Lump in breast for over 10 years. Been told numerous times it's ok but now it's tender. Will I have this lump forever?

I have had a lump in left breast for 10 years, had it checked numerous times and told it’s ok. My whole breast are tender (I’m 39 and experiencing many perimenopause symptoms) is there a chance I’ll have this lump forever?

Hello Cath86 and thanks for your post,

The majority of benign lumps/cysts disappear over time but in some cases they never completely go away.

You may be interested in reading Breast Cancer Now's information about benign cysts.

If of course you notice any changes in the cyst or it appears to get any bigger then do go back and get it checked by your GP.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Catherine
