Worried about Breast Cancer

Hi,

 

First time posting so please bare with me. 

Last week I found a lump in my breast (left boob, close to the nipple bottom right). I phoned the GP today, have been seen and she felt it too and although she was not concerned she put me on a 2 week referral route. 

 

Now a bit of backround I have 3 beautiful tinkas and in total breastfed them for 5 years. May have to add that i just fed them on my left side.

Stopped about 5 weeks ago although dont think i have had much milk left recently.

 

My boob now feels so deflated and every time i prod it looks like orange peel and is dented. It does recover relatively quickly and is not dented when left alone. 

Is that normal?  

 

I am just so worried that something will be found! I naturally worry about everything. 

 

The last couple of months have been so hard and i feel like i am not coping very well at all.

 

How long did your referral take? What were the outcomes?

    Hi AO7,

    A very warm elcome to our forum.

    I am delighted to hear that, despite all your worry, everything turned out well for you. Thank you for letting us know that you found oor meeting place so reassuring. We always advise people to stay away from the internet, as much of the information there is out of date, poorly researched, innaccurate or aimed at the spectacular.

    It is good to know that the staff at the breast clinic were all great too and, I'm sure that many of those waiting to be seen will comforted by your experience.

    I hope that you continue to stay well.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
