Moveable breast lump

Hello, I am terrified as I have a breast lump. . I have created a post in pre diagnosis and have been seeking support but only just found this ask the nurses theme. My lump is quite large, about 3-4cm and not rock hard but I think firm. It is moveable and I don’t think attached or fixed. Does this point more towards a cyst rather than cancer because of it’s size, moveability. I am so frightened and looking for any reassurance. I have appointment coming at the breast clinic I hope this week.

    what did your GP say about the lump 

    I have seen here hard lumps soft lunps large small and all have different outcomes , when you get to the breast clinic you will have all the tests , maybe a biopsy if something looks like it needs one the only 100 percent accurate is to go to the breast clinic xx 

    only 2 in 10 referals end uo with a diagnosis so odds are on your side xxx
