Could Lumps On Breast Be Sign Of Cancer?

Hi, I am a 23 year old female. I discovered a lump on my right breast (about the size of a gumball) at about the age of 18. Now I feel two more on my left breast. I had a doctor take a look around age 20, and he said it was unlikely for it to be cancer...but no tissue sample was ever taken out due to financial issues..what could it be? Why did I get more on my left side?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It can be just a tumour ( non cancerous ) which also gives multiple and recurrence after the lumpectomy - generally seen in your age group.
2.But nothing can take it as grant, you have to get investigated accordingly.
3.If you are my patient i would start with examination of breast, and an ultrasound scan (gives almost narrow diagnose - about kind of lump) and after that an FNAC fine needle aspiration biopsy.
4.So its time for you to see your doctor as soon as you can get the appointment.
5.Do not ignore. Hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
