Unfamiliar lump

Hi, I’ve recently found a lump and scared of what it could be but I’m also too anxious to book a doctors appointment because of the placement and worried it could be something serious I’m mainly looking for advice on what to do and whether I should book the appointment to be safe 

  • Hi Chlbob,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. 

    I am sorry to hear that you have found a lump and understand your concerns. However, you should definitely book an appointment with your GP. Not all lumps turn out to be cancerous. It is a fact that 80% of those referred to the breast clinic will be cancer free. Many turn out to be benign cysts, fibroadenoma or due to hormonal changes. If it is sinister, the sooner it gets treated, the better your outcome is likely to be.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you,

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
