Hi all

I found a little lump in my breast I have been having alot of breast pain before Christmas I had the gp check me over, and they said they couldn't feel anything I had some bloods and they think I'm pre menopause. Thought I had got to the bottom off it then found this lump went yesterday had the gp ok who was lovely I'm coming up to 32 she said she could feel the lump and a second one which I still can't feel. She said both are smooth and moblue but I have to be referred on two week wait because of my age and my mum just recently has breast cancer last year.

I can't help but be absolutely terrified

    Hi Fran,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    Waiting to be seen and then waiting for any results is usually the worst part of our cancer journey. Not all lumps are cancerous. Many are benign cysts, hormonal or fibrous changes. It is a known fact that only 1 person in every 8 seen at the breast clinic will get a cancer diagnosis. I am sorry to hear that your mum has also been diagnosed  - this is bound to make you feel more anxious. 

    The fact that your GP found your lumps to be smooth and mobile, as the majority of cancerous lesions in the breast tend to be fixed and jagged. Try to find something to keep you preoccupied until your appointment comes through, as this helps the time to pass. Please let us know whhen you get your appointment. We are always here for you.

    Here's hoping for good news.

    Kind regards,
