain

or change in lumps or tenderness is what they tell

us to watch out for. Get help somewhere soon.
