Fibrous tissue? Breast cancer? Movable hard pea

Hello! 

Ive been to doctor twice and been told it was just my breast bone. Me being me im not one to contest it even though i can feel about 1-2cm lump. Its literally movable left right up and down but they missed it

.. its fine i told myself. Month later its still there and ive been googling getting anxious about it so i book another appointment but with a different doctor she finally found it! I was so pleased it wasnt all in my head she said its very movable and shes certain its fibrous tissue or fatty tissue. Its the size of a pea.. smooth and hard. Has anyone had any experiences with fibrous tissue? Also she asked me if i wanted to be referred to a breast clinic? or monitor in a months time and she said she thinks this would be best. Ive had it two months now (for as much as i can remember i have checked i know im bad since having my eldest whos 1.)

Any help or advice bad or good i dont mind. Im 27 with two children married with an amazing life my mum suffers awfully with cysts and lumpy breast tissue. 

Thank you in advance! 

  • Hello Chloe - sorry you're in such a muddle about this. I can't say I've had this problem but I have a friend who has almost all of her life - she's now 73 & perfectly well. It may well be something that's in your family as your mum has it. Try not to worry sweetie & trust your GP who will do what's in your best interests I'm sure.

    Googling things is the WORST thing you can do - most of what's out there is rubbish & anything that isn't rubbish will be medically based & you won't understand it so why do it? It just causes anxiety for no good reason.

    You're young & highly unlikely to be ill with anything serious so just enjoy your life & trust your doctor. All the best. xx

  • Aww thanks for your reply Purrfect. I cant help but think now why did she ask me if i wanted to be reffered shouldnt she of made that decision rather than it be me? Do you think i need to? Do you know what i mean i stumbled across this forum of people in the early stages of it all and had a misdiagnosis of fibrous tissue so now im like should i of agreed and said yes this is what i woild like. Thank you for listening and replying i really apprechiate it. My husband has had enough of me asking what if and asking his opinion for am ithinking rationally? 

     

    Thank you so much again xxx

  • Hello love,

    if it was me I think I'd want my mind putting at rest once and for all, get an appointment for the breast clinic and confirm your doctors prognosis.....you know it will settle your mind.....xx

  • After thinking long and hard ive allowed the doctor to refer us. I think your proberly right the fact i had some kind if inclin of worry behind it. Its just so movable and round! ive never ever experienced anything like it! I had a cervical cancer scare last year following an internal and biopsy so i kinda putting all the things together although it came back clear. I think ive got over the lump shock as ive been living with it for about 2 months now (that ive noticed) just hope its nothing sinister fingers crossed the app comes in quickly xx 

    Thank you for replying zx fingers crossed! 

  • I'm sure it's an innocent lump, but a professional telling you this after an ultrasound or mammograms will be a huge relief....let us know how it goes xx

  • Thanks Marlyn. Will be in contact when i have a scheduled /appointment. Hope it comes round quick. Google is awful! Cant wait to come off contraceptives too now as i think their heigtened anxiety is to blame! 

     

    Love and light to you
