Holiday2015 - worried about breast health

I’m so scared about a month ago j pressed my breast and thought I felt a pop . Now a month on my breast in same place has indented and there’s a solid hard lump 

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are worried about a breast lump. I can understand how unsettling this must be for you. Breast lumps are very common and the majority are benign (not cancer). It is always a good idea to have any lump in the breast investigated. In the first instant the GP will perform a breast examination and may then refer you to a breast clinic for further tests.

    Most women who are referred to a breast clinic don't have cancer but if a GP wants further information about a lump then they may consider referring you.

    Try not to over think it for now but do make an appointment just to rule anything serious out.

    I do hope this helps.

    If you would like to chat any of this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a call.

    The number to ring is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,
