2.5cm cyst in left breast

I found what I thought was a pea-sized cyst in my left breast. Told by my doctor it is actually about 2.5cm, and now have an urgent referral due to my age (54). I know it might turn out to be nothing but am still sick with worry. Not sure how I'm going to get through the next couple of weeks waiting for an appointment, let alone waiting for any results!

  • Hi Lizlo, sorry to hear about all the worry you are going through. You are doing the right thing getting it checked out and the breast screening clinics are very thorough and reassuring. Most people who are investigated following referral do not have cancer so the odds are certainly in your favour. Wishing you all the best for your appointment xx
