How To Treat Thickened Mass In Left Breast?
my mom has a thickened mass ish thing in her left boob. it has a small indent in the surface, and its hard, but somewhat squishy at the same time. its also somewhat moveable. shes 51 and about to go through menopause. she doesnt have any discharge though. could this be breast cancer?

Since your mom is having mass in her left boob i would recommend she does bilateral mammography test.
If any space occupying lesion is found in the mammography then biopsy from that mass is recommended to rule out malignancy.
