I wonder about the report of a "hard mass". It seems from the report that it's the entire breast? That's not how real breasts work. Real breasts are partly fat, partly mammary glands. The latter could be described as "hard" (certainly harder than the fat they're in, but do NOT squeeze them to find out how hard they are!) and are sort of distributed around in the fat, connected to the nipple by milk ducts. 
The non-hardness of the fat is what gives the breast its overall squishyness, and is why push-up, push-together, etc., bras can do what they do. 
One huge hard mass sounds more like an implant 
 And about as desirable.

Thanks  for  trying to help me figure this out.
Your input is much appreciated.
the problem is hypertrophy of the breast.
what caused it?
is it breast or  some kind of tumor?
You indicate that it  most commonly  occurs  during pregnancy?
That indicates to me its  triggered  by a  estrogen spike? which something in the  breast over  reacts to. I need to find out what kind of cells  makeup that  growth?
And like you indicate the  real breast is composed  mostly of two  types  of  tissue-  
I have a males  body  which has never seen estrogen, and this growth occurred  within days of a  massive estrogen  dose  which was self administered.
I am able to  monitor the breast ( over time ) and  eventually figure should  it out?
  The area  under  the nipple, and the  bottom of the  breast feels like fat?  and  on to of the chest  a  hard mass.
There is too much Skin  fat in the way for a  good  examination.  I am on a crash diet, and i will be able to  examine  it  better  once  all this fat is out of the way- at a pound a day that  will be  in two months.
The right  breast  grew  at  1/2 the rate of the  left breast, both grew at the same time  and both stopped growing once i stopped  taking the drug. 
I  don't  know what it really  is? 
I am of the mind set- that  nothing  is  ever  known for sure-
Nothing is  absolutely   true of false  - its always unknown.
Only mathematics  can be proven.
