Hello and thanks for your post

I see that Jolamine has given you some good advice already saying that there are many different reasons for breast lumps. This includes cysts (fluid filled sac), fibroadenoma ( build-up of tissue) that you can read about here . Most breast lumps aren't found to be anything serious, but your GP has referred you to the breast clinic to get it checked out just to be sure.

Waiting when you are worried is very stressful but the majority of people who are referred to the breast clinic are found not to have breast cancer. The organisation Breast Cancer Now has information on what to expect when you’ve been referred to a breast clinic and you can read this information at this link.  

I hope everything turns out to be okay. If you would like to talk this through with one of the nurses directly, you can telephone us on 0808 800 4040.  We are here from Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.

Best wishes,

Celene
