Hi Riku,

we often find ourself during these types of situations doubting ourselves. 

I'm quite sure it's possible to find or develop a lump anywhere in your breast, as with any lumps it could be a multitude of things. However if your mind is anything like mine it goes immediately to the dark place. 
 

You are now in the system with your referral, the waiting is hard but you'll soon know either way. I'd say avoid google but I tell myself this and then find myself at 1am googling - can you wear knickers in surgery! 
 

Just know your worries are valid and important, you are not alone. 
big hugs,

Hello and thank you for your post.

I think the nipple area can be difficult to assess for lumps.  You might be feeling a lump but I'm afraid I cannot say if there is one there. I think what is important to know is that you will be seen in the breast clinic by a specialist doctor. So it's probably a good idea to wait until then and not try to find lumps before then. 

At this appointment you will have your breasts examined, have a mammogram and/or ultrasound scan of both your breasts. You will be told what the scans showed (the results)  and if you need to have a biopsy.

I hope your appointment goes well. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Caroline
