Hi Indigobug.

Its so daunting and the waiting is the worst thing. I found a lump too was referred to breast clinic and was seen in a week. Had to wait nearly 2 weeks for diagnosis though.

I'm a very factual person so had read up on all the types of lumps on nhs website and found that really helpful.

Definitely don't go through this alone, if you really don't want to tell your mum maybe a close friend you can confide in will help.

Stay safe x

Hiya! 
 

now hoping not to scare you but I had similar and it turned out to be cancer. This does not mean yours is! 
 

im hoping to put you at ease if it does turn out to be cancer. I had 2 lumps removed, one was early stage and the other was stage 1. After surgery it came back stage 2 and positive in my sentinel lymph node.

ive finished chemo and starting radiotherapy next week and my hormone tablets (tamoxifen) today.

its a long old road but it's manageable. 

theres loads of different types and stages hormone positive and negative etc so trying to guess doesn't do anything other than pickle your brain. 
 

and there's also non cancerous lumps - Yey!

i will say this will be the longest and hardest time waiting for results so take it easy and be kind to yourself xxx
