Answers:
Fibrous cysts are very common in pregnancy. also, it is very possibly your milk glands enlarging before birth. Totally normal! You can be especially sure they're OK if they're symmetrical on both sides. No cancer grows symmetrically. Yes you can get a mammogram while breastfeeding, but it's difficult to get a really good reading.

While you're breastfeeding your breasts will be "lumpy" feeling for a while as well, so don't worry...it's all normal.

I'm sure you're fine. Don't freak! Call your OBGYN if you're really concerned.Health Question & Answer

The feature you are describing are likely because of pregnancy. The breast are preparing for the lactation.
In any case getting a clinical examination by the doctor is called for as cancer can be found during pregnancy or lactational period.

In case the doctor finds suspicous mass, he will advise accordingly. Ultrasonography of the breast is a better option in your condition as compared to mammography. Health Question & Answer

I was reading up on breast cancer, and when you have "small marble size" lumps this could mean you could have breast cancer, BUT don't panic, it doesn't mean you do for sure so just book an appointment and see your doctor!! Best wishes!!Health Question & Answer

It could just be your milk coming in.
I would mention it to your doctor on your next OB visit.
Check it frequently and note any changes in the lumps so you can tell your doctor. Get it checked out soon for your peace of mind.Health Question & Answer

While it not impossible for you to have cancer, don't you think it's just a little bit more likely that......it's because you are pregnant.?

Mention your concerns to your doctor!Health Question & Answer

Your mammory glands are filling up so you can feed the baby - you don't need to worry. It happened to me too.Health Question & Answer
