Do I have cancer?
Black Knight asked:
Before I ask the question, I am going to see a doctor this week.
I was just wondering, is it possible that I have (male) breast cancer? I had this lump under my chest for a little over a month, and it has gotten a little bigger ever since.
The reason why I didn’t goto a doctor when I first got it is because I usually get lumps round my chest but it always went after a few days.

It might be breast CA, but don’t jump to conclusions…do as you are going to do…go and see a doctor…
The doctor will order a bunch of labs, blood work to be done…if the numbers come back out of whack, then the doc will order more tests…
However, it might be a swollen, and/or infected lymph node…and when the doc does the blood work on you…if your white blood cells are elevated, that means there’s an infection somewhere…most likely, the lymphnode under your arm, in your chest area…
It sounds like it’s lymph because you mention that it swells up, then goes away…
Better to be safe than sorry…go and get checked out by the doctor…
Good luck to you.
