Lump in breast

Hi I'm 51, have been on HRT patches since Sept and found a large ish lump in my right breast just behind my nipple 3 days before Xmas. I saw the GP snd she's referred me to the local breast clinic but my appointment isn't until 19 Jan due to back log and COVID. This is the second time in 18mths that I've been referred. The last time I found a small pea size lump in my left breast which turned out to a a cyst. This lump feels very different. It's about 1 1.2 inches in diameter ( pretty big) and feel knobbly but not painful at all......I'm trying to convince myself it's another cyst but I'm not doing a very good job of it. I e had a horrendous 12mths as I lost my dear dad to lung and brain cancer in the summer and the thought of this lump being something sinister is driving me mad....

  • Hi Donhug,

    I know this must stressful, especially after the loss of your dad in the summer, but if you can, try to take some comfort and reassurance that the lump you found in your other breast not that long ago was just a cyst.

    Many of our members know how tough this time can be so you're not alone and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer your their support and advice. In the meantime, I hope this article on how to cope with waiting for news will help keep your nerves at bay.

    Fngers crossed for good news on the 19th Donhug.

    Kind regards,
