18 Year old daughter has lump in breast

Hello, my 18 Year old daughter has found a lump in her breast.

She went to the doctors who said it’s a 6cm cyst and to wait until after her period to see if it’s reduced in size. If it hasn’t they will send her for further tests. I just wanted to ask if it will be ok to wait and if the doctor can tell just by feeling the lump? I don’t want to leave it amd it turns out to be something more sinister. Thank you for your help.

  • My 23yr old just had a similar experience and was referred under the 2ww.  We panicked as the GP could clearly feel it but the consultant said I wouldn't even send her tor a scan but I will because I know you will worry.

    All was well, was just normal lumpy breast tissue.
