I found a hard lump in my breast that doesn’t move :(

I found a hard lump in my breast, just above the nipple. It doesn't move and it feels like it's stuck.. It's strange because it feels like it's about 2-3cm but I can't only feel the lump properly if I lift my arm up or if I'm laying down. I googled about breast lumps and mine seems to fit the description of a breast cancer lump.. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to get it checked but im so worried, I honestly can't stop thinking about this lump it's driving me insane.. 

  • Hello court99 and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    How did your doctor's appointment go yesterday? You did well to get it checked as this will be the only way to get any clarity on this. Try to resist the temptation to google what it might be as this will never provide you with definite answers and only tends to make us worry even more. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this while you are waiting to find out more is to keep busy and distracted if you can. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
