Hi All,

I'm 27 and happened to brush past a small lump in my left breast just below the nipple last weekend, I got an appointment with the GP first thing on Monday morning and she was great about it. She thought given its texture, shape and size it was most likely to be a fibrous lump/cyst but referred me to the breast unit for further investigation.

I am very vigilant for changes and regularly check my breasts but since the appointment on Monday I've been an absolute wreck. I can't sleep, eat, think happy thoughts, I just keep thinking the worst. 
 

Everyone keeps saying try not to worry but it's so difficult and I feel so alone. I've been speaking to my mum a lot as she had a lump a few years back where she has bashed her breast by accident but I feel bad for telling her my worst fears because I'm sure they're hers as well.

I think not having a date yet for the scan is making it worse and reading other people's experiences have helped. Hopefully I get my scan letter soon.
