New symptoms four months after clear mammogram

I'm worried sick waiting for an appointment to the breast clinic. I was in the same position back in January but had it checked out and everything was fine. The consultant was so positive he told me everything looked okay before I even had the mammogram. However I left the clinic still with a niggling doubt. Letter arrived three weeks later saying no abnormalities found. Three weeks ago I had more pain in left breast but different this time. GP examined me and found a lump and thinks the breast feels very hard so it's back to the specialist now. Waiting ten days now for appointment and getting very worried convinced it's something wrong. GP said clear mammogram is reassuring buts let's get it checked. I have been reading other posts here and they have been helping to keep me calm.

  • Hello LyndaP and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry you've had more pain in your breast and that your GP has now found a lump.

    I know this must be worrying but if you can, try not to jump to any conclusions or assume the worst. Always much easier said than done but as your GP said, the clear mammogram you had at your last appointment is reassuring.

    Many of our members know how scary and stressful this time can be so you are not alone and hopefully some of them will pop by soon to offer you 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 until you know more.

    We're wishing you all the best with your appointment LyndaP and we'll have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
