Breast symptoms - waiting on appt

Hello

Firstly I would like to say how amazing everyone is on the group. I have been swithering to post the last few days as feel like a hyndrince when I don't have any diagnosis. 

3 weeks ago I noticed pain under my armpit / side of boob but thought nothing of it until I realised it wasn't shifting. I then discovered what feels like a hard mass on the same breast but other side of breast to the pain. I got this checked at the gp who referred me to the breast clinic and said she wasn't happy with shape and feel. Of breast but it could jsut be tissue. In the last 10 days there has been further changes. The breast shape has changed, seems swollen and I can feel the mass much closer to the surface of the skin. Where I am having the pain (not too painful) but it's there and faint I can feel something hard deep within the skin. The skin around my nipple has also changed and looks a bit discoloured and also I have lots of white marks on the skin. 

 

I reported thsi back to my gp and they've marked my referral as urgent. 

 

I'm 30 years old and 10 years ago had a benign lump on the same breast but no other symptoms. 

 

I know I can't do anything until they see me but it's hard not to worry. 

 

Any advice would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks xx

 

  • Hi there ..

    Sorry you've had no reply, but some just slip through the net .. so in answering you will go back to the start and hopefully more will pop on ..

    My first 4 call backs from mamorgrams over the years were fine... and some felt really hard  and one moved , one didn't, and one was painful .. but all were o.k .. I'd just had lumpy boobs .. and 8.5 out of ten lumps are benign... so try to hold on till you get all your tests done .. 

    And there's so many on here, that are comming through breast cancer, it's a shame, the t.v doesnt show the good outcomes too .. look at Victoria Derbyshire... she's doing really well ... like lots on here .. but fingers crossed your will be a good outcome .. but you'll find lots on here will help you through if it is ..  Chrissie x

    Thanks so much for your reply. I think and hope that may just be the case that I have a lumpy boob. In life its always hard not to prepare yourself for the worst outcome isn't it. Glad your ok. Thanks again x
