Really worried

I found a lump on my sternum in between my breasts about the width of a 50p peice. I did notice this few months ago and it was smaller but thought nothing of it.

When I realised it felt bigger I got checked and the doctor also said she felt a lump under my left breast too so has referred me to a breast clinic 

My app is on Friday in worried sick about it, if it's something bad will they tell me straight away? I've been so nervous

  • Hi dcm 

    welcome 

    sometimes they may give you a indication in my case I was told it was suspicious, but until the biopsy comes back they cannot confirm 100 percent unfortunately for me my biopsy came back the dreaded BC but that was last July I'm fully recovered and living my life as it was before .

    holefully for you it won't be bad news the breast clinics are very good you will feel at ease they are very knowledgeable.

    good luck my lovely

  • Thank you I really appreciate it.

    Im taking my sister with me to the appointment as just feel I'll be a mess anytime I think about it I'm crying. I've got two kids just the thought of anything wrong breaks me.  I lost my mum to cervical cancer when I was 17 and it was the worst pain ever don't ever want my children to feel that xx

    yes better to take someone with you , I stupidly didn't as I didn't feel any lump I just had a heaviness and as my friend was diagnosed a few month prior I thought I was imagining I had something wrong went for a appointment as I had private insurance and had the biggest shock ever but I found myself lucky in s unlucky situation it was early stages and was glad it was found 

    yes I completely understand your worry , but try and keep busy and don't forget , you are just going through a check to rule it out my lovely 

    love Lara ️
