    Hi Youngya,

    A very warm welcome to the forum.

    I am sorry to hear about your aching breast. Some cancers feed on Oestrogen which is a component of HRT, so many are advised to stop taking HRT. I am glad to see that you have an appointment on Monday and I'm sure that your consultant will give you the necessary advice then. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many turn out to be cysts or Fibroadenoma. It is a fact that only 20% of those who attend the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis.

    I hope that all goes well for you on Monday. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
