Yes, I have always had lumpy boobs but did find a strange lump and had it checked out, all was ok. Crow lady, you are doing the right thing. The drs will talk you through things, as to what checks they want you to have, so you may not even have to cease hrt immediately if at all. Explain to the dr or nurse your fears about the thought of stopping hrt too, as it seems to be such a help for you. Let us know how you get on. X
